11C so far has been so disappointing, nothing had really got me intrigued until this episode. Although my rating is still only a 7, thats all credited to JDM.

I don't know what more to say, every episode has felt very repetitive in these last few. I just hope my favorite show has a good ending, we need Andrew Lincoln to end this series!

Lets be honest, ever since Andy left, this show has been more than dead, even before Andy left some had already given up.

I always stuck around and even though im not completely satisfied with the way this final season has presented itself, I hope we end The Walking Dead on a high note.

Happy 12 years.

Much better episode than the last few, though still struggling with a lack of good transitions between scenes and continuity. But at least this episode actually focuses on people we care about and follows them consistently rather than jumping to people I couldn't give a hoot about. And I feel a bit more positive now I know where they are heading- seems like a good end to the story is finally in sight. My one slight worry is how they plan to tie it all up and lay foundations for a link into Ricks story. I miss Rick a lot-especially this season which has been far from the standard I've come to expect from TWD- but it needs to be done well.

So the writing of this show continues to stay perfectly above mediocre, and I was gonna give this one an 8, but the ending was too good to to that and overall the episode wasn't that bad either.

One of the biggest misses they've done is introducing new variants when there are only 5 episodes left and they only utilize those new walkers in one or at most two episodes, so makes you wonder what the point is if they're not gonna be a big threat like Whisperers were. They might be introducing them to use them in new upcoming spin-offs, but what's the point if there aren't gonna do much in the main show, especially when there are only 2 episodes left now?

One thing about this season that was disappointing was how quickly they got rid of The Reapers. I was totally expecting them to be the season's big bad guys or at least ham them for longer, but they went out as quickly as they came in. I wanted the same treatment with the Commonwealth, meaning that they're in the picture for one only one part of the season and the third part be about another group, optimistically Rick and Michonne's.

But obviously, Commonwealth is way way bigger of a threat than The Reapers so it makes sense it's taking the better part of this final season. The problem is tho, that the hugeness of the Commonwealth is kinda not felt? Like they say there are +50k people living in there but we don't see much of that or we're not shown many streets and houses to feel how big this community actually is.

I also think that Ezekiel and Negan's subplot is way too overdramatic to the point of cheesiness and even cringe. Like it's kinda to the point that the writers think they're making V for Vendetta. This season's plot and storyline obviously is reminiscent of that movie and this has always been a serious drama, but for some reason this one feels way too over the top and overdramatic for its own good.

Rant aside, I thought this episode was decent enough but the ending did it for me. Some problems still get solved really weirdly and easy and borders on unrealistic and you can nitpick the hell out of that final prison scene, but overall the episode was good in itself, not sure about it being the third to last episode of the entire show though.

Rick should not return in this comic because there are only two episodes left This is not enough to cover upcoming events with the crm, and this will remove the mystery and surprise factor from the series. I think it's better if Rick returns in his series with Michonne because the next Rick and Michonne series will be an endgame for the walking dead because it will cover the last arc of the two main characters and open the way for the next spin-off series The most important of which will be Maggie and Negan series, and we know that the producers will adopt the style of duets in their future programs for the world of the walking dead, such as Daryl and Carol.

Just a terrible final season. This show lost all it's guts years ago. Lame, lackluster storytelling, massive plot holes, characters get to walk in the stupidest manners: need I mention Michonne's departure? Other than alpha and beta what major characters have been killed off? The show has taken a drastic turn from the comic and it's been bad. I feel this is going to end weakly and be disappointing. The whole motorcycle chase was ridiculous. It took Daryl two seconds to catch this guy! Really? Since Season 9 this show has gone doooooowwwwwnnnnnhhhhhiiiiillllllll. I'm sticking with it because I'm a fan, but only the new Star Treks have let me down worse.

The premise of episode 11.22 titled "Faith": Ezekiel and Negan plan a work camp revolt; Eugene stands trial with Yumiko as his defense attorney. Nicole Mirante-Matthews & Magali Lozano penned the script for 11.22 and they brought the writing back to how it should be, the dialogue felt natural and overall well written. The episode uses the big budget wisely, making it brilliant both technically and the acting and so on, the camera work are brilliant and visually a great episode, an overall impressive production. There's so many shots in this episode that are brilliantly shot, such a stunning looking episode, but that doesn't make a great episode.

