Then it became really absurd and crappy with all this season, charcters that disappear and suddenly comeback, the kingdom with people dressed like knights (what a joke), and I agree that CAROL's character who was the strongest-important one has became a joke without a reasonable excuse, it's not credible at all that they made her sitting in that house alone full of food and not disturbed, absurd!

It's all so predictable. They are pandering to the fans instead of actually focusing on great story telling and writing that makes sense, in relation to the show.
You know damn well they broke off the group, had Carol become a non-killing saint so that in the season finale, they can bring everyone back together, an have Carol come in at the last minute and save the day with machine guns and explosives and ****ing Nuclear weapons, so that we can trend #InCarolWeTrust again.
The way they've handled this first part of the season is ATROCIOUS. First of all, they have introduced like 4 new communities and tons of new characters. I'm sorry but, I just CAN'T ****ing remember things that have happened and the fact that each episode only focuses on one plot and one story line is soooo over done and ridiculous at this point.
Then, we have this Neegan guy(who could have been THE greatest villain the show has ever seen) talk like he's a ****ing millennial or something. Carl kills a few of his men, he gets rewarded with dinner, chat and *****. Rosita almost literally kills Neegan, she gets a free pass. But that doctor guy tries to go with Neegan's plan and he kills him Oh and let's not forget the other woman, nurse whatever she was, who was the token chick to die because, hey, we can't kill off another main cast, regardless if it makes sense in relation to the story we are trying to tell.
And don't even get me started on Rick and his whole mentality. they could have easily fled, in the worst case, and search for a new home, instead of working under Neegan. After all he has done, there was no god damn why they would just stay his servants.
I have sooo many thoughts about this show and it's really frustrating because I am a huge fan. I am so invested in this show, i mean it's been 7 years. And I don't want to give up on it. But the writers are literally forcing me, as I can feel my IQ level getting lower and lower after each episode.
The MAIN problem of the show is that the writers are writing with the fans in mind. 'Let's not kill off Glenn, but have him be considered dead for the 5th time and then bring him back'. 'Let's have Daryl ride off on his bike so he can look cool and all the fans will be like 'YEEES DARYL',''. Like, there is a scene in the premiere of last season where Daryl is riding off on his bike and he literally looks in the camera and gives a 'strong' look. That was the moment I knew this show was becoming TRASH and I even commented about that scene here. If i wasn't bored, I would go back and find the comment. because I also said that the show would have a massive decline in quality, after that scene. And people were making fun of me.
