    So we are on the second episode after the mid-season break and already a filler?

    Where’s the action filled sub-plot to run aside with Lydia’s story. Literally Magna and her gang being dumb as (after years of an apocalypse I call bull crap on the fact they’d leave a safe haven to save one person in the middle of the night with Whisperers about) is not action enough and we’ve got an action packed one next week.

    I really thought Angela (showrunner) was going to bust fillers in the bud as first half of the season was really strong but now we’ve introduced the Whisperers I feel we’re back to same old.

    That was the most bored I have been watching an episode since the all Morgan episode a couple years ago.

    I'm sorry but there was way too much focus on new characters for me to be interested. We had Daryl, a little bit of Tara and waaaaaaay too many newbies. The most interesting thing about the episode was learning why Carol kept her hair short all those years. And she wasn't even in the damn episode.

    I loved the flashback scenes from the original outbreak. FINALLY we got some of that. That wasn't action packed, but it was the emotion packed experience of confusion and break down that many of us have longed to see more of. I would have enjoyed a whole season of societal break down.

    Similarly, the introduction of Alpha wasn't action packed, but it was fantastic in the emotional impact. The show needs both.

    In my opinion, focusing on the new people is exactly what they need to be doing right now, and the correct course if action if the show is going to continue growing.

    Only if by rocked you meant sucked. I don't care about action packed or fillers or whatever, but I'm with the two opening posters here. I really don't enjoy my TV taking me for a dumbass. :)

    episode was ok. Was happy to get the background ahead of time on the new bad person instead of way too late like with Governor and Negan. BUT, saying all that....I miss the action, miss the shock of walkers coming out of nowhere attacking the group causing real suspense.

    we can only hope. But the ones who have read the comics know what is coming but with some different people.

    I've never read the books, so it's all unexpected for me.

    good. Btw, the TV show keeps having to change storylines from the comics due to those characters no longer being on the show.

    Having no preconceived notions is a definite plus in my enjoyment of the show, no question. Avoiding spoilers is the pain in the butt.
