--- WalkerMaimer's Review on "Slabtown" ---

"Maneater" - Hall & Oates --- Salutations Wikians,

We are now hitting the first month of the season, Last week was a good episode! Would this episode be better? We are going to find out. Today, I am gonna review Season 5's third episode, "Slabtown", written by Matt Negrete and Channing Powell and directed by Michael Satrazemis.

So without further adieu let's begin! ---

--- Recap: ---

Paths collide as Gareth and Rick faces off following by the savage massacre of the remaining residents of Terminus followed by the group reeling with sadness after Bob's death and the group splits in two in order for Eugene to find the cure in D.C. Daryl returns later that night with someone hiding among the bushes.

And so the story of survival continues.

--- Beth Greene and The Hospital Folks ---

Beth bores me to death (my dad is right), though her acting did improve since her last appearance. It did not reach the quota. She still gives that annoying vibe in every facial expression and grimaces. This episode, again, is supposedly for the main character but the spotlight is focused on that "slapping bitch" and Edwards. If you ever wonder why in this part of the review, Beth's is shorter.....read the first five words.

Beth and Howny Gorman lollipop tho. (Looks at Negrete)

Let's go with the hospital folks here. I say that Dawn Lerner and Steven Edwards are the stars of the episode but not enough to overthrew it's powerhouse predecessors off their pedestals. I think that it is superb to find a group of survivors living tense in a hospital setting though it is indeed amazing that a group of cops and civilians that are able to take it. I really love how they disposed the dead. Steven kinda gives me a part of Milty reborn. And Dawn's "Part of a System" dialogue is pretty much convincing more much of Joe and his "rules". And Atlanta, is very reminiscing. Overall, I can say that GMM is a very interesting plot location. And what's with Pneumothorax nowadays....it's the third freckin' show I've heard and seen it today?!

The directing is borderline disappointing. MS directed "The Grove" so I have hopes but sadly this has got to be the worst he did. I love how the city scape appears from time to time and I think the run of Beth and Noah in the courtyard scene is pretty cool but (tsk!) I didn't really feel anything good throughout, it did uplifted the episode a bit away from boringness but it ain't enough. Same goes to writing, Channing Powell, You are easily one of my favorite writers and more importantly I love "Internment" last season but this has got to be the worst thing you've ever done.

Carol is fine and that Noah kid is kinda pretty much ok.

I'll take the next episode next week to review it.

Thank you for GRANDMASTA in covering the master blog. I was busy with something important so my deepest gratitude to this admin. Anyways, my thought on the episode.....Obviously inferior than the first three. A boring episode focused on a character that isn't fitting to be on a new story arc that is interesting. There are tense and good moments but not enough to be a worthy TWD episode. I am in no way drunk or biased against Beth, want to have an honest, non-sugar coated review? Here you go. Though I am gonna give this a lenient score.
