Critics Consensus

"Splinter" doesn't move this season's story forward in any meaningful way, but Paola Lázaro's performance and some hallucinatory flourishes keep this character-focused installment from being wholly redundant.

We already knew she was in great need of psychotherapy and anxiety meds, but did we need an entire hour focusing on her unraveling mental state? Probably not.

For all intents and purposes, it's essentially a one-woman show, too. Sure, there's a couple other characters here, but this is the Princess show -- and it's a good one.

3/5

This intimate Princess close-up was moving enough to perhaps even win over zombie-splatter purists and those who find her quirks more annoying than endearing.

On its own, this one didn't accomplish much as the next time the story returns to Princess and co. it will essentially pick up where we should have followed their abduction.

4/5

Like a lot of the Season 10C episodes have been, "Splinter" is deeply character-focused. But it takes the concept to an extreme.

As a chance for the writers to deliver on a single character for 40 minutes (it's a shorter ep), the work is solid.
