Thought is was a great episode.
Kind of a reboot episode for TWD, going in a whole new direction.
Over 17 million viewers watched too.
Some of my biggest nitpicks with the show are that they spend a lot of time fighting each other over scraps of the old world, but they don't spend much time at all trying to build a sustainable society in the new world. All the main characters except Herschel's family, being farmers, and Daryl, being a hunter, are completely unqualified to be in the new world. they have learned how to shoot, but they need to learn how to build things that help them get food, water, etc.
This season is a chance to break that. The Hilltop, Kingdom, and Alexandria are each less than the saviors, but together are probably bigger than them. But two of the groups are out of ammunition. Eugene, last season, found a machine shop where he can manufacture ammunition. So if he can develop ammunition, he can supply all the communities, and they can beat the Saviors. At the end of the season they can have a network of trading communities that are starting to make real progress. This is a more interesting plot line than the bad guys of the week, and will be a season worth watching.
