The Walking Dead Season 8 Episode 5 The Big Scary You

The current season of The Walking Dead has been an exercise in frustration. Halfway through the first set of episodes, its defining characteristic has been how it’s utterly ignored one of the only two characters the show has promised to focus on. Save for a few minutes in the season premiere, big-bad boogeyman Negan has been completely off the radar, leaving audiences to impatiently wonder what’s been going on since we last saw him and Father Gabriel trapped in a trailer, surrounded by zombies. In “The Big Bad U” that drought finally comes to end, picking up the unlikely pair’s storyline, while also flipping the script to show the season-opening attack from the point of view of the Saviors.

It’s a refreshing change of pace, and not just because it shifts the focus away from the protagonists after three straight episodes. With Negan’s return, The Walking Dead has the opportunity to demonstrate that it can make its villain more than just a mustache-twirling cartoon. Pleasantly, the writers actually deliver, making for one of the best episodes the show has produced in quite some time.
