Whoever wrote this headline needs to be immediately fired. Hell, the article is terrible too, but holy shit. I expect better, AV Club.

That was amazing.

The two best episodes of the show are the pilot and "Clear" for the same reasons, and this was definitely a step in the right direction, but still felt sloppy. Maybe it's just Chandler Riggs.

Carl is the worst, and the rest of the episode ranged from mediocre to embarrassing with the exception of the fairly unsettling dream sequence and the somewhat effective final minutes. Can't wait for the inevitable 3-5 episode arc of improbably getting everyone in the same place, followed by the continued abandonment…

Agreed, Carl was completely insufferable in this ep and really made it drag.

Because this show is awful

Because HE ALWAYS WINS.
Because WAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
Because she was walking really, really, really, really slowly.

I liked the placement because I found Carl's dialog to be insufferable (Oh he's mad at his dad again, oh boy!), but agree that the opening tag should have been different. No need to see the prison again. Both The Governor and Herschel felt like pure fan service.

Yes, how dare a massive group of people put aside their differences and celebrate a silly sport together while you, king of the universe, have to wait a whole hour or two to watch some stupid sitcom. Blow it out your ass.

Yeah this show is the definition of terrible. I don't understand the love.

They're trying to make supersoldiers! David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are going to show up in the season finale! The entire show will become a rebooted version of The X-Files!

Yeah, I wouldn't grade any episode of this series so far above a C.

Catching up with this show right now because RDM and yeah, I have to agree. Doctor Husky McGruffWhisperer, Julia, and the 26 year old tremor doctor seem all incredibly stupid to be top-level CDC doctors. More than once over the course of each episode I've yelled at my screen because nothing they're doing makes sense.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO…

Can you leave forever soon? You're pretty insufferable.

IT'S ONE DUCK, HIS NAME IS JIM, AND PUBLISHERS ARE INTERESTED!

I agree, I didn't laugh out loud once this episode (although I smiled a bunch). It feels like they're still trying to figure out how to get the ball rolling. Hopefully more of the peripheral characters will have more to do soon.

I was wondering why that gun looked so familiar! Nice catch.

I loved Lana's little snort at the end when Archer is laughing about Woodhouse's phone. If there's any reason she's still hanging out with these people, that's got to be part of it.
