The Walking Dead 5.3 Review - 5 Talking Points From "Four Walls And A Roof"

When Rick Grimes makes a promise, he keeps his word.

€œNightmares end. They shouldn€™t end who you are.€ After the first two episodes of The Walking Dead€™s fifth season, it became apparent that we were building to a long, drawn-out conflict between our central group of survivors and Gareth€™s band of merry maneaters, culminating in an epic showdown during the finale filled with violence and brutality, capping off the season Wrong. Instead, we got a resolution to the Terminus cannibal storyline after only one episode, and it€™s become apparent that the showrunners have placed a new emphasis on pacing, seeing to it that the famously plodding show is moving through plotlines at a frenetic pace. Now we€™ve been completely thrown for a loop and have far less of an idea what we in store for this season. And that€™s awesome. Since about 2/3 of the way through last season, The Walking Dead has had renewed sense vigor, displaying freshness where there was once frustration with the monotonous stalling. A show can only sustain its popularity solely on slaughtering the undead for so long, and we have to have to have some substance within that zombie meat. The character beats have been amplified and the pacing seems like an entirely different series. It€™s comforting to those fans who felt like TWD had been spinning its wheels. So let€™s take a look at 5 talking points from another excellent episode€
