Remember: WD is based on a (so-called adult) comic book. I don’t read ACBs but my sense is they aren’t exactly Shakespeare. For some reason though, the WD writers want to lecture us like WD is a morality play. But that’s not why people watch it. They want Seinfeld. You know, A show about nothing. Albeit, in horror / action format, rather than comedic.
Sadly, the WDs terribly untalented writers think they have wisdom to impart. They don’t, beyond what Warriror said: given the opportunity, lots of people act like ****s. Oh really, what genius.
That the WD folks still believe they can convey deep meaning in a zombie environment means they really have no clue what the shows viewers want.
