The Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 2 Watch Online

Remember The Walking Dead Season 5? Good times, right? Or... were they?

Let's Talk Episode 2: "Strangers"

Specifically, let's talk about watching it online. Back in the day, dodging spoilers was an Olympic sport. Now, it's all on streaming. How times have changed!

The Great Online Hunt

Finding a reliable stream was an adventure. Remember dial-up? Okay, maybe not for everyone. But the struggle was real.

You'd click a link. A million pop-ups assaulted your senses. Was this the one? Or just another virus waiting to happen?

Quality was a joke. Pixels everywhere! Watching on a phone screen the size of a postage stamp. We've come a long way, baby.

Unpopular Opinion Time

Here's where I might lose some of you. I didn't love "Strangers." Gasp!

Don't get me wrong, the show was good. But was it peak The Walking Dead? I'm not so sure. Things were starting to get... predictable.

The whole "new safe haven" thing felt familiar. Too familiar. Fool me once, shame on you... fool me like five times, well, that's just The Walking Dead.

Gabriel showing up? Suspicious from the get-go. The guy radiated "untrustworthy pastor" vibes. We all saw it coming.

Bob's Bad Luck

Poor Bob. Seriously, the guy couldn't catch a break. From Terminus to… well, you know.

His laugh was endearing. His optimism, admirable. But the universe clearly had other plans. Namely, cannibalism.

Gareth and his merry band of hunters were creepy. Utterly, completely, creepily effective. But did they overstay their welcome? Maybe a little.

The Beth Question

Beth's storyline felt... disconnected. Like she was on a completely different show. It was a bold move. But did it work?

Some loved it. Some hated it. I landed somewhere in the middle. It was interesting, at least.

But let’s be honest, waiting for her rescue became agonizing. Every episode, hoping for a reunion. The tension was palpable.

Rick's Ruthless Efficiency

Rick, on the other hand, was in full "don't mess with me" mode. He was a man of action. No time for niceties.

His "you're one of us now" speech to Gareth was chilling. A perfect blend of threat and promise. Andrew Lincoln absolutely nailed it.

The library scene was brutal. Efficient. Rick was done playing games. It was a stark reminder of who he'd become.

Overall Thoughts

“Strangers” was a solid episode. It moved the plot forward. It introduced new threats. But it didn't quite reach the heights of earlier seasons, in my humble (and possibly wrong) opinion.

Still, watching it online back then was a unique experience. A testament to our dedication. Even if we were battling buffering and malware.

So, did you love it? Hate it? Or just tolerate it while waiting for the next episode? Let me know! I'm ready for the hate mail… or maybe, just maybe, someone will agree with me.