Rose Troche directed "Faith" and being a guest director, she phenomenal job. Troche's vision and direction were truly great, bringing her skills and experience to a show that currently needs it. Her work on the episode are surely one of the highlights. The cinematography and the other departments, especially the makeup and special effects departments, were as always top notch. The attention to detail and all the shots in the nature, they nailed it on the camera side of things. The cinematography is once again breathtaking and incredible, just right for the show, the way it was shot and so on, simply brilliant. The sets were detailed and perfect, and so are the art and production design. I also found the effects to be fantastic in this episode, practical effects always makes it so more real, and The Walking Dead is known for their practical effects and they didn't let us down for this episode. Superb sound design and a musical score both gripping and dramatic. It's one of many things on the technical side of things that the show succeeds perfectly with.

The Commonwealth arc have had its ups and downs but I'll have to admit, I really liked this episode. I thought it was great. It's the final arc of the series like the source material it's based upon, though very different but most of the changes I can be behind. The plot moves forward nicely and the two separate storylines (Aaron and the others) are now one thanks to everyone is in Alexandria/Outpost 22. The trial in the Commonwealth happens simultaneously and it's suspenseful and full of tension, like the other storyline, the episode is full of suspension and tension. I even sat on the edge of my seat during the most suspenseful sequence in the episode, first time since Sebastian's death I didn't know what was going to happen. But I still think Angela Kang is playing things too safe, the unpredictability hasn't been there in the entire season. We see more of how fascist and how Commonwealth have evolved into a military-state, fully fleshed out. It's brilliant really, believable too. There were so many brilliant performances, my favorites being: Lauren Cohan as Maggie Greene, Khary Payton as Ezekiel, Melissa McBride as Carol Peletier, Eleanor Matsuura as Yumiko and Christian Serratos as Rosita Espinosa are some of my favorite performances. But I think Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Josh McDermitt has the best performances in the episode, as Negan and Eugene.

This episode kept the story going much more, in a great way. Luke is finally back. Episode 11.22 has most if not the whole cast in it, it feels like an old episode of The Walking Dead. I think this was one of the better episodes of Part C, but I'm tired of how safe they're playing it, all those spin offs which were announced hurt the show a lot, still hurting. Yet, the episode was full of suspension and tension, but almost no action which I liked. You see, The Walking Dead have never been about those big action sequences, it was mostly in season 8 that happened, TWD for me have always been a character driven drama and this episode succeeds with that idea. There's some superb drama in this episode, character interactions that keeps you engaged, you don't need action sequences in every episode (like the previous which had some of the worst) just write a solid episode like this one and you'll be good. It was so nice watching some quality drama. I won't get into details but how this episode ends, I can finally say that I'm actually interested in seeing how the final two episodes will turn out, it's looking bright for The Walking Dead.

While working at the railroad tracks, Negan and Kelly observe the behavior of the Warden and the guards and Magna prepares a map. Princess notes that the former trooper Tyler Davis is one of the prisoners and tells Ezekiel. Negan offers to work and extra shift to a soldier provided his pregnant wife rests and works less but another soldier hits him, and Annie is subdued trying to protect her husband. Aaron, Jerry, Lydia and Elijah stumble upon Luke and Jules in the woods, who are fleeing Oceanside. Luke tells them that the Commonwealth soldiers have taken Oceanside, and Aaron and the group do not understand since they have an agreement with them. Eugene's trial begins and Pamela tells the audience that Eugene had tampered the tape since that was not the voice of Sebastian. Negan and Ezekiel approaches to Tyler Davis at the messroom and invite him and his people to join the riot they are scheduling, but Davis declines the offer. The Warden summons Negan and asks him who is the leader of the group that has prepared the map he found, and Negan says that everybody hates him. The Warden assigns Negan to find who the leader is. Early in the morning, he gathers all the prisoners to watch Negan be killed by a firing squad. Meanwhile, Daryl's group breaks in Alexandria through the sewer.

"Faith" is another full of action episode of "The Walking Dead". Eugene's trial is a farce, and the testimony of Pamela is a big lie. The return of Luke and Jules after a long period increases Aaton's group and he is informed that something is wrong with Commonwealth. Negan's situation in the end of the episode on his knee begin to Annie is similar to the situation of Glenn and Maggie when he was the leader of the Saviors. The surprising attitude of Ezekiel is a great moment of the show. Mercer's attitude in the end of the show is also a surprising moment. The soldier Robert stopping the firing squad from killing the prisoner is also amazing. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Faith"

Another fast-paced episode which delivers a good deal of solid thrills and experience. The one downside to this is the court case, which just comes across as very vague and very rushed and not at all convincing. The script offers the most basic law-related terms and the idea of getting the public to come to Eugene's aid is a non-starter in the first place, so why dwell on it so much? The rest, more action-focused elements are better, particularly those involving the engaging Negan who continues to impress, and it's nice to see Ezekiel getting a little more screen time too. A shame others like Maggie are totally wasted.

