Show has slow paced episodes that do important character exposition to create big emotional moments later on. Fan reaction: "Too slow! Give me some action already! Why is it taking so long for them to kill the other guys?!"
Show does non-stop action for several episodes in a row to finally give a payoff to the fans. Fan reaction: "Too much action! How am I supposed to care about all of this?!"
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. At a certain point in every show's run, fans are never satisfied with status quo, even if the status quo is good. That's why every show ends. It seems the fans have decided that this is the last season.
Now that I've said that: I rarely complain, but the guy playing Morales was such a bad actor for a scene of that emotional depth with important lines to say. It's a result of them casting lesser actors when the show was a relative unknown in the 1st season. However, I wish they had tried another option to do the same plot/character device other than Morales. There had to be another character from the past that Rick could have encountered. Just a poorly executed scene due to weak and ham-fisted acting.
