The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live Review - 6 Ups & 4 Downs From "Gone"

10. Down: Its Ridiculous Mid-Episode Action Sequence

Leading into its messier final act, "Gone" features an action sequence so nonsensical and borderline hilarious that it makes The Walking Dead's aimless gunfights look like a scene from John Wick. Harsh, maybe, but several rewinds later and I can't think of many nice things to say about it.

After running afoul of the CRM, Michonne and her new companion Nat lurch, injured but determined, are intent on making their way to Alexandria, to make contact with Judith and regain themselves after becoming increasingly sure Rick is dead. 

En route, a CRM helicopter - the very same Rick was seen riding in during the closing minutes of the previous episode - flies overhead, and we're granted first-person insight into the chopper was shot down, reuniting Michonne and Rick. 

And here it is: Nat has made himself a make-shift rocket launcher that looks like an arm-mounted slingshot, ignited by a lighter, and somehow powerful enough to very easily shoot down a military chopper from a great distance. Nat has got some crazy aim! It brings the two episodes together, but my-oh-my is a laughable sight.
