The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 16: The First Day of the Rest of Your Life

5 second plot: Complete SPOILER ahead! Dwight (Negan's top guy) convinces Rick and his crew that he wants to switch sides. Alexandria prepares to attack Negan on the next visit. But they get double crossed by the all-dressed-in-black-fuckers (I knew it!). Alexandria narrowly escapes the wrath of Negan thanks to the Kingdom and the Hilltop.

5 second review: Will this Negan nightmare never end? I guess not. It's a very emotional and tense episode. But the final battle is confusing and doesn't seem to add up. And as a final note on the season: it felt like every episode was produced by an entirely different crew. I'm not too fond of this 'let's try something different every episode' style.

IMDb score: 7,6/10

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 15: Something They Need

5 second plot: Tara tells Rick where he can find lots of guns. The gang tries to take the guns peacefully (sounds funny huh). Sasha is Negan's prisoner. He wants her to join him. She says 'yes' too easily so he doesn't buy it. Maggie needs to watch out for the leader of the Hilltop what's-his-name. He's bad news.

5 second review: Did I miss an episode where Tara was trying to decide what to do? She promised she wouldn't tell anyone about the hidden group. I didn't really know where they were going with it at first but I loved the Pirates-of-the-Caribbean-zombies. They were there to make us not hate Rick for stealing the guns from a weaker group. Because now he saved them ya know... Too bad the group-name 'Saviors' is already taken.

IMDb score: 7,8/10

Our score: 7/10

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 14: The Other Side

5 second plot: Sasha, Rosita and their big ass gun are going to try to take out Negan. The Saviors visit the Hilltop. They've come for the doctor, since Negan threw their last one in the stove.

5 second review: It's not easy to keep a TV series interesting for 7 seasons. This episode sure does make that clear. I was wondering why Sasha was mourning so hard, but now I remembered that she was with what's his name. The Saviors came for the doctor with 50 men (approx.). Why so many? That doesn't make sense. They wanted us to think they came looking for Daryl probably. Well, congrats, you fooled me.

IMDb score: 6,9/10
Our score: 5/10

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 13: Bury Me Here

5 second plot: Carol is homesick for Alexandria. The Saviors piss the King off. So I guess he will join the fight (surprise surprise). Morgan loses his shit.

5 second review: Everyone's acting like it's a surprise the Kingdom will join the fight. But we all knew it was going to happen. The Saviors were going to do something unforgivable so the King could change his mind. I just feel like the writers could have made it a bit more interesting. I think they are running out of juice.

IMDb score: 7,9/10
Our score: 6/10

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 12: Say Yes

5 second plot: Rick and Michonne are out camping. They are venturing far and away and eventually strike gold. They find the guns they need to give to the crazy all-in-black group who will help them take on the saviors. But apparently they'll need more guns. TARA KNOWS WHERE TO FIND MORE GUNS. Rosita is tired of waiting and is going to go for it. Maybe. Probably.

5 second review: If Michonne doesn't stop smiling I'm gonna stop watching. I'm sorry but I just can't take it. I seriously do NOT like the all-in-black team. They are too phoney, they look like they come from another universe. What was up with the fucked up CGI deer? Did anyone else see this? They couldn't get a real deer?

IMDb score: 7,3/10
Our score: 7/10

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 11: Hostiles and Calamities

5 second plot: Eugene gets a nice room in Negan's place and he even gets to show the wives a good time. Dwight is blamed for Daryl's escape, since his ex-wife is also missing.

5 second review: Not a lot happens in this episode. We get some more information about Negan's organisation. I could feel the seeds being planted for future adventures (and future side-switches). Comic book knowledge spoiler alert: in the comics Daryl and Dwight become Rick's top assets.

IMDb score: 8,8/10
Our score: 8/10

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 10: New Best Friends

5 second plot: Some of the warriors of the Kingdom are sick of being bullied by the Saviors. Daryl finds out that Carol is in the neighborhood. In the last seconds of the previous episode Rick and co were captured by an all-dressed-in-black-too-cool-for-school-team. He tries to convince them to join him in his fight against the Saviors.

5 second review: I don't like the new group Rick just found. It felt a bit like I was watching Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. It's too much of a coincidence to find a big group with bad asses who are willing to fight (and are expendable). All they want is lots of guns. And we already know where they are going to get them. Remember the forest women? Also too obvious. Wouldn't it be easier to stick to the comic-book storyline?

IMDb score: 8,7/10
Our score: 6/10

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 9: Rock in the Road

5 second plot: Rick tries to form an alliance with the Hilltop and the Kingdom to take on the Saviors together. He also tries to get a read on what they'll be up against and tries to arm up as much as possible. Not everything goes as planned. What did you expect?

5 second review: I like this. Meeting new people. Sizing up the enemy. Playing it smart. Also in this episode: maybe the coolest zombie-slashfest EVER.

IMDb score: 87,7/10
Our score: 9,5/10

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 8: Hearts Still Beating

5 second plot: Plans are made to kill Negan. And he's being such a nice guy: not killing Carl, making spaghetti, taking care of the guy that wants Rick out of the way,... Daryl manages to escape (thank you Jesus). Maggie tries to find her way in the Hilltop community. Michonne finds what she was looking for and returns home.

5 second review: Oh man, this is the mid-season finale. That means we have to wait for a couple of months to see how things turn out. I love the fact that it ends on a happy note for a change.

