Just "watched" it...
Damn... that was emotional...
There were a few things that... you know... could have been better thought of.
Negan drives trailer to some place full of walkers.... Negan drives back to patch of forest where lots of people, lots of light, lots of talking and some yelling happen... no walker ever interrupts the party... -.-'
Negan's troops... it's like they're covered in walker repellent. Just strolling around the forest like it's a walk in the park.
It's kinda the same with each new group we see. They start all shiny and clean, as if the past year or so has been bountiful and easy...
I did not expect Glenn to go, but that's what made it emotional... Abraham wasn't really part of the core group... just a relative newcomer. But Glenn.... damn... he's been there since episode 1. He helped Rick out of that Tank... Well, Rick should have stayed in the tank... start it and get going.
Also, still fuming over last season - why the heck did they have to go to that particular place that required going through those guys? Aren't there other directions? Other towns with potential docs? If North doesn't seem to work for 2 or 3 roads... damn... go South! Go back! Everyone knows (and Rick should know it very well) that pregnant women, when ill with some general infection, should not take antibiotics... drink lots of water, lots and lots and lots of water.
And back to Negan's folk... after raiding their armory, they still have guns to spare... high-caliber bullets to spare... everything to spare? Doesn't make sense.
On top of that, there's the whole concept - humanity is failing, genetic diversity is going to the shit.... and you still assert dominance through strength? Through killing some people?
Bad long-term strategy. Stupid way to do things.
Carl Sagan said it better:
"The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot."
But I get it, the series is a kind of soft-horror story. The characters are supposed to be scared shitless... 6 seasons of running away from slow-zombies can only give you so much story... go post-apocalyptic Humans Vs Humans, just like all other post-apocalyptic movies/series/novels/etc... don't knock off a winning formula.
I've read that the writer doesn't even want to tell us the cause of the zombie-infection... that would turn the show/comics into sci-fi, he says. And he wants this to be a horror story. The unknown, unknowable, unfixable underlying problem isn't the main concern... the important bit, to him and many fans, is the human struggle, how different groups of survivors clash.
However, the only survivors that seems to have some common sense are our heroes. All other groups are just weird.
