That moment was two years ago, during/after Alexandria

TWD has repeated the same formula every season, whether it was Hershel's farm, or the Gov, or the cannibals, or Alexandria, or now Nagen:

Our heroes meet another group.
Conflict ensues, because the other group is evil in some way.
People die, including a main or secondary character.
Our heroes move on, perhaps learning a lesson, perhaps not.
They meet a new group, repeat.

I haven't seen much character development nor plot development in years. There is no hope, and no overall goal. That's why I stopped watching midway through two seasons ago. I recorded last night's ep to see who died, and if anything, the show seems to have become worse.

Disaapointed in TWD -- MEHOKIE 10/24/2016 11:28AM

In addition to the gratuitous violence, Negan's dialogue annoyed me. -- RoswellGAHokie 10/24/2016 1:47PM

I'm just annoyed that it seems to be an even 1:1 split between show time -- VTENGR 10/24/2016 1:41PM

It's still 45 minutes to watch a 60 minute episode. -- Hokie CPA 10/24/2016 3:32PM

Last night was bloody brilliant. ** -- Major Kong 10/24/2016 1:14PM

Rethink it, Rick had several chances through the episode. ** -- thankbud 10/24/2016 12:00PM

And that's why I'm disappointed -- MEHOKIE 10/24/2016 12:41PM

That was my earlier comment about Hilltop (show & book SPOILER) -- HWA 10/24/2016 3:10PM

Well, it'd make for a short season if they killed Negan in his first full -- Hokie CPA 10/24/2016 12:46PM

Of course Jeffrey Dean Morgan does have a habit of dying pretty quickly. ** -- AbsolutVT03 10/24/2016 2:48PM

I thought the episode was a turn in the right direction but still skeptical -- Upwind of uva 10/24/2016 1:14PM

Yea he did ** -- bluehokie 10/24/2016 12:24PM

We'll see if that was the "jumped the shark" moment -- EDGEMAN 10/24/2016 11:32AM

That moment was two years ago, during/after Alexandria -- WestyHokie 10/24/2016 12:13PM

Disagree. -- HokieGator 10/24/2016 2:11PM

I don't see how that's different -- WestyHokie 10/24/2016 2:24PM

Well, you kinda described Alexandria -- at first, they were leery of Rick ** -- HWA 10/24/2016 4:23PM

To be fair they have found groups that were good. -- AbsolutVT03 10/24/2016 2:34PM

I think that's arguable -- WestyHokie 10/24/2016 5:10PM

Not that it matters -- HokiesIE 10/25/2016 08:36AM

We've seen lots of good groups. -- HokieGator 10/24/2016 2:52PM

Is there any chance.... -- HokiesIE 10/25/2016 08:39AM
