《行尸走肉》第六季上半季季終集被評最爛的一集
在收視率方面，第八集可以說是前七集陪襯的結(jié)果，但在觀劇體驗方面，第八集就像是將完整的一集攔腰截斷后再呈現(xiàn)給觀眾。著名影評網(wǎng)站“爛番茄“給該集”start to finish“打出了29%的收視評價，成為該季評論最糟糕的一集。
導(dǎo)致該集成為眾矢之的部分原因可能是，在播出前劇迷們已經(jīng)看到羅恩拿了搶，狼人被關(guān)在地下室，亞歷山大安全區(qū)的圍墻也開始倒塌，所以對第八集抱有較高的期待值。結(jié)果出人意料的是，所有以上的事件都沒有任何的發(fā)展。
評論一致的認為該集完全沒有達到觀眾們預(yù)期，真的是無趣而又令人失望的一集。
評論的一致從側(cè)面證明該集是失敗的一集，腦殘的行動和四散的角色戲份讓整集一直都感覺卻了最后的收尾。坐在沙發(fā)上的觀眾整集像是被戲耍一般，前五分鐘我們心里還想著，”太好了，終于有大事發(fā)生了“。三分鐘過后覺得，”終于來了，來了“。又過了一分鐘我們吶喊，”現(xiàn)在就要發(fā)生了!“。結(jié)果就這樣結(jié)束了，許多關(guān)注心里留下疑問，”就是個這?“
第八集中卡羅爾和摩根為狼人的事而爭執(zhí)，觀眾心里總覺得他倆這是在干嘛，外面可是在發(fā)生大事。另外，摩根讓狼人活著，你有想過后果嗎?，F(xiàn)在可好了，狼人帶著槍和人質(zhì)跑了。
另一個問題是關(guān)于卡爾的眼睛，有劇迷們說電視劇可能是想賣個關(guān)子，不急于向大家播出來。好吧，那為啥在下半季的介紹中完全不提這件事，而是一味的強調(diào)尼根的登場。
對粉絲們來說，最讓人惱火的是第六季一直在制造的”懸念“，前三集劇情快速發(fā)展，結(jié)果后四集完全是放慢腳步，停下來討論格倫的命運何去何從。
第八集在觀劇體驗上的失敗直接反映了劇迷們對在敘事風(fēng)格上拖沓的美劇失去了原有的耐心。就拿該劇來說，第六季用了半季的時間才發(fā)現(xiàn)索菲亞在谷屋里，格倫過了將近四集才出來喘氣。所以說，觀眾們等了上半季之久，應(yīng)該有所回報吧。
Despite racking up the highest ratings of the season since it premiered on October 11, The Walking Dead's midseason finale has earned quite a bit criticism from both fans and critics, alike.
The episode, which seemed to be the payoff of a seven-episode build, cut off in what felt like the middle of scene, rather than a episode-concluding cliff hanger. As a result, Start to Finish has earned a 29% rating on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of this article's publishing - making it the worst reviewed episode of the series.
Part of the problem may have been the expectations going into the episode. The stakes appeared to be quite high with Ron having a gun, a Wolf being kept in hiding, and the Alexandria walls falling. However, none of it seemed to matter.
With 21 reviews accounted for, the "Critics Consensus," reads, "'Start to Finish' fails to live up to The Walking Dead's potential with a midseason finale that is both dull and frustrating."
It's tough to argue with the consensus there. Poor decision making and scattered characters made the episode feel like it was missing its last act. With five minutes left, we were sitting on our couches thinking, "Okay, something is going to happen," then three minutes, "Yup, here it comes. Here it comes." And one minute, "It's gotta happen, now!" When it ended, many viewers were left saying, "That's it?"
Carol and Morgan's fight over the Wolf was one of many moments picked on in the finale. Why have such a silly argument while there are bigger problems arising in the community? On top of that, it's just irresponsible to keep this guy alive. Now he's escaped, with guns and a hostage, because nobody wanted to pay proper attention to or subdue him.
Then, there was the big question of Carl getting shot in the eye. One could argue that The Walking Dead doesn't have to show all of its cards in such a hurry but then why skip ahead after the episode to foreshadow Negan's arrival in a "Prologue for the next chapter"?
Most of the frustration coming for fans in season six has been with the "suspense" the series is building. What started out as an insanely-paced, unpredictable season in its first three episodes stalled with a mystery surrounding the fate of Glenn.
The poor reviews and frustration from episode 608 is a direct reflection of the audience's diminishing patience for a series that loves to stretch mysteries out over several episodes. Don't forget, Sophia took half of a season to be found in the barn, so Glenn's fate only taking half of a half of a season was a step in the right direction.
