So, a few things that bugged me...
In the category of just stupid:
- We just had a major battle with the saviors, so let's ALL -- ALL -- just hit the hay with the mansion door wide open
- No guards for the prisoners
- No one guarding those injured -- they haven't learned that?
- Everyone sleeping so soundly, that when a walker falls down the stairs into a room FULL of sleeping people, not one wakes up
- Multiple people getting killed like in a silent film: bitten from behind in the neck, shoulder and not a PEEP out of them
- The kid opens the wire gate to kill the guy who killed his brother... because he couldn't shoot them THROUGH said fence
I call BS:
- Our heroes have MANY times gotten walker guts splattered all over themselves, or have smeared it deliberately over themselves -- they have most certainly had fresh wounds some of those times. That kills exactly ZERO of them over 8.5 seasons. But this night, with the walk-guts-tainted-weapons we kill -- VERY QUICKLY -- how many people???? Find me a blood-bourne virus that works that way... though a fresh wound or cut SMEARED blood, vs. a puncture wound. Please. I. HATE. THIS.
- If one more character TELL me that Maggie is a "good leader" when I don't get leadership coming from her AT ALL, I think I'm going to lose it.
I just don't care:
- About Morgan having his third (??) nervous breakdown and seeing Gavin. I get it: we need a plot device for him to take off like The Littlest Hobo and move over the FTWD. Go already.
- Tara. Another character who turns into a loving pacifist right before they're about to die. Go away.
Comical lines that shouldn't have been comical:
- "Maggie." "Maggie Rhee". "The WIDOW." *insert eye rolls here*
- You're such a great leader.
- "I saved you this turnip." Wow.
- I know I'm forgetting some...
So... yeah. Waiting for season 9 and hoping it's better post-Gimple-showrunner, but like killing Carl, this now-you-can-get-infected-THIS-way thing is another one they can't just undo that I think makes the show worse. Ugh.
