I enjoy that for the most part, to me its planning, its developing small-scale, personal stories within the defined over-arching storyline.

I dont know what most people want from this show, constant zombie-killing? Its a story following a group of people that have to overcome human adversity in the midst of a zombie apocalypse where they encounter an escalation of human adversaries while surrounded by a lethal ever-present danger.

The thing is: theres no Endgame.

The show has basically set us up with the idea that there is no happy ending coming, so, if you've bought your ticket, take the ride.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
