A-
The title itself is a contradiction: water doesn't burn, it drowns; flames don't drown, they burn. It's this quandary that makes it appropriate for Jake's discussion about the importance of art in the apocalypse. Go to Full Review Caitlin PenzeyMoog AV Club Jun 26, 2017

The take-away from "Burning In Water, Drowning In Flame" is: Who knows? Go to Full Review Noetta Harjo Geek Girl Authority Apr 22, 2020
I do like what they are doing with Alycia. For the last two seasons, she hasn't dealt with how she feels about everything that has happened... So it's good that she is dealing with her own emotions. Go to Full Review Steve Ford TV Fanatic Jun 26, 2017
3/5
This installment wasn't without its share of interesting moments, revelations, and double crosses. Go to Full Review Erik Kain Forbes Jun 26, 2017
Yet another surprisingly good episode. Great dialogue, intense action, even romance this time around. I'm not sure what's going on, but it's like we're watching a whole new show. New and improved. Go to Full Review Liam Mathews TV Guide Jun 26, 2017
It was such a refreshing surprise to hear characters talk about art in "Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame." It served as a reminder that at least some of these people are human after all. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
