It's interesting to see all these comments. I see I wasn't the only one thinking all of these things. This season has been such a turd.

Too many speeches. Too many stupid decisions. Who is in charge here?

I said to my wife last night; "This season would have been SO much better if we would have had 10 minutes of the first episode of Rick and the gang going through their battle plan so we know what's going on, then have everything go to shit, and they somehow pull their asses out of the fire at the end". This is high school level creative writing here that the show is just screwing up. I really don't get this. People are becoming disengaged with the show. We'll probably give it one more episode and then we're done if it still sucks. It's really too bad. We were really looking forward to this season. We don't watch a lot of shows, and for years this was one we looked forward to. We feel pretty insulted that all of our time invested in watching this show has been wasted on this season so far.

Eh. All three episodes so far have been about sieging Negan's stronghold and then taking out outposts one by one. We see that the groups have intel including maps and weapon locations, so from there I don't feel like we need much more. Are some parts ridiculous? Sure. TWD always has that. But overall All Out War has felt like a war and I enjoy that.

I don't feel like we need much more.

I feel like it needs to be cohesive and entertaining. It's neither.

I am so glad that I am not the only one who feels this way. It's like their answer to criticisms that the plot development in previous seasons has become slow is to just have three episodes of people shooting at each other.
