The Walking Dead - S5 • E11 Ratings & Reviews
TV Over Mind
Randy Dankievitch
"The Distance" treats these internal and external debates with care, slowly building to the moment where Rick's faith in the world is (momentarily) restored, one of the most effective climatic moments of the season.
Black Nerd Problems
Keith Reid-Cleveland
This week's episode doesn't quite make up for last week's slow pace, but it's a start. My main
ScreenCrush
Kevin Fitzpatrick
It seems The Walking Dead has at last gotten back to asking the right questions, rather than spouting insoluble platitudes about coping with tragedy, and "The Distance" very much gets its message across.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Rebecca Hawkes
Perhaps the most interesting thing about this episode was its implication that both Aaron and his offer were genuine.
CraveOnline
Blair Marnell
On the whole, I wasn't that impressed with this episode... although Rick killing the Walker with a flare gun was a really fun moment.
TV Fanatic
Sean McKenna
The introduction of Aaron at the very end was exciting. Seeing him oddly clean and calmly asking to speak with Rick felt like the potential for the story to shift gears, to change directions towards something new and exciting.

The Walking Dead isn't quite off the hook after "The Distance," but I'd bet anyone a dollar that it was the best of the three episodes we've seen in Season 5B so far.
Los Angeles Times
Patrick Kevin Day
"The Distance" was a distinct step up in pacing and drama from last week's languid episode of The Walking Dead and went a long way toward moving the series toward what could potentially be its new status quo.
Oregonian
Kristi Turnquist
Though there were some terrifying moments in "The Distance" -- especially a nighttime attack by walkers that was the stuff of a full-on horror movie -- at times, the storytelling felt a little confusing to me.
HitFix
Alan Sepinwall
This was a superior episode all around from the last two, and I'm curious to at least see the start of everyone's time in Alexandria, even if it's safe to assume the end will be a bad one.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
In terms of non-walker-related intrigue, "The Distance" successfully uses Michonne's hopefulness as a potent counter to Rick's willful suspicion.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
Despite the fact that, like last week, everyone was in this episode, there was much more of a focused story here.
Grantland
Ben Lindbergh
In "The Distance," the sunrise that greets Aaron's arrival really does seem to mark a new day for The Walking Dead -- the dawn before which last week's depressing slog was darkest.
Guardian
Brian Moylan
While I understand Rick's caution and scepticism, he's also beginning to come off a little bit like a madman.
Entertainment Weekly
Kat Rosenfield
Aaron, like his biblical namesake, is a hardcore spokesman. Seriously: If this guy turned up on late night television selling a slap-chop, I would buy 10 of them.
Cleveland Plain Dealer
Troy L. Smith
When it comes to Season 5 of The Walking Dead, Rick Grimes is no longer messing around.
Paste Magazine
Josh Jackson
The TV show needs the stakes to be high, but fortunately a quickly moving plot is right in the wheelhouse of comic books.
Observer
Noam Cohen
It's too morally tentative to make a story like this one come into sharp focus
The Young Folks
Aaron Neuwirth
Easing the breaks on the bleakness seen in the past few episodes, "The Distance" has the luxury of being the start of something new for our heroes.
AV Club
Zack Handlen
After the bleakness of the past few weeks, The Walking Dead's writers know when it's time to start wrangling with the horrible possibilities of hope.
