I think with the limited amount of skill that we see from the writers, we get one or the other. They have a hard time putting it all together, so when we do get some character development or a slowdown in pace, people need to learn to deal, as it seems it's the best the writers are capable of on TWD. What I don't understand is how people can watch the show to simply bitch about it constantly. My advice to them, just stop watching it if you don't like it.

For sure, I think we're on the same page.
After thinking about it for a time, I think some of the fault is with the actors too. Even some of the fan favorites aren't great in those slower, talkier, scenes.
I think the reason TWD is open to so much criticism is two fold. It can be frustrating to watch because of it's inconsistency. You get an awesome episode, then a few rotten ones. But then you get an amazing one again. If it were just bad all the time you could walk away.
The other reason is because it's the most popular show on television. You can't really go anywhere without hearing about it. So of course if people don't like it or are frustrated, it's going to come up. Part of being at the top I suppose. I get what you mean though, and I do try to do that with most shows. I've been on the fence with this one a lot though, so it goes back and forth. For instance, the very first episode I think was the best episode and could have easily been a better than average movie if you added 20-30 minutes. Of course, we all know a lot of the bad episodes from season two and three that nearly had us packing in the towel.
