Is it me or was the most recent episode excruciatingly slow?
That long monologue of Morgan’s is the first time the writers have seriously dropped the ball. I hope it’s’ the last.
If you watched from the beginning, the most recent episode is fully in the tradition of using the zombie apocalypse as the muse of human nature. It also sported the killer combo of the holy **** moment, and stands with S01E06, S02E06 and S02E12 as among the best of the show, IMO.
Yep, and a few before that too.
Way to much yakking, blah blah and feeeeelings, bah, and not enough zombie action. Napalm and stuff!
Well, it was slowER, in comparison to, say, the ending of the episode where the Governor attacked the prison. But I don't watch the show for nonstop zombie action. One of the things that makes the show special is the great character development, and it takes time, and a slower pace, to do that. Otherwise WD would be just another horror piece with cardboard, depthless characters.
A lot of viewers wanted to know what happened with Morgan, and I think it was appropriate to take an hour to show that. I found this video on the AMC website in which the actor, Lennie James, implies we might see the character again at some point. And he's another Brit!
