This season has been a derivative of Lost. While Lost was driven for character development to the overall plot, WD has gone that route for each episode season 7. They are spending an entire episode on each character as to where and what happened during this Negan ordeal. It was simple and to the point from the beginning. Killing zombies and staying alive.
If they were going by the comics, it was spot on killing Glenn. It enabled Maggie to emerge as a leader. How many episodes were they teasing us with Glen's death? It was bound to happen. Like you said they should replace him with a more interesting character. The episodes have been too slow moving for that to happen.
Because we already know the characters in this really damn well. I looked ahead at the next two episode's info blurbs. Looks like this week will be boring as hell with us getting "a closer look at sanctuary and the lifestyle of the saviors," while Alexandria scavenges. But then next week, things "quickly spin out of control..." Uh, no. Things have very, very slowly twisted in the wind.
I figured this might be the place for this: https://www.yahoo.com/news/zombies-wipe-humans-less-100-134700805.html
I feel like it would be easier for me to kill a brain dead, slow moving corpse, rather than the other way around.
Ya, get one of those hedge trimmers that look like a mini chainsaw on the end of the pole, and be sure to wear a raincoat.
It would be so easy to stop zombies (assuming they're like the kind found in The Walking Dead and a lot of zombie stories) that it would never get to the point of being an apocalypse. The police can deal with Negan.
Neegan is lame as hell. Constantly rambling on in what I assume is an attempt to establish him as interesting and charismatic, but he's dull as hell. The Governor was way better.
I've always thought the Governor was severely underrated as a villain. He made season 3 50x more interesting.
