It's been known for months that Season 7 was going to be eerily dark and depressing. The cast members constantly said so in interviews.
But just giving vague descriptions about the season's tone doesn't tell the plot of any one specific episode. The Forbes article didn't criticize the tone, the whole premise of the show is depressing and dark. The article criticized very specific things about how TWD presented this season's episodes.
That fake-out the show did was lame when Tara thought that walker with braids was Heath. The show already did that a couple years ago with a fake Michonne walker who had dreadlocks. The writers are becoming lazy with these cheap devices.
They did it with Glenn and Maggie too maybe a couple of others. There was also that Andrea looking zombie after she was indeed dead but it shouldnt have been possible for her to reanimate.
So WHERE has Tara been for the past nine episodes? (I know she had a baby off show.) But I mean did she get lost after they attacked the saviour outpost? Or did she and the rasta guy go on some epic scrounging mission for the past several months?
At least we didn't have to seen that stupid Negan and his clowns.
Oh, OK, I missed the first few minutes, all caught up now on where Tara has been don't mind me.
I was thinking the same thing but then after Talking Dead the episode aired again and then it made sense.
The group attacked the radar station killing the saviours inside then Tara and the "rasta guy" decided to go on a 2 week long scrounging trip so everything we have seen from the first episode this season up to now has happened in a 2 week one day period.
I thought this was an interesting read. Five Reasons Why TWD's Ratings are Crashing to Season 3 Levels: Forbes Welcome
Of course it's too late for the producers to correct these for this season because they've filmed all of the episodes.
They hit the problem with Negan that I discussed in a post a few weeks ago - he's a cartoon character! Not in a sense that he is based on someone from the graphic novel, but he is too animated, too exaggerated, and too overacted to take serious. He's like The Joker or Skeletor or Wil-E-Coyote. He belongs in that type of cartoon/super-heroes fictional world, not the one of "Walking Dead".
Nothing will top the "Morgan getting ninja training" episode or the "Beth gets her first drink" episodes.
really you didn't like the cheese man episode? I thought that was one of the best episodes... yes the Beth one was terrible but I have to say last nights was the worst episode I ever saw... the acting was horrible.. the way they directed that whole episode was just terrible.. so if they were 2 weeks from Alexandria (driving) and she was only a mile from the bridge, how long did it take her to get back to Alexandria? wouldn't it have been days or maybe weeks? Unless her and heath were going in circles? and they never ran into any of Negans group blocking the roads and stuff..

I was okay with most of the episode, but the part I bolded jumped out at me too. Negan and his magical goons are only omnipresent when the plot demands it. Even after they are on high alert after rolling Alexandria.

I have to admit I chuckled when Father Gabriel "sneaked" up on him.

Quite a few of us have pointed that out. It is a bit of an insult to our intelligence for the guy and his infrastructure to exist. And spreading everybody so thin that we only see beloved characters once a month is killing the momentum thev've built up.
