Really? So you're saying you like Carl or Enid better? Deanna's son Spencer? Denise, the doctor lady who recently died?
Carol's progress has been slow and deliberate, and she was going down a dark path without any checks to that progress. Now, after being captured and encountering another group that she could identify with, she's reflecting on the things she's done and realizes she doesn't like it. She's not so far gone that she can't feel guilt or remorse, but she still does what she has to for her survival.
I don't think it's a stretch at all, and I like it when characters change a little now and then. How boring would it be if they remained the same all the time? It'd be an episodic show with no story or character arc, and it wouldn't resemble the show as you know it now.
