This episode was such a mixed bag of good and bad I don't know how to feel about it. In general Im kinda disappointed considering how great episodes 13-15 were. Pretty much nothing unpredictable happened here. There were no major deaths (only VERY minor characters) despite the episode seemingly foreshadow a big death early on.
The action was great in some parts and really strange in some parts and straight up bad and janky in other parts. We got to see a little bit of everyone, all of Negan, Aaron, Gabriel and Maggies scenes were great for the most part but the death scene of one particular character seemed really lackluster, even for a minor character. Overall, as a mid-season finale of THE FINAL SEASON I expected so much more out of this episode. I think the announcement of the spin-offs really takes some exciting momentum away from the final season that we felt going into it.
So on the whole, a pretty average episode from The Walking Dead. Not great, not terrible, just okay. Doesnt exactly leave me with much excitement going into the last 8 episodes.
