In this review I am going to solely focus on the negatives as almost every other review has praised it with 10/10s. So at the moment this episode has a rating of 9.9? I honestly don't know how. In 5 points ill explain.
1- Daryl was taking around the back of the truck with the biker. At no point do anyone hear Daryl and the biker having a fight. I presume a fight as Daryl said "hes tougher than he looks", THEN hes able to walk around to the side of the truck with still no biker noticed and fire an RPG at them??? like an RPG isn't noticeable.
2- At the end of episode 8, the boy starts calling mam more than once. The zombies start to notice, episode ends. They seem to have completely ignored this as they are walking through the dead not being bothered, the kids not calling mam and no zombie noticing a thing? whats up with that? You cant end a mid-season finale on a scene and pretend it never happened! Mid season Finales are supposed to be a big deal!!
3- I don't care if its the eye, Carl has been shot in the face and survived! The reason this show will never surpass Game of Thrones for number 1 spot is there afraid to Kill off any main characters. I just knew he'd survive once he was shot! Also Glenn, Surrounded by zombies again with no hope.. oh wait Abraham and co spray machine guns into them all killing them (which should require head-shots) and not a single bullet hits Glenn.
4- Not sure how many, There couldn't of been more than 15 when Rick went crazy and decided to take on a herd. So 15 people against a herd that looks like it has 100+ and they defeat the herd without getting a single person killed or bit?.
5-In this fight against the herd, Eugene helps. A man that can barely shoot a gun, terrified of the dead, and more than likely his first time in combat against more than one zombie and he comes out untouched! Likewise, The priest who has never been in combat never-mind not even killing a walker going out when there's 100+.
Besides the annoying plot holes and so on i cant ignore, it had a good bit of action and cool scenes so it salvages a 6/10 overall rating. Hopefully I'm not the only one who thinks so.
P.s Carl being shot in the face was the only 10/10 in this episode.
