The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live: The Last Time (2024)
Disappointment
Disappointment. Chaotic, weakest episode, stupid deaths, bad reunion, biggest plot armor of all episodes, wasted potential, cheesy lines, we jumped from good twd script to ftwd level. Aside from the fact that I missed not even a whole extra season, but at least an extra episode in CRM, because the first three episodes gave it a first act, but the fourth and fifth episodes stopped everything and the poor last episode had to quickly mill the second act and still finish the whole third. After the first four episodes, the finale promised to be brilliant, then the fifth episode pretended that this series had a minimum of seven episodes, and the sixth was a foregone conclusion. And then there's the playing on emotions with flashbacks.... I simultaneously know and don't know what happened.

I don't know what to think about this episode.
I don't know what to think about this episode. In the beginning, I was very excited about Gabriel's appearance, and in fact that was the most exciting moment for me. I liked this episode, but probably least of all. I guessed that this was going to be an episode focused on Jadis, and I have no problem with that happening and with the fact that Gabriel was only there (for the time being) to complement her character. I have two main problems with this episode. The first is that the two scenes where Jadis "almost had them" looked like a stretch, as if she subconsciously didn't want to kill them at all, and that's how I explain it to myself after her last speech, but otherwise it looks weird. My other problem with this episode is that I think there were two or three times when Andrew uttered his dialogue lines that I felt like something wasn't right there. And I don't know if it's a problem with me, with the script, or... and I don't believe what I'm writing... with Lincoln's acting, after the last episode he seemed to be in kind of worse shape here, or am I the only one with this feeling? The previous episode was weird, but in a good way. This one was good, but wierd in I don't know what sense, I don't know what to think... 8.6/10.
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live: What We (2024)
This is what we needed
Both Andrew Lincoln as Rick and Danai Gurira as Michonne stood on their heads to give us some of the best, if not their best acting of any episode of not only The Ones Who Live itself, but The Walking Dead as a whole.
This touching episode gave the main characters the depth that this series needed. For the first time in a long time, I don't care that an episode from the TWD universe had a slow pace, because they used it to their advantage.
I'm glad that the focus was only on Rick and Michonne, because in the end, it's about them. I'm glad that we're not trying to expand the universe by force here, giving the other characters "equal" opportunities relative to screen time. They don't get it, because they should appear only when they are necessary, as they are only background and complement the picture depicting a couple in love with each other, the heart of this universe.
My rating for the episode is actually 9/10, but I add +1 for the fact that this episode hits differently by the fact that Danai Gurira wrote it. She wrote, she directed, she played a role.... This episode was based on dialogue and you have to admit, Danai can write dialogue, oh she can.
And now... please let Jadis off the leash, let her catch them at any cost ;).

Jadis is the hero with not the best haircut and Rick is a bit right
Jadis is the hero with not the best haircut, Rick is a bit right XD. This scene was the best in the whole series so far and no one will change my opinion. Every scene with Jadis and Rick is brilliant. Nice that we are getting more answers. The slowest episode of all three that came out, but it's typical of TWD that the beginning and end shine and the middle has to do the dirty work of laying everything out and the pace of the action suffers a bit. Worst of the first three episodes, but better than any episode from all the other spinoffs, not counting the one about Daryl. That is, in short, the weakest so far, but the series is so good that even its weakest moments are still very good.
