Put it this way, we know a sixth season is coming, so how this season is going to go down is fairly predictable. they'll trek all the way to Washington, run into some problems, then they won't have a cure for them and then S6 will be the aftermath. In reality the ending to the show is all the main characters dying. There's nowhere for the show to go, unless they end it happily, but they won't. From now until then, it's all pretty much painting by numbers, and I don't know why they're dragging out anything eventful happening.

The show is kind of set-up like this by design though. It's not really about the ending, and in many ways isn't even about the journey but rather the everyday struggle to survive. This set-up has its faults because it can feel like a lot of what the characters are doing is ultimately pointless, but at the same time, it makes sense for the show's environment and is why it is able to kill of main characters and keep going.

ALSO, it annoys me how Carol has easily had the least character development out of all the lead characters, but they play her out the most. We know she's vital to the group, she's always there and she always ends up saving everyone's asses, but that's it for her, it's so sad. She's not had a major storyline like anyone else, the writers have never went into her backstory all that much, she's never played a key part in anything that major in any of the series. She's my favourite, but I realise that she's snubbed by the writers big time. I just hope they don't kill her off. This series needs to be focused mostly on her. She needs her protagonist moment.

I couldn't disagree more, Carol's development has been absolutely stunning in my opinion, and she was integral to one of last seasons most intense storylines (with Izzy/Mika).
She's had the most character development, out of everyone. She went from a feeble timid housewife to a human killing zombie killing tough as nails woman. If that ain't character development I don't know what is!
