Personally for me the best part and most intense one was the scene with the revelation that Dama used to be some famous critic in New York before everything went to hell some cool interesting background information but it doesn't really change anything about her character or motivations, although I realy thought she was to slit Benjamin right on the spot before he could finish his story. Hershel meeting up with Dama again at the end just proves that Negan was right about not being able to trust him, which puts Maggie in an impossible position of having to choose between believing her son or accepting that he might be working against her, I'm sure she knows she cant trust him but she is in denial or think she fan somehow fix him instead of confronting him. The whole firefly story between Maggie and Hershel was supposed to be this touching mother son moment but it felt forced and didn't really add anything meaningful to their relationship, truth is that I was distracted at that moment and didn't even matter to me, it was while making this recap that I find out about it. Now Ginny getting a gun and planning to kill Negan is another subplot that looks unnecessary because lets face it another kid who got his parents killed by Negan has come back to put a bullet on his head? getting old I think, like they're just adding more drama for the sake of having drama instead of focusing on the main story that is suppose to be New Babylon against Dama but that story at the moment has been put in pause.
So far I'm not sure where this show is heading in terms of what to expect, I know its not a AAA tv series and at the moment there are two way better TWD spin off with Rick and Daryl having their own. The show needs to get their sht together because there were some good moments like the Tony reveal and the walker fighting concept, the overall execution still feels wack compared to what we got in season 1. I really thought Dama was going to get Benjamin killed during the Zombie fight after he is traveling in the trunk but the man of the episode was Tony who sadly got killed without saying a word during the entire episode, a really fucked up story that deserved more attention than it got. The series should also give more screen time to the entire political matters between factions at New York put them all together or start a some what civil war and have New Babylon pick up the pieces to gain power, divide and conquer. But the truth is that Perlie, Narvaez and every other from New Babylon still looks like loosers who has no clue where they standing at or what to do next but it does seem like they are going to make some progress just as Maggie did on Season 1 against the Croat. The show has potential but it needs to stop being so predictable and start taking some real risks with its characters and storylines, otherwise we are just going to keep getting more of the same mediocre content, entertaining to kill time but mediocre; that doesn't live up to the hype of original series, I could only give this episode a 7/10 while its getting murder at Rottentomatoes with a 48% by the Audience and 63% from critics, Seaons 1 got 80% from critics and 58% from the Audience signaling a watchable show but now it has to do something if not wouldnt be weird form AMC to cancel it, besides they got options with two other spin off still running with better numbers.