If you're a long time fan you to will have suffered through the highs and lows of the Walking Dead to get this far I think this episode totally encapsulates what is best and what is the worst of this sometimes great sometimes not so much.

With limited air time left and the makers desperately trying to finish off all the story arcs of the original show they take time to pamper to the over bloated cast.

Take the utter nonsense of The court hearing with all its nodding non-speaking extras that in a world that is supposed to be on the brink of the abyss is just utter rubbish. Trying to make the Walking Dead's version of Perry Mason is an utter waste of the shows limited time.

What the viewer wants is the other side of this episode, the core cast struggling through to survive Cone what may It's what the show was in the beginning It's what the show is best at its what the makers should have stuck to all along

The cast should have been kept to its tight core cast With a new Big Bad every couple of seasons I fully understand the show had difficulties with its stars wanting to leave (and sometimes come back) but it has such compelling and complicated characters it could have survived without so much nonsense

With so few episodes it really is a shame for the hardcore viewer that has stuck by this show through think and thin to have the screen time frittered away on things that no one needed or wanted to see.

This episodes script was so all over the place it could only have been on purpose. The decision must have been made to go full b grade cheesy schlock.

From the ridiculousness of the court room, where apparently the authoritarian state of the commonwealth has a Judge Judy show that lets prisoners give anti establishment speeches to the attendees. Not sure why they didn't have it live streaming to people on their home tvs, why not eh?

Then our team of harden survivors held captive in a hard labour prison camp shifting a hilariously conspicuous pile of fresh dirt into a wheel barrow (we need them to be doing something while Negan and Ezekiel heart to heart so just dump a pile of dirt there).

Then the team in the woods hiding from the patrol behind there wagon pulled by a living horse??? "the fugitives we're looking for aren't there, all I can see is a horse and cart in the forest". Move on.

Then the team on a car with a spot light scanning for our team in the zombie hoard. Which they would have easily spotted cos make up decided not to put any blood and guts on their face this time, ewww ick etc.. It's like they don't even care any more.

Then all it took was one guard at a hard core prison camp where the officers take glee in tormenting the prisoners, to be disgruntled cos he and wasn't allowed to visit his sick brother (nice touch writing team, shades of covid lockdown, contemporary!), suddenly they're not all authoritarian pawns any more and the rebellion has started, and even better Eugene's speech hit it's mark and the guy who let his girlfriend got to a hard labor prison camp decides he wasn't that hard after all.

The thing is the actors deliver all of this with a straight face, like it's shakespeare or something. So either it's meant to be ridiculous, or these fine actors are in a prison cult, being forced to deliver terrible dialog and plot.

So if you're reading this fine actors who deserve so much better than this, blink twice if you being held captive and need to be rescued.

Aaron, Lydia, Elijah and Jerry encounter Luke and Jules who had managed to escape from the takeover of Oceanside. Hunted by the Commonwealth, the group cover themselves in walker guts to hide amongst a massive herd. However, Commonwealth soldiers begin leading the herd somewhere and it is shown to contain at least one variant walker who picks up Lydia's dropped knife. At the Commonwealth, Eugene stands trial for the murder of Sebastian with Yumiko using the trial to reach out to the working class, stirring unrest. Eugene is found guilty and sentenced to execution, but Mercer and several soldiers break him out, secretly defecting to the side of the revolution. In Alexandria, Ezekiel and Negan plot a rebellion against the sadistic Warden, trying without success to enlist Tyler Davis, now a fellow prisoner, to their cause. Using the sewers, Daryl, Connie, Carol and Maggie manage to sneak in and rescue Hershel, but Rosita's daughter remains missing. After the rebellion is discovered, Negan attempts to martyr himself before Ezekiel leads a number of prisoners in stepping to Negan and Annie's defense. Ezekiel is able to convince most of the soldiers to stand down and they turn on the Warden who is subdued by Daryl. With Alexandria retaken by its residents, the Warden defiantly refuses to tell Rosita where to find her daughter, so she feeds him to a walker in revenge.
