'Start To Finish'

"Spoilers through Season 6 of ‘The Walking Dead' follow.

Tonight's midseason finale of The Walking Dead felt like three-quarters of an episode. I don't know how else to put it. When the credits rolled, I blurted out "That was it?" I thought I was seeing things. Surely this isn't how it would end—not just a cliff-hanger, but very much in the middle of a scene, in the middle of a shot, in the middle of some dialogue.

And the midseason finale ended not with the word "Dad?" as my colleague Paul Tassi guessed, but with the word "Mom?"…"

The show has really slipped in quality this season. Between the Glenn silliness and the "Drop your guns" garbage it is well on the way towards water skies and a shark…

It's been the best and worst zombie show on TV since it debuted.

I'm looking forward to next year's arc – Negan!

Liked much about the episode – didn't care for the direction of the early scenes where virtually everyone fell down – I felt it was a lazy way to attempt to build tension – here's hoping Carol kills Morgan the idiot & that both of 'Porchdick's' kids die soon without getting anyone good killied

Mostly enjoyed the show this season. Except for the Glenn story line (they could have just had him come out of a shower and call the whole thing a dream).

I agree the "drop your gun" was class A dumb. The W should have shot them all just to show them the error of thier ways.

Liked this episode the best,S6 is turning out to be below average of the rest of the series. For seasoned (pun)! survivors they still blunder around.I can`t believe a martial artist like Morgan would have so much trouble in killing Carol…she deserves it!! He killed two wolves in the woods, young guys as well.One of many odd things that happen in S6

Plot trumps all, so silliness and inconsistencies are inevitable. That said, I like it more than most.

It was ok but quite a few things making me question the outcome. If your putting lead in headshots regularly the two woman should have had the confidence to drop Wolf in the spot. I don't see the entrails decoy working every time but if they were relatively safe why not just a couple try it to start a diversion to drive away the horde.All the same I'm hooked and can't wait to start again.
Not totally getting the 30 second Fear the Walking Dead episodes on the plane.

I think Carol is not dead!…

I'm sure they are both alive. The DM needed them out of the way for a few minutes.

A bit disappointing. The whole 'falling down' business has been done and over-done this season. In a life or death situation you can darn near break your leg and keep going as if nothing had happened. Adrenalin is a wonderful thing! I have experienced this first-hand in far less desperate situations.

And if Carol wanted to kill the wolf why in the word does she have her knife out instead of her gun? Just shoot the SOB and leave Morgan standing there like the idiot he is.

But I predict that in the next half-season we will see Abraham, Darrel and the girl arrive, jam the fuel truck's horn on, draw most of the walkers to it, and then blow them all to bits when Abraham fires his new RPG at the truck.

Uh. If he survives the encounter with Negan's crew. There was a 2 minute addendum put in the middle of the martial arts show after that provides a new scene with him and Daryl. Bye bye RPG … or so it appears.

Tango0102 Dec 2015 10:36 p.m. PST

If he fires the RPG in the middle of the "Motorcycle Formation" on the road… they blow up them to the sky!…

Carol cannot used her gun because of the noise which call the zombies inmediatly to the house.

What was going on with the rest of the people of Alexandria?

Nobody shoot a single zombie?…

And about the poor child calling her mom…she'll never find a better time to cross his face with a good slap!

He will blow up one, maybe. That whole 2 minute scene was almost as bad as the "drop your guns" scene.

How only one?… it's a shell… the splinters would kill/wounded mostly of them…

Clearly the RPG gets fired at somebody. It's the shotgun on the wall!

Twoball Cane04 Dec 2015 8:09 p.m. PST

I liked the Glenn gimmick because it got a lot of talking about it round here, and w my friends/ colleagues. Whether it is plausible …..

Not much would get me to stop watching the show…maybe if they resurrected the governor…..he was my fav character and I love that he's dead…..

Tango0104 Dec 2015 10:35 p.m. PST

Seems there are arround some guy worst than the Governor… (smile)

Yeah, I was thinking that, too. And the W should have killed all of them. These are, after all, the same folks who were chopping up random Alexandrians during their raid. They ain't the most peaceful or rational folks wandering the woods.
