Exactly.
The writing's really been going downhill since chapter 2. This whole chapter felt like someone decided to take Kirkman's
memo and just go for broke.
"You want sad? Ok, let's kill off 4 of the 8 members in quick succession in the first 30 minutes! Yeah! How can we make that sadder... I know, have Carley show an interest in Lee right before taking a bullet to the face! Yeah! All aboard the sad train, baby! Cue violins!"
This thing was so forced it became stupid. And to make matters worse, we're immediately pushed a whole new set of group members to replace the old ones. Cause, you know, it's hard to have group survival drama when there is no group. So if ultimately our group of 8 becomes a group of 7, then why couldn't we have been given the option of saving some of the old members instead..? You know, in an emotionally engaging and interactive way that goes beyond watching a made-for-pc miniseries? Because then it wouldn't be SAD!
Well, good job writers. While you once had me anxious to see what my final survivor lineup would look like, you've now made it painfully clear that the only remaining question is whether Lee and/or Clem dies. Everything else is obviously out of our hands. Can't wait to "decide" the fate of these new characters... what are their names again?
Ah, who cares.
