Good points, and I enjoy the conversation too.

I get where you are coming from, and when it comes to the concept of surviving the post apocalyptic world, I don't disagree. But for a show, if they settle in and are relatively "safe", it gets boring. Part of the draw of the show is that nobody is safe, including the main characters. You HOPE they live each episode, but you just don't know. It isn't "how are they getting out of this one" it is "who is going to get out of this one". As soon as you think everyone is safe and they have a home where they can "become bored" (like it seemed was happening in the prison), the show loses its appeal, at least to me. The governor coming in with a tank and a couple hostages was probably the best thing that could happen to the show at the time.

I look forward to what happens next.. just not sure there will be enough closure before the 3 month break..

Really dislike the way they are doing one storyline per episode. The random flashbacks last night were very unimpressive.

I have to admit I almost wore out my DVR watching Carol get struck by the Family Truckster.

ChadTower:

This season feels like a game where you have 500 sidequests that don't mean anything to the overall storyline but you still have to complete them to get the experience necessary to survive later on. It's all busy work.

dkersten:
And they are dragging it out, which like I said before was what I didn't want to happen.. Unless next episode sees Abraham and his crew reuniting with Rick's guys, preparation for an assault on the hospital, and carol waking up just in time to fight their way out, it won't get resolved before the mid season break, and we will be waiting 3 months to find out what happened at the end.. And at the pace things have moved the past 4 weeks, I would be surprised if they stuff that many items into one episode and leave one full episode for the assault on the hospital.

Don't get me wrong, I see what they are doing here, setting up a new main story line, especially now that DC is a dead end, but it is dragging. I too was underwhelmed by the episode. If this were a book, I would be OK with it, but we only have so many episodes each season, so they don't have much room for "side quests"..
