To me it was like they formed a check list of what they thought people didn't like. Oh they want Action! So Let's give them ACTION and DOUBLE IT. But... in their own unique way that only Gimple is capable of, they managed to completely fuck it up. I mean. My God, how do you make a shoot out fucking boring as shit? I have no fucking idea, but they did. And the plan overall was pretty clever. The people they shoot become zombies and kill off the rest... yet again... they somehow fucked that up and made it lame. The people want Bad Ass Morgan so let's give them BAD ASS Morgan and TRIPLE THAT to the point that "Clear" Morgan looks even tempered and sane. They kind of did the same on trying to 180 Carol as well, but King Ezekiel is so stupid with this quips and quotes that it doesn't matter, because his retardation hogs the screen.
And lol at having to suffer through yet ANOTHER "OMG THIS IS NOT US, WE DON'T KILL!" only to be grabbed by said prisoner and attacked and/or killed. And WTF at the return of a background character that was just window dressing during the first season? And he was going to Alabama, and somehow made his way to DC as well? Yeah ok. But I'm stupid and will keep watching because I've already put in 101 hours into this show, but I'm to the point of hate watching now, so I don't see lasting much longer than this season. (or at least when the all out war ends and Negan is defeated).
