Really, Zack? B?

I LOVED this episode. One of the few times Walking Dead has made a talking-centric episode pretty enthralling.

AV Club is very generous to this show for some reason. I still hate-watch it, mostly because it's fun to laugh at and make fun of.

I keep saying AV Club grades this show on a curve. A B+ for this schlock is laughable. C+ is more like it. Acceptable, but nothing noteworthy.

It's pretty clear that The AV Club grades The Strain on a curve. B+? "legitimately thrilling hour of television?" …. OK

Rick couldn't have played that situation any worse. And what is up with his line to Jesse that he'd only do it for her. Not only does that run contrary to everything we know about Rick, but it doesn't even sound like the answer she wants. I'd imagine that she doesn't want him to do it out of pure feelings - of which…

Random Note: "Ton DC" … WashingTON DC … I'm disappointed in myself for not getting that until now…

Random comment…I can't believe this show has salvaged Murphy. I hated the kid with the passion of a thousand suns in season 1, but he's grown on me.

I really have no POV on the sexuality stuff, but I've started to tell EVERYONE who is as tired of TWD to shift their focus to The 100. A far superior show IMO

I loved it…but I kind of wish Bellamy died. Don't get me wrong. Bellamy is awesome. But it kind of undercut the methodical nature of the plan if - after all that - it came down to a spontaneous decision to explode the room in order to neutralize it.

All I'm gonna say is that Abby needs to come to grips with the fact that she is a doctor while Clarke is a legit leader.

I would've liked if Abby died. It would've added more weight to Clarke's decision. It wouldn't be the first time the show has killed major characters rather abruptly.

He was polite to it today. A B+ is generous, especially given the more negative tone of the review itself.

How is Tyreese's death the result of a death with when he

HEAR HEAR!

I'm amazed at the lack of progression in the show. You'd think that 2 years into the zombie apocalypse at least one person in the group would develop into a heartless prick who takes death for what it is: expected. Instead the show is just everyone moping around until the next death where they get a chance to mope so…

I love everything about this post.

Gus' dialogue is so bad it would be offensive if the show weren't produced by a prominent Mexican filmmaker. How the hell do lines like that get into a Mexican director's show. I know he's not actually directing this schlock, but still…

Pretty much

Agree to disagree then, because I also agree that it's really really really bad. I stuck it out for the rest of the season, but I can't see myself having the patience for a second.
