Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
After seven seasons, I can't fault The Walking Dead for trying something different. A show like this, that deals with a lot of "sameness," almost has to. But the change up, here in Season 8, comes via structure not themes or story. Stretching out this one meticulous assault over several episodes (what are we thinking here, four? Five? All the way to the midseason finale?) offers viewers a new way to process things, but it doesn't mean we're not retreading over well-worn territory. There's still a stillness, an inertness, to the the story right now and changing the format and visuals isn't going to fix it.
Starting things off here though on a more positive note: I really dug the Morales twist right at the end. In fact, some of the best elements of "The Damned" involved how much it actually strayed from the comics. Last week's opening shot across the bow more or less synced up pretty well with the "All Out War" arc from the comics (and the Sasha twist from Season 7's finale is kind of from that story too). The return of Morales is "all show," and it fits in nicely with this season's running tribute to first episodes.
