‘The Walking Dead’ Recap: ‘The Same Boat’ Asks Whether There Are Any Good Guys Left

Spoiler warning: Do not read on unless you’ve seen “The Walking Dead” Season 6, Episode 13, titled “The Same Boat.”

When a show has been on for a few seasons and established an emotional status quo among its characters, it earns the right to give us episodes like “The Same Boat,” an incisive chamber piece that serves as a compelling analogue to last week’s “Not Tomorrow Yet” in its surprisingly deep examination of moral relativism, ably penned by Angela Kang and directed with claustrophobic intensity by Billy Gierhart.

Instead of focusing on a larger group going up against the Saviors, as we saw in last week’s bombastic installment, “The Same Boat” gave us a chance to sit with Carol and Maggie as they argued the merits of their choices against an equally tight-knit posse of survivors — one that was arguably every bit as justified in their defensiveness as our group. »
