I was a huge “The Walking Dead” fan. I love Frank Darabont and his work. I even bought the black and white First Season commemorative blu-ray.
I used to watch TWD and the Talking Dead. I didn’t even watch it on DVR, my wife and I made sure we watched it live, every Sunday.
However, I noticed the series begin to lose direction. After the Governor story arc, the walk on the train track to Terminus was great. I loved the idea of them being on the run. In the woods. Zombies were the biggest threat again. They were broken into groups. Separated. With multiple story plots. I especially liked Beth and Daryl’s dynamic and Carol’s “look at the flowers” moment.
However, I felt like the build up to Terminus didn’t have enough of a payoff with the cannibals. There was so much more you could do with that. After Frank Darabont left, and his successor left... they went back to trying to copy the graphic novel. I liked them just being “inspired” by the comics, not follow them exactly.
So, after the Terminus situation was over and they find the preacher in the woods. That’s the arc where it should have ended. IMHO. Beth dies at the Hospital, Daryl carries her body out. They decide to go to Washington D.C. it should have ended with them all deciding to see what lays ahead for them there. Traveling on the road in their RV... then pan out and see a sh!t ton of Zombie herds everywhere in the woods. Tons of carnage and destruction in front of them. No end in sight.
Ambiguous ending. It almost felt like once they arrived in Alexandria, it was a different show. Every character started to almost get rewritten and changed. You could tell it was a different show runner and writer.
Thoughts?
