Who saw that coming?įortunately, the rest of the episode was actually pretty good. I still can't believe she's alive and well while Carl is six feet under. Enid did have a couple good things to say this episode-chastising the Oceansiders for their propensity to just shoot any strangers that show up rather than fighting against the bad guys and working with the good guys-but I still have no clue who Enid is as a character and why she matters.
Why does Enid suddenly care so much about Aaron and vice versa? They never had any sort of bond before this and now they're hugging each other and making one another promise to stay safe (a promise neither makes, by the way.)īriana Venskus as Beatrice, Katelyn Nacon as Enid, Ross Marquand as Aaron, Sydney Park as Cyndie Credit: AMCĪt this point I find both Enid and Aaron pretty extraneous characters, mostly taking up space (and precious airtime) rather than adding much to the story.
I also still can't stand Enid and the whole Enid/Aaron subplot is ridiculous. But it's nothing out of the ordinary for this show to mess around with timelines, and this one didn't do it in any particularly clever way to justify suddenly changing up the format. We see Rick and Michonne show up at the Garbage People's base first, then move on to Negan telling Simon to go there, then see Simon slaughter the lot of them.
Sure, they play around with the chronology a bit. Once again, The Walking Dead feels like it's trying to be artsy but it just feels tonally awkward instead. I don't mind that we moved from one group to the next like this at all, but I'm not sure why they felt the need to spell it out for us. Why open to the word MICHONNE and then do a bit with Michonne (Danai Gurira) and Rick (Andrew Lincoln) then move on to NEGAN but have a scene with Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Simon (Steven Ogg) then move on to ENID but have a scene with Enid (Katelyn Nacon) and Aaron (Ross Marquand) and so on and so forth? It felt a bit like The Walking Dead trying to be Pulp Fiction but for no real reason and to no great effect. For instance, I'm still unsure why it was chopped up into sections labeled for various characters. This week's episode of The Walking Dead was far from perfect.
