***Spoilers***
Has anyone else felt like this has been the worst season so far?
So many characters acting irrationally and out of character just to put them in danger for the sake of continuing the plot. So many filler scenes with characters who we know will just be killed off within an episode or two, effectively just wasting time. I feel the writing and storytelling went from phenomenal to utter garbage lately.
Let's run into a crowd of zombies with a kid who's clearly unstable and then do nothing as he loses his fluff and gets him and his mom killed... For no good reason mind you (Side note: The scene goes from day to night over 5 minutes... wtf?!)
Let's invade a compound we know nothing about, get into a massive gunfight against tons of enemies we don't know, and literally walk out with no one as much as a scratch on them.
Need some extra suspense? Let's show Glenn get killed... but not really! We'll take 4 episodes to show you what happened though, so by the time you find out you're bored and don't care anymore.
Let's show Rick give a speech about how they need to buckle down and guard Alexandria, and then watch 6 MAIN CHARACTERS leave, just for the sake of leaving.
Let's watch Carol leave the compound so that she "has to kill less people." First thing she does on the road? Runs into people she has to kill... couldn't have seen that coming, Carol?
I'm just glad Better Call Saul and People vs OJ have been so good. Game of Thrones comes back in a few weeks, too. Oh well, hopefully there are better days (and writing) ahead for tWD.
