That was some horrifically-filmed action. It was just people running around aiming at things and shooting wildly. What happened to the action like in the outpost massacre or breaking out of Terminus?
Yeah, I feel like this has become an increasing problem over the last couple seasons, culminating in this horrible battle. They really had me for a second; the tension was high when Shiva attacked and Ezekiel starting yelling and I was hype as hell. But the whole thing deflated really quickly because the scene was shot and choreographed so terribly it's astounding that it made it into the season finale of such a huge show. Actors shooting guns with no recoil, characters are aimlessly shooting at nothing, standing out in the middle of a field without cover just firing wildly, and the camera does a horrible job of setting a scene and giving characters a set place on the battlefield. The camera focuses on bodies but doesn't show their faces so I'm not even sure if it's someone I'm supposed to know or not? There was never any clear indication of who was on which side with the way it was filmed. It was all just confusing and unfocused.
This show squanders so much potential, and it's not even down to budget or padding or forcing dumb decisions to forward the plot here. It's just purely down to lazy, poor execution of somebody behind the camera who should have planned this out. It's pretty sad.
I thought the main cast put out some great performances, and the Sasha send off was solid, but it ends up feeling like the Season 3 finale with how limp it all turned out.
How did a bunch of professionals let this pass?
