If it wasn't for other humans the show would have ended a few seasons ago. They have already established they can live very well in the current world of zombies. The zombies simply aren't "dangerous" anymore it is the lack of rules and the threat of other factions that is their greatest danger. You can't have them just blow through a new "villain" every couple episodes, you have to build the story around these villains and what it does to the characters in order to have a viable narrative.

Give Rick time to figure out what he is going to do. It'll be worth it. We also have these four communities that we need to go back and forth between. It's a much larger world and will remain that way. Give them time to coordinate.

I like the villain aspect. And I hope Negan is around for a while as he's interesting. The Saviors are interesting. So's the community dynamic.

My issue is what I've complained about before with Rick for a couple seasons. His character has become flat in that it's just about building him up, setting him off, breaking him down. Rinse, repeat. We know Rick will get back to Crazy Rick — which most people seem to like — once something happens to make Snot Faced Rick realize he can't just ignore things. It was the lead up to Shane, the lead up to the confrontation with the Governor, the lead up to the second confrontation with the Governor.

It was ok a couple times, but now it's not really developing the character, it's just rehashing it.

Leave Snot Faced Rick beside the road. Keep Crazy Rick.
