Episode after episode I think, "Is it me, or has this show really really gone south?" I have to pinch myself to realize I am watching the same Walking Dead I grew to love and not dreaming (more like a nightmare).
The remaining characters I care for, of whom there are few, do not seem to be the same people as in prior seasons. Their behavior is nonsensical at best. What in the world was Rick up to? Wassup with de Lion King? Man is that character unbelievable. Maybe a pet weasel or ferret would help. Darryl seems to have morphed into a lunatic version of his brother. Carol cries nice. That's about the extent of that character's depth.
How about one new character HALF as interesting as Shane, Tyrese, Bob, Hershel, The Governor, Merle, Glenn, Beth (even Beth) and on and on it goes. The "star" Negan is cartoonish (pun intended).
My 7 score was actually too high. I always try to offset the nitwits who rate episodes 1, 2 or 3.
