    • On the downside, the war was rather anti-climactic. What could have been an epic battle of survivors clashing instead boiled down to something as simple Eugene destroying the entire operation from the inside.

    It was great to finally see Rick show mercy after being so bloodthirsty all season and finally see the vision Carl had for the future, but Maggie isn’t quite on the same page and could be a thorn in any future plans which may involve Negan.

    Daryl showing humanity and allowing Dwight to live was a step in the right direction, but Morgan feeling the need to alienate himself from society in order to find himself again is something that should be concerning…even as he makes the jump to Fear The Walking Dead.

    Now, The Walking Dead can reset things. They can create new and interesting storylines that don’t have to follow the events of the comics at all and give fans a unique experience that plays out better on AMC, which should be exciting for fans going forward.
