The Walking Dead “Knots Untie” Review & Discussion | Episode 6×11

Summary

This week’s episode followed up two very good episodes with another solid entry. First we got “Dad…” followed by “Jesus” followed by “Hilltop” in back-to-back-to-back episodes. That is a pretty solid trio in its own right. Pacing was solid, acting was great, and much of this episode was taken straight from the comics line-for-line. The episode didn’t waste time with introductions, the foundation was handled the right way, whereas in the past I would have to believe a whole episode would have been deadicated to introducing Hilltop. Another very good episode!

The Good:
+ The Message from Negan
+ Gregory was very well cast
+ Maggie’s handling of the politics
+ “It’s Cool” – Carl’s thoughts on Richonne
+ More Jesus
+ Abraham’s one-liners

The Bad:
– Not enough emphasis on Alexandria’s lack of supplies leading up to negotiations
– Abraham’s love triangle could handle slightly better direction
– Abraham would have never lost that fight in real life. He nearly was strangled to death, and likely would’ve been if not for Daryl.
