[last lines]
Father Gabriel Stokes: [Father Gabriel reads from the Bible at Beth's burial] We look at not what can be seen, but we look at what can not be seen. For what can be seen is temporary... but what cannot be seen is eternal. For we know the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hand, eternal in the heavens. In the heavens.
- Curiosità sui creditiDue to the events in the episode, the end credits have no music whatsoever - but there is no silence, either: we hear the sound of shoveling continue right till the end of the credits.

The first half of Season 5 ranged from good to outstanding from personal opinion, there were episodes that others didn't like but had a lot of fine merits still for me while acknowledging the flaws. Found the mid-season finale "Coda" a very well done episode, if expecting a little more. Was also expecting more, and even more so, from the mid-season premiere "What Happened and What's Going On", which was an interesting and emotional episode and is certainly memorable, albeit it is not hard at all to see why its reception from fans, despite its critical acclaim from critics (Chad Coleman, the direction and the script particularly) is so love and hate.
Some of the pacing has been criticised and can understand why, do think that parts were a little slow in a quite narratively slight episode and the hallucinations while striking confused a little.
On a story level a lot does compel on the whole but it is not without its contrived and silly spots with some not so smart decision making and basic out of character mistakes (don't usually have this problem). The zombie action in particular, a big offender being with the zombie and Tyreese which was uncharacteristically sloppy.
There is a lot however that is terrific. "What Happened and What's Going On", like all the episodes before it, is superbly made. It has gritty and audacious production design, visuals that are well crafted and have soul rather than being overused and abused and photography of almost cinematic quality. The music is haunting and affecting, without being intrusive.
There is a lot of thought provoking writing and emotion. There is subtle tension and emotional power, and when it comes to 'The Walking Dead', "What Happened and What's Going On" is one of the boldest, with the symbolism and parallels, and most interesting from a thematic standpoint, handled with a lot of depth. Also appreciated it approaching the characters from a psychological standpoint, which Never do expect non-stop action from the show, though there are thrills on that front here and it is uncompromising, because it excels even more at world immersion. "What Happened and What's Going On" excels very well in this respect. Standout scenes were the foreshadowing opening montage, which already makes things interesting, and a generally emotionally powerful ending with a shocking twist. The character in question's (trying to avoid too many spoilers) exit is poignant if on the rushed side.
"What Happened and What's Going On's" direction and the acting all round ranges from very good to outstanding. The standout of the latter being Chad Coleman, truly superb in his best acting to date. He commands the screen brilliantly and moved me to tears in the latter stages.
Summarising, a love or hate it episode, liked but with some reservations by me. 7/10 Bethany Cox
