It's weirdly ironic that this season has revolved around leading the walkers away from a pit assuming that one day they'd find a way out and mow down Alexandria, yet by trying to circumvent that Rick and Co. allowed just that to happen...and then the resolution was leading them to another "pit" in the middle of town.
I'm not critical of the show though, I love it to death (
). I agree with a poster above thinking along the lines that Glenn has made it through his nine lives. Lol, thought he was finally a goner. Hated seeing Jessie go but honestly, could we have dealt with her grief and angst after seeing her youngest get gobbled up? And Denise turned into a character I can actually enjoy, can somewhat say the same for Father Gabriel now.
Overall, loved it.
Thoughts on next one though (I apologize if someone has said this earlier but thinking about sifting through page after page felt daunting)...will we see a jump 6 months-ish into the future? I think this is important for several reasons:
1) Anything to explain/rush Carl's healing and hide his growth spurt would be helpful.
2) Easy way to get out of showing characters in the background cleaning up walkers for days.
3) Would give our characters a chance to shower. Lol
4) Would keep Negan contemplating the loss of several men for months, possibly making him more menacing when he makes his debut.
5) Would allow us to see a beefed up version of Alexandria. Walls extended further out, crops, basically prison 3.0 but hopefully they don't abandon this place, even as they face the Saviors and Negan.
