I thought the season premier episode was kind of "meh". Anyone feel differently? There were parts of it I liked, but I had issues with a good portion of the writing. For example....
-I thought it was a little bit too easy for Darryl to communicate with Dwight. The two groups are "at war", and Darryl can sneak right into the edge of their compound in broad daylight?
-They made it very clear that Negan is the problem, and that they feel that if they eliminate him, his organization will fall apart. Why didn't they just take him out when he was giving his dick measuring speech. They had 40+ people looking up at him with guns. One good rifle shot...game over.
-Where were all of Negan's people? There are thousands of them. Rick's group is down there with car walls and guns, and only 5 guys show up? Why did they not have hundreds of shooters up in the windows above them?
-Why would the Saviors think that Gregory has any pull with the Hilltoppers? I don't know how long it has been since he left the Hilltop, but it has to have been weeks (at a minimum).
-The priest ending up left behind, while trying to save Gregory, was completely predictable.
-It is getting stale for Negan to end up in a one on one situation with a prisoner from Rick's group. We have now seen it with Carl, Eugene, and Sasha (did I forget anyone?). Now we have to see it again with the priest.
-I have no idea what is going on with the "old man Rick" scenes. I don't read the comics. I guess I will find out as the season progresses.
