TWD wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. I guess cause I was expecting an all-out hospital raid. At least now the hospital arch is done, it wasn't exactly their strongest plotline. Kind of wish that one doctor joined them since he was kind of cool. Granted the hospital needs him, I just don't like it when they introduce several new characters and use them for two episodes, then never use them again and leave their fates open-ended.

Poor Maggie, the second she learned she had a sister she died. The confontation with that one cop that Beth pushed down the elevator came out of nowhere. Dawn's behavior in general came out of nowhere. Rick running over that one guy was cool, kind of reminded me of a scene in the comic where he runs over Martinez with the RV. Very similar situation. Seeing Morgan again is always good.

All of that aside, overall this half season has just been okay. Granted, it had a great start, the first three episodes were amazing. But from Episode 4 and onward, it went from being really good, to just okay. Some things worked, a lot of things didn't.

I've been noticing a pattern with these half seasons, each full season has one good half and one not so great half. Season 2 had a bad first half, good second half. Season 3 had a great first half, and meh second half. Season 4 had an alright first half, and good second half. So if they follow this pattern, Season 5's first half being okay probably means the second half will be better. That's obviously not how this works, but it's always fun to think about things like that.
