Its about time they gave the audience a break. Since the cliffhanger ending to season four, with the group of rag-tag survivors trapped in a train car by another faction of zombie-killers who may or may not have been cannibals (FYI they totally were, which was a weird relief), and the trailers promising more death and destruction than ever before. Then stuff sort of settled down after last weeks Four Walls And A Roof - relatively, anyway - and now for something completely different. Its time for a Beth solo episode! Remember Beth? Possibly not, since shes been absent from the show since the latter half of The Walking Deads last season, where she got spirited away in a black car with a white cross on. Her on again/off again love interest Darryl tried his best to keep up but, awesome though he is, hes not as fast as an automobile. He didnt even try and shoot it with his crossbow. So whilst Ricks group are in a sort of limbo - albeit a safe one, having dealt with the immediate Terminus threat - the gears were shifted for the fourth episode of season five to take a look at what Beths been up to this whole time. It was a mixed bag, both for her and the viewers: here are the six things that Slabtown did right, and four it really didnt.
