The Walking Dead season 6 finale: "Last Day on Earth" is the worst episode the show has ever done

The Walking Dead has done some dirt-stupid things over the years.

There was that two-parter from the governor's point of view in season four, and the way the show seemed to think viewers just loved Merle, Daryl's racist older brother, in season three. Season five's murder hospital was pretty dumb, and, of course, Herschel's farm was a disaster that nearly tanked the entire second season of the show.

But you know what? The show has never produced an installment as bad as its season six finale, "Last Day on Earth." The extra-long episode spent its first hour dramatizing all the excitement of your GPS insisting that you take a road you already know is closed, and the last half-hour sank some nicely spooky moments with a too-long monologue and a completely botched cliffhanger.
