Loved the big fight with the Barons, got some nice wheelchair moves in there too. Widow stays winning. Digging the overhead shots during the fight and after Ryder took a blade to the chest. Wonder who is going to be Baron now that Ryder's dead. Quinn taking it back with his new team, or maybe Lydia or Jade?

Last night's episode felt a little underwhelming, like filler or something.
Also not too keen on the fighting this year and how they're shooting it. As others have mentioned, lots of slow-motion combined with way too many cuts. Still great choreography but I'm still waiting for that one wow-factor of a fight scene, closest for me is the bridge and the stairwell but neither are on the same level as some from last season.

Great episode really impressed with the pacing of this show. This episode in particular I really liked the costume design. I would rock that Ryder Barron outfit for a halloween party or NYCC for sure.

It just amazes me that TWD is still so popular it buffs the viewership of other
better
This is about where I'm at with it. If only there were more shows willing to invest so much in its action sequences.
Wow, took a hit without that Walking Dead lead in. I'm guessing they did the same thing last season with that drop from Episode 3 to Episode 4 which was even bigger. Not really worried right now though, Turn kept chugging with a lot less.

Decent episode, but was expecting more from the Barons fight. Too many fights to keep track of, too many quick cuts again. I don't know if they have a different fight choreographer this season or what, but they just don't feel as epic.
At least we got rid of Ryder.

I feel like they upped the gore to compensate the worse editing this season. So many weird cuts. Feels like they don't know what to do with MK either, he is basically retreading his (unfinished) arc with Tilda now, expect he got his dark self to fight against instead of Sunny/clippers. On the other hand, the pacing is so much better and I actually feel instigated by what the hell is everybody planning.
Happy that Ryder died, not happy that Nathaniel isn't a recurrent character.

Oh god. Thought spoilers would be marked in here. I guess Ryder dies...lol.
I just finished episode 3 of season 2. God, M'kay or however you spell his name, is still the worst character. How to write for M'kay: #1 Anything anyone ever asks, tells, or suggests M'kay do, have him do the opposite, or at minimum heavily question what they have told him. #2 Always follow #1
