Featured review
A BLADE WITHOUT ANY EDGE
Most of this episode is filled up as a straight soap opera, you shouldn't expect too much! We have Dwight acting out of character by giving up not only to Virginias' group but also his wedding rings too, wtf was that? Dwight isn't just a random survivor; he survived the horrors of a tyrant! He literally lost almost everything because of joining Negans' group and he knows more than anyone what a life under tyranny is. Dwight should have known better and have deeper insightful thoughts about this situation.
Morgy also knows how that works, because he fought the Saviors! But instead of preventing this situation from happening, he gave a green light to surrender, because in the very first place they didn't have the coj*nes to deal with the zombies from the theme park and instead of making that place livable again, they had to call Virginia for help, pathetic! Furthermore, for some reason, all the Morganites dealt with the situation with a season one amateur mentality, they didn't even remember the several options that there are available for dealing with a horde of trapped zombies (zombies that can't even run btw).
The Cult Morganites gave excuses after excuses before surrendering. First, it was because there were around 250 zombies trapped inside the theme park, but... (OH, SURPRISE!) after a little while, they cleared the theme park! (I guess writers are so focused on writing a soap opera that they forgot that their characters are in the middle of a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, DUUUH!)
What's next? They needed water? Well, there were AT LEAST TWO river streams (one of them with ABUNDANT water) nearby of them and let's not forget they never showed us how they were able to recover Toms' recordings from the river they passed in order to get to Humbugs Gulch. They needed food? Its laughable how is it possible that at this point in time in the Z. A., a group of forty people still doesn't know the means to get their own food in a sustainable way, without depending on canned food or someone else to provide for them.
They gave all those excuses before giving up to Virginia! It looks like they actually WANTED to be under Virginias thumb to provide for them.
And what happened to Strands' negotiation skills? What happened to that character that once was a negotiator? He didn't even try to negotiate; he was the first one to give up. What about Daniel? Well, he is another neutered character... he didn't propose anything productive for this situation; the only way in which he's useful now is for singing Kumbaya along with backstab Charly.
Suddenly, there's a group of horses appearing out of nowhere with their saddles and stuff still hatched on them!!! Giving the Morganites hope. However, finding horses is one thing, but knowing how to properly ride a horse is another totally different thing... But I guess that's a piece of cake for them, since they can fly planes and beer-bottle-shaped hot-air balloons from the get-go, they even fixed a plane without any aerospace engineering background, all they needed was to read The Little Prince, ROFLMAO!
The showrunners and writers of this show are delusional, there's even a freaking wedding out of nowhere, because why not, right!?! Hahaha! Oh, and btw, of course Alicia is painting stuff and Althea is documenting everything she can!
CONCLUSION: I'm not going to spoil a certain scene in which a pistol is involved, but all in all, I think that's a perfect metaphor for the last two seasons in general; blades without any edge, pistols that shots confetti and zombies that are ornamental. Overall, season five was pointless and redundant, saturated with asinine conversations and empty speeches, with situations that were not only predictable and boring but idiotic as well, characters acting out of character, zombies that are just like flowers, ridiculously absurd antagonists, etc. A rotten season to the core! The last acceptable season was the third one.
