Giving the show a rewatch after initially giving up not long after Carl died, season 7 is where the quite obvious decline seemed to start, the show being dragged out for money reasons.
The garbage people suck so much it's hard to put in to words. The way they speak, and act, the not even remotely twist they are "garbage" people.
This episode was entertaining, the "first round" of the war was exciting, but it's getting a bit much that nobody seems to die in these battles. How these characters all go from being such elite killers they'd have youtube channels and books when they're fighting zombies, to firing hundreds if not thousands of rounds at each other and there's no casualties is both laughable and ridiculous.
There's so many cheap ploys in the writing as well, the "shock value" thing of a character being a second away from death to not dying, or being in an impossible to survive situation but somehow escaping is boring. It worked reasonably well once with Glenn and the dumpster and they've ran it in to the ground since.
The 1/10 reviews are too over the top, as a stand alone episode it was good, but at the same time it highlighted so many things that started to go downhill or outright wrong with the show.
