The Walking Dead “The Same Boat” Episode Review & Discussion | 6×13

Summary

Our streak of episodes with a rating of 8+ has come to an end tonight. We had our thoughts of what might happen tonight based on our reading’s of the comic’s, but unfortunately (fortunately?) it didn’t take that route. This episode didn’t do much for pushing the plot forward. To sum up the episode in a few points: Carol & Maggie are captured. Carol has a panic attack, Maggie is interrogated by one person while Carol is in a room interrogated by another. They try to get you to show some sympathy for these saviors. Carol and Maggie bust out, killing all the saviors in the building. End of episode. We didn’t learn anything new, nobody learned anything this episode, with the exception of possibly Maggie – don’t put the baby at risk. Hoping for a rebound next week!

Discussion Question? Do you think Rick has become a “Bad Guy”?

The Good:
+ Carol& Chain-Smoking-Lady’s acting. I have never seen a more believable cough in my life
+ A look deeper into what’s going on in Carol’s mind
+ Nobody (good) had to die today

The Bad:
– Slow-moving episode
– Plot didn’t move forward
– Some very cliche moments
