Oh I think I figured out a big reason why I didn't like this ep as much as I should have

Compare the first scene of the entire show with the last so far. I think you'll notice some big differences. The series opener was extremely well put together, and made the Walkers creepy as fuck. I was on the edge of my seat for that

But the scene with the Walkers in the finale wasn't anything other than straightforward and simple, with cgi appearing partially cartoony. The difference in the awesomeness of the first Walker scene and second Walker scene is truly night and day
