It's not like we expected this to be great

Another disappointing episode. Probably the best episode of the season, but still not very good. Logic was completely absent, and as always there were very poor decisions in the writing, like somehow finding 10000 zombies to unleash on the military (and then letting them all get killed for no reason) just to rescue two people. All the characters are agonisingly bad at this point, aside from Strand. But even if Strand was more intriguing than any other character on the show, the insultingly bad writing held him and everything else back.

There were some good things about this episode though. The ending and Liza's death packed some emotional weight, although I never cared for her at all (it was more the effect it had on the other characters that mattered). For once there was some actual action and scenes with actual zombies (because for some reason the show usually lacks that...), which was fairly fun to watch. There was also a quite tense atmosphere throughout the episode, as they nailed the pacing right on - it was a much faster moving, and eventful episode than usual.

In the end this was a just about enjoyable finale, and certainly better than the previous five episodes, but that's not saying much.
