What I liked: - the compact terminus arc was truly excellent. Started great and ended even better. - I liked parts of the hospital arc (Beth v Dawn was really interesting) - I loved the on the road stuff with GREATM and the cinematic shots in those sections were phenomenal - Music, direction, lighting excellent as usual - Mostly good dialogue and a lot of great character dynamics came out of this season - So many characters peaked in this half season and next.
What I didn’t like: - Beth’s death. Had some really great development for it to be thrown away for shock. Really shitty death as well. - Didn’t mind the hospital arc but not great - Aside from the huge fuck up that happened at the end of episode 8, I don’t have many complaints - Some of Tyreese’s dialogue in episode 7 was atrocious. All of his chat about vibes and flowing with it seemed really weird
Favourite moment: - Eugene admits he’s not a scientist
Best scene: - the church scene (the termite slaughter)
Best dynamics:
- GREATM as a whole but specifically Eugene + Tara, Carol + Daryl
Favourite characters: - Beth (easily my favourite this half) Tara, Abraham, Rick, Glenn and Maggie
Least favourite characters - Officer Gorman
Top 3 Saddest deaths/scenes - Abraham’s hope, Beth (still tearing up at this death after a couple of rewatches), Bob
Top 3 actors/actresses in the season and the scene(s) they shined: - Seth Gilliam: all of his scenes in ‘Strangers’ and ‘Four Walls and A Roof’ and his terrified moments in ‘Coda’ - Emily Kinney: all of her scenes in ‘Slabtown’ (especially her ‘no one’s coming’ speech - Micheal Cudlitz - his various rants and speeches, all the scenes in his flashback sequence (Self Help), reacting to Eugene’s reveal
HM: Lauren Cohan (death of Beth), Norman Reedus (all of his scenes in Consumed and Beth’s death), Melissa McBride (all her scenes in consumed) and Sonequa Martin Green
Favourite episodes: - ‘No Sanctuary’, ‘Four Walls and A Roof’, ‘Self help’ and ‘Crossed’
Least favourite episodes: Slabtown (not as bad as some say)
Best bit of development: - Beth killing Gorman (the start of her small stint as a strong character)
Most wholesome moment: - Carol, Judith and Tyreese reunite with the group
Best quote: - ‘Can’t go back Bob’
Best speech: - Beth’s no one’s coming speech
Funniest line/moment: - Tainted Meat and most of Abraham’s lines including ‘Dolphin Smooth’
Coolest/most badass kill - Beth pushing Officer O’Donnell down the elevator shaft
