Gives me SOME hope, I guess? Especially as Gimple is no longer showrunner, though because he's been promoted apparently, rather than fired... but still, there's been a bit of a shake-up at the basic creative level which might lead to some good things.

Also... I say the acting was GENERALLY excellent... but, the close-up of Coral's face as he was being bitten was unintentionally hilarious for me. Like a daytime soap or something

YES It just had the perfect mixture. And yeah I completely agree, while I know this season is meant to be action packed, they certainly tried to fit too many stories into some stories. An example is episode 2 of this season - we saw Regina's outpost being attacked, Rick and Daryl attacking the office building, and Tara and Jesus' group attack the Satellite outpost And while these kinda action packed episodes are great, I do feel like we have too many and this episode managed to find just the right balance.
I agree though, if we get some more episodes like this The Walking Dead may have a chance of being objectively good again? But I can't get my hopes up

I must agree they're ridiculous but I do appreciate you can see him realise "oh ****". And Chandler's acting was superb in this episode despite the awkward faces he made at the start
