The loss of so many main characters seems to have left the writers spinning their wheels, although they really have been in a rut for quite a while now. -- AlThis show just doesn't have it no more.Too many main characters leaving the show around the same time.

A meh episode. My take on the show.
There are few, if any, truly likeable characters left. No one has much charm, except maybe Negan, for *’$#@$ sake!
Henry, I’d enjoy seeing him eaten alive, all the while protesting as if he knows better. What a clueless dullard.
The sour Daryl never comes out of his angry funk. His grouchiness used to be endearing. Now it’s just tiresome.
Carol has gone from grim reaper / doomsayer / loner to glib comedic people pleaser optimist because.... I have no idea.
Judith has the supreme confidence of a Barnum and Bailey ringmaster. I don’t buy it for one second, completely contrived and silly.
Eugene’s weird way of speaking is no longer amusing or entertaining.
Alpha is just another (in a never ending series of) baddy who commits various atrocities — until she no doubt eventually gets her due at the hands of someone we’re supposed to be rooting for. Yawn.
The rest feel like Star Trek red shirt extras, just biding their time until their death can serve as shock value. How uncreative.

I completely agree. The medieval direction of the show is also somewhat bizarre. It's becoming Robin Hood of the Dead. I still watch though. My biggest beef is that there is no apparent curiosity about the dead or what went on to get them into this mess. No military or governmental presence as though they had been wiped from the earth while a bunch of yahoos survived by pretending to walk like zombies. That scene of the Alpha and her group walking in a lumbering fashion was laughable. Particularly when the girl had no "skin." I know the zombies are not bright but that was too much.
Yep. And who couldn't have predicted that the fall down the elevator shaft wouldn't finish off Super-Whisperer? I didn't get the whole hide in the high-rise thing either. The good guys were out and gone, why wait for the bad guys to catch up? I've said it before, the gang needs to hit the road, visit new places, meet new people, while searching for the illusive cure. Tired to death of Alexandria, Hilltop, the Kingdom...hit the road in a cloud of dust... -- AlAnother fluff episode this week. I may have zoned out but couldn't figure why Daryl and company decided to box themselves in a building and allow their pursuers to catch up with them. More action this year but not much progress in the plot. Tired of the "fair" and "movie". Henry is a dud. Show is in a rut.
That's the answer! Jumping Bean Zombies! Now that would be an interesting twist on the zombie threat, which is now basically no threat at all.:wink2::rolleyes2: -- AlFor the first time, I started to think during that last episode that this show is on its last legs. The ratings probably keep it going for another couple of seasons but the sand is clearly running out. They had a chance to reboot the show this year with Rick's demise but it has reverted to the same tired themes. The senseless confrontation in that building was like something out of the final season of the original Lost of Space series when they started bringing out the monsters in rubber suits that had been left over from other productions. Tired and lazy. Burning air time because they are out of ideas. Jumping the zombie.
