I suppose part of the problem is simply one of expectations. The handling of Maggie’s departure and return have been a big swing and a miss. When she sees Judith she just smiles and doesn’t say anything, like they’re afraid to write her any lines, or like the writers think that’s how adults greet children in real life or something. She shows up in the most serendipitous fashion. humdrum? Anticlimactic? Flat? She barely talks to anyone. I just came away feeling like this was more of an afterthought than some epic final showdown. There were some great moments like Gabriel’s last stand (and timely rescue by Maggie and her mysterious masked friend) but everything just zipped by and it ends up feeling like a less impressive battle than the battle for Hilltop and a less satisfying end to the Big Bad than Negan’s beheading of Alpha. I liked how our heroes drew off the horde with music-that whole scene was very funny, actually-and I enjoyed how they hunted the Whisperers and took out Beta. Second, this really should have been an extended episode given the stakes.No other major characters other than Beta shuffle off this mortal coil. Carol didn’t stop to save her from the horde and nobody cares. The only named character to die is that chick from Oceanside who, let’s face it, nobody cared about to begin with. Far from being doomed, our heroes come out of the finale stronger than ever. First off, the title is incredibly misleading.I have three big problems with “A Certain Doom.” MORE FROM FORBES 'The Walking Dead' Season 10 Finale Review: Was 'A Certain Doom' Worth The Wait?
