The Walking Dead Season 11 Review: 3 Ups & 7 Downs From "Out Of The Ashes"

6. DOWN: Yumiko's Reunion With Her Brother

The Walking Dead
AMC

If there was anything we didn't need from this episode - or, honestly, the show - it was a reunion between Yumiko and her estranged brother, Tommy.

As it turns out, Yumiko hasn't seen her brother since before the world ended, and lo and behold he just so happens to be at the Commonwealth, alive and well.

Though this development was teased in the premiere, the entire thing suffers from the episode's pacing issues, with Yumiko finding her brother without any trouble.

Worse still, because we've had no time to get invested in the drama, their reunion feels incredibly underwhelming, adding nothing to the show's story, and feeling oddly stilted for siblings miraculously crossing paths over a decade into the apocalypse. Meh.
