Ugh, you're right. Remember when Claire got "kidnapped" by Ethan? How long did it take for that to get resolved after she had amnesia? I'm pretty sure she had a flashback like 1 season later and it wasn't fully answered until the 3rd season.

I think they belong to the actress. Oh God, now I'm worried we might get a Stranger in a Strange Land backstory to it.

Your perception is not wrong, that's your interpretation but what I am seeing (and so are a lot of others) - this season isn't building up to "the protagonists may be the villains", I think it's playing on what they're shaping up to become as human beings in the apocalypse. I know that's very generic, but it's true, a…

Did you forget Patricia and Jimmy?

The horrible thing is - Gabriel will never die.

The show definitely isn't afraid to have a child shoot a man. In fact, they've done worse things since "years" ago.
Watch The Grove.

Carol better be alive by the end of the season. She's carrying the weight of this series.

Zack seems to hate every death on this show, yet he was complaining in season 2 about the lack of death. So the show can't win for him.

I think Tara's going to die in the next episode. There were 4 graves in the preview.

When was Sasha exiled? Did I miss a deleted scene? Because what I saw was Deanna giving her a box of ammo to go do her bell tower duty, not some departure scene.

I knew Zack would hate the gore. There's only so much of stuff like that he can take: see The Grove review. And I just don't get it. It's a zombie show adapting a nihilistic comic book (well up until a few years ago).

Maggie is hardly developed. She's the daughter of y and wife of x and also hot. That's about it.

I don't know about decisions. She's made some pretty damn good decisions unlike the rest of the group, a big one being Terminus. She wanted to avoid that in season 4, right? She said it was too good to be true. She was like the only character, but Maggie had to stubbornly push forward with her husband-rescue mission.

I loved Skyler.

*Minor spoilers from the comic*

This episode just solidified Sasha as a surviving long-term character though. Deanna gave her the role of the primary look-out. A lot happens with that.

I believe there's a woman too, Denise Cloyd.

Better written, better paced and better structured, regardless of how bad it can be sometimes.

Tbh, as much as I agreed that they need to add more to Sasha, he's only saying this because he's ignored Sasha for 2-3 seasons. He even said in a review in season 4 that she died, when it was Karen that died.
