One of the reasons the first five/six seasons of this show were great, was because of the fact that for the most part, most of the characters were generally in the same place, so it was easy to follow the character arcs and find a bond with them. However, of late, there just seems to be at least ten different story arcs going on at the same time, leading to a stop-start mesh of confusion.
For a TV Series, character development is the single most important thing, and yet there appears to have been none for the main characters, and some for the likes of Eugene and Dwight. In fact, some of the characters' development have seriously dwindled, as in with the likes of Darryl and Carol. Maggie's rise to leader of Hilltop has been very unconvincing for me.
This episode was all of the above. No real character development, constantly cycling through different scenes, and quite honestly the most meh character death of the show.
I kinda don't care if the protagonists win anymore. Negan is a good character and it's unfortunate he has to have turned up at a time when there were no other currently interesting characters. I don't know how the comics go, but clearly the show is failing in its desire to stick to the storyline, so just give Negan what he deserves and let him win. Rick becomes his loyal fighter. Maggie becomes his wife. And when Negan wants to torture a prisoner in future, he can have Darryl sing Easy Street over and over again.
