..... just end the series already.
Season 7 is nonsense.. no real storyline... it is as if they wake up each Monday and decide what the next episode should be... as if they are writing it off-the-cuff in a high school drama department without any "seasonal" outline or history of the past seasons. Or a sense that any character came from the main show thus history of their time on The Walking Dead either.
At this point it's more of comedy of errors than anything else. It just keeps getting more and more unrealistic, convoluted, and illogical.
Season 7 Episode 14, Divine Providence, so clearly shows the entire issue with the writing and how characters are not written like *real* people. It's really become "soap opera" writing with illogical 180° turns in character motivations within the span of 20 minutes (seriously). Kill Him! No Trust him! No Kill Him! No Trust Him! No Kill Him. On top of that, there are CLEAR continuity errors in episode 14 -- watch for Alicia using her "missing hand" to grab someone's rifle, then make a fist with it immediately afterwards.
------------------
And it seems season 7 meant nothing.. without spoilers.. they start an ENTIRE NEW STORYLINE the last episode of season 7. Episode 16 of season 7 (the finale) has NOTHING to do with the previous 15 episodes in the season. One could literally watch the season 6 finale, then immediately jump to the season 7 finale and not have missed anything. No one of any importance dies and nothing of major consequence happens in the first 15 episodes of season 7. They are largely a waste of time and padding so everyone can get paid for them.
"Lazy writing" is an understatement.
-------------------
Season 8 thus far (seen 3 eps) is merely a lesson in how to write a soap opera when one ignores ALL logic.
Season 8 has been much worse than season 7... I'm only watching it because it's been announced as the last season.

- Prevent children from losing parents..... by taking them away from parents... so they lose their parents
- Travel from the west coast of the US (Padre) to King County Georgia (where Morgan met Rick in The Walking Dead) in the blink of an eye - where are they hiding the teleporters???
- HUGE time leap.... but no one has aged except children.
- A scar on Dwights face that, after years, now appears like it's a fresh wound and NOT a scar at all - I've never seen a SCAR that's deeply multi-colored after a decade.