IMDb score: 9,4/10
Our score: 9,5/10

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 7: Sing Me a Song

5 second plot: Some of the Alexandrians are looking for supplies for Negan. Some of them are looking for ways to kill him. Carl takes out two of Negan's guys. Negan's response is not what you would expect. We also find out why some of Negan's people have got a scarred face.

5 second review: This episode is much better than the previous ones but lets not get overly carried away with the cool (long) monologues.

IMDb score: 8,4/10
Our score: 8,5/10

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 6: Swear

5 second plot: After two weeks of searching for food, Tara and Heath run into a whole lot of trouble and get separated. Tara ends up in a women-only hidden community. They're not too fond of strangers.

5 second review: Although the hidden community and their terrible history is a good addition to the ever expanding Walking Dead universe, it feels a bit like a drag to watch an entire episode centered around a (not so very interesting) side character. And I can already predict Rick's going to get his hands on this new community's guns to get back at Negan.

IMDb score: 6,7/10
Our score: 7/10

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 5: Go Getters

5 second plot: Maggie is still alive. Together with Sasha she tries to convince the asshole leader of the Hilltop, Gregory, to let them stay. The Hilltop gets a visit from the Saviors, who want to remind everyone who's the boss. Carl is up to something. He's going to try to kick Negan's butt, is my guess.

5 second review: This is an interesting episode. There's a lot going on and a lot to see. Their world is getting bigger and bigger. I think Carl is going to pull an awesome stunt. And I'm guessing Negan is going to love it.

IMDb score: 7,6/10
Our score: 9/10

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 4: Service

5 second plot: This episode is all about Negan paying a visit to Alexandria to come and get half of their shit. And all of their guns. Carl tries to make a stand but it's no use.

5 second review: An entire episode of dancing around (Negan in Rick's face the entire time, threatening everything with a heartbeat) is a little bit too much of the same.

IMDb score: 8,8/10
Our score: 6,5/10

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 3: The Cell

5 second plot: We get an introduction to The Sanctuary, where the Saviors live. This is a place where the strong have it good, and the weak do not. Daryl is a prisoner here. And Dwight and Negan are trying to break him. Because they know Daryl could be an asset.

5 second review: I like this new place. Not that I agree with the way Negan runs things, but it's refreshing to take a peek inside this rather big expansion of TWD universe.

IMDb score: 8,8/10
Our score: 9,5/10

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 2: The Well

5 second plot: Carol and Morgan find themselves in The Kingdom, where the sun always shines and everyone is always happy. The Kingdom is ruled by King Ezekiel. His best friend is big ass tiger.

5 second review: The tiger rules! That's all there is to say really.

IMDb score: 8,5/10
Our score: 9/10

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 1: The Day Will Come When You Won't Be

5 second plot: Negan gets a proper introduction. Our favorite zombie apocalypse survivors meet his precious Lucille: a barb wired baseball bat. And she's thirsty for blood.

5 second review: Be prepared. This is an extremely brutal episode. I never thought they would dare go this far and this explicit. It's awesome. I feel sorry for the actors though. The emotional shit they have to go through must be devastating. It's a shame that Negan can't swear the way he does in the comics. They can show the goriest gore, but he can't say 'fuck'. Go figure. 

IMDb score: not yet rated on posting date

The Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 16: Last Day on Earth (season finale)

5 second plot: Maggie is very sick. Rick wants to take her to the Hilltop (to the doctor). A bunch of friends volunteer to come along. But the Alexandrians managed to piss off the Saviors so bad, that they are playing a cat and mouse game with them on the road. And it's not looking good for Rick and co. Not good at all. These Saviors have got some serious numbers.

5 second review: I only liked two things about this episode. Morgan running into what seems to be warriors of the Kingdom. And the introduction of Negan. He's the man. I think they got him right. So if you add those two things up, I liked about 15 mts of this very long episode. What I especially did not like is the ridiculous cat and mouse game. It's ludicrous. I thought The Walking Dead didn't do ludicrous.

IMDb score: 5,7/10
Our score: 6,5/10

The Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 15: East

5 second plot: Carol leaves Alexandria. Daryl drives out in a hurry. Their friends go after them. And they all run into the saviors. And not everyone comes out of the fight on top this time.

5 second review: How many saviors are there? The Alexandrians already killed a lot of them. Jesus (no offense), stop killing humans and focus on them zombies instead. If my calculations are correct, the next episode is the season finale. I guess we'll see Negan then. That's gonna be a big one. I think a cliffhanger season ending is practically guaranteed.

IMDb score: 9/10
Our score: 8,5/10

The Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 14: Twice As Far

5 second plot: Things are settling down in Alexandria. Everyone is doing his/her daily routine. Eugene takes Abraham to a munitions factory. He wants to start producing ammo. Daryl and Rosita take the good doctor on a supply run to a pharmacy. Spoiler alert starting......... now. On their way back they run into a heavily armed group of men.

5 second review: There's just no getting around the fact that they are living in a shitty fucked up world. The zombies are not the main issue. Other humans are. You can just feel that it's coming: someone's going to die. And she goes out spectacularly: still talking with an arrow through her eyeball. Now that's a cool kill. Also this episode: some very cool zombies. Let's not forget to mention those nasty fuckers.

IMDb score: 9/10
Our score: 9/10

The Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 13: The Same Boat

5 second plot: This episode is all about Carol and Maggie. After the attack on the saviors' compound, they were taken prisoner. And now their lives are hanging by a thread.

5 second review: From time to time the story comes to an almost complete stop and focuses on one small event. This is one of those times. Instead of all out action, we get smaller scale fights. We also get a lot of drama (Carol seems to be losing her shit).

IMDb score: 9/10
