I just read a blog that lauded "Crossed" as more interesting because it included all of the groups rather than just one. First off, give me Daryl and Carol, or Rick, Michonne and Carl any episode and I'm set. Please spare me the army group and the Eugene storyline. It was boring even when we thought he had the cure. Glenn and Maggie have long since lost their apocalyptic edge.
Back to "Crossed." I'm most frustrated with it's complete betrayal of previous character development. Most noticeably:
1. Rick would have shot the third cop in the forehead because he tried to first shoot them with an automatic weapon and second tried to strangle Daryl. I've never shot a gun in my life and I would've shot that person. Don't try to kill Daryl. And that goes for you too producers.
2. The other detour from character development that has me concerned is Daryl. One, Daryl Dixon would not ever agree with the "love not war", weak-minded Tyreece. Especially when it involved saving Carol and Beth. Furthermore on the episode before this one there is no way little Noah holds back Daryl from running into the street to take out the two cops that hit Carol (who by the way had no drawn weapons). Please tell me, WD producers, you are not trying to make Daryl less powerful and popular because you plan to kill him. Maybe you haven't figured it out but you could make Daryl brain dead and people would still watch the show for his appearances. Kill him and you lose a lot of viewers.
3. Sasha. That was dumb. She's not dumb. That was dumb writing. If you are gonna insult viewers with that at least give us the satisfaction of watching her plummet out the window and landing squarely on Tyreece's head.
I don't like anything about how the hospital is supposedly powerful just because the people have guns and police uniforms. Rick and the gang have a crossbow, automatic weapons, ammo and do not forget, a machete with a red handle.
