I’ll admit that my interest in the show has waned over the past couple of years and I think it’s because it suffers from what so many other shows are suffering from: trying to drag a storyline out too long over the course of one season. If you’re going to have a Fall Finale AND a Spring Finale, why not just have those basically be two seasons-within-a-season and plot and write your stories accordingly.
I was expecting some type of emotional resonance to Carl’s passage, but I found it to be hollow and without feeling, which is pretty sad since, besides Andrew Lincoln, he was the longest running cast member (to my knowledge).
I’ll finish out this season, but unless they can rev things up a bit (and cut back on the commercials—-oy vey!), I may not return this autumn.
