Did you watch?
For a show on a non premium cable channel, I thought it was very good. I never read the comic, so I don't know how it compares, but I'll be watching every Sunday. pisses me off that I don't get AMC in HD though.

As for the water, yeah, it definitely wasn't fatal, but it did look like it was ripping decomposed muscle from bone, which could leave them all as debilitated as Bicycle Girl from season 1?
But not these people. They mostly walk and never pass a damned thing. Unless of course, it's a prison, a slaughterhouse, or a little wooden church in the middle of nowhere.
They should have picked Florida for the filming of this series. You can get on I10 between Tallahassee and the Alabama state line and there really is nothing.
Only the black ones.

Come to think of it, did we even see a mall or strip plaza in any of the seasons? Not a michaels, or WM, not even a red bullseye??

Even better question, they're 2yrs or so into a zombie apocalypse, so how in the hell are they still finding vehicles with enough battery power to start the engine? If I go a couple weeks without cranking a car and I have to charge the battery.

as for this specific episode: i also have my doubts about the ability of a long-dormant and non-running fire truck to spray high-pressure water, but hey, Walking Dead world. at least they took great pains to show the flesh of the zombies sloughing off when hit by the stream, including heads opening up, so it wasn't a complete logistical mess. however, the initial walker fight after the bus crash was a little maddening in that there were several "kill shots" where knives went in under the mouth and extended into it, maybe into the nasal cavity a bit, but never touched even frontal lobe, much less brain stem. this isn't new, but it seemed there were more in a short time than previous episodes.
i didn't want to see the last flame of hope die in Abraham and some of the others, but it had become fairly apparent that Eugene wasn't the person he led them to believe. the awkward introvert interactions, flat voice, and lengthy-for-Georgia words might convince those who are desperately searching for a reason to go on, but looking in from the outside, his complete lack of specifics and uber-cowardly ways belied someone just looking to keep his skin intact. i was going to feel sorry for Abraham anyway when the reveal happened, but after the flashbacks in this episode and his reaction to the walker-filled town, i'm now fairly worried as well. if this weren't a show, i'd put even money on him killing himself or slaughtering everyone but Rosita and starting over. as it is, my bet is on him going back with the rest of the group haunted by the fact the last punch and fall killed Eugene.
i'd say Glenn is a better man than me, but i'm not sure if agreeing with an illogical leader and putting the group in more danger is something to be admired. i happened to be watching with someone else this week, and we were both very frustrated with Abraham through the majority of the show. i get his stereotypical "the mission comes before all of us" mentality, but past a certain point, the number of tactical blunders can't be ignored. i admire the group's forgiveness to a point, but not turning back for the church after the bus crash ranks pretty high on the "you're going to regret this pretty soon" scale, as did leaving the very agreeable book store.
this wasn't technically a bottle episode, but it sure felt like it: no matter their location, the characters were having the same conversations and dealing with the same specific conflicts/issues (and doing it badly). we got short reprieves in the forms of Tara giving Eugene a pep talk, Glenn and Maggie having an intimate conversation, and Abraham banging Rosita, but the road always led back to Abraham's borderline-mad obsession with making good time and Eugene's unraveling tale. i actually found this episode less interesting than last week's, which from a setting standpoint, was much more limited. i felt like all the themes and interactions in this week's could have been done in half the time and given us some of that sweet, sweet nectar that will be Daryl and Carol busting Beth out of the hospital.

I still don't know why the Smoke Monster made mechanical sounds
