The Walking Dead Season 5 Finale Extended to 90 Minutes

AMC's The Walking Dead will have a super-sized Season 5 finale, as the network has decided to increase the length of the episode to 90 minutes from the usual 60 minutes.

This should give the finale, which airs Sunday, March 29, plenty of time to wrap up the storylines for this season and set the table for Season 6.

In case you missed it, here is part of our review of the most recent episode, "The Distance."

"The moment Maggie and Sasha led Aaron into the barn, you knew the situation was going to go badly for him. Rick Grimes has pretty much lost the ability to trust anyone, especially those who say and do all the right things. As he pointed out to Michonne, every possible oasis or safe haven the group has found thus far has either fallen apart or been a ruse designed to lure people in and harm them. So when someone like Aaron comes along with a sanctuary that is too good to be true, then it probably is.

It's understandable, then, that Rick immediately tied Aaron up and refused to trust him. For all he knew, Aaron had people in the woods waiting to ambush them all. Except he didn't. Aaron had an answer for everything, and the group soon discovered that everything he said checked out. For once, they met a decent human being who was telling them the truth. He represented a safe zone in Alexandria, and his job was to recruit new members for the community.

Aaron was particularly impressed that the group had not turned on each other despite a lack of food and water. He recognized that they were good people and wanted to help them. And after taking the necessary precautions, the group decided to go with Aaron to Alexandria to at least check out the community.

Of course, this is The Walking Dead, so the road trip was interrupted by a horde of zombies. But after some twists and turns, the group arrived at the massive steel gates of Alexandria, and it appears to be everything Aaron had promised.

Now there would obviously be no show if this community turns out to be completely safe and Rick and the rest just spend their lives living happily ever after inside these walls. This is not to say that something sinister has to be going on at Alexandria as there was at Woodbury and Terminus, but something has to go wrong or else the show ends this season."
