5 of the biggest fails on The Walking Dead season 6

Let’s face it, no show likes to troll its audience like The Walking Dead. I mean Homeland may test your patience and Game of Thrones may kill all the people you love, but there’s something captivating and unique about the Walking Dead’s ability to get you invested in the film’s characters only to blow it all away. In fact, if you’ve watched all the 90 minutes of the episode titled 'Last Day on Earth’ and are feeling angry and frustrated, that’s exactly how the cast and production crew want you to feel. After all, Robert Kirkman, the comic book producer, did promise it would be painful summer for Walking Dead fans. All in all, let’s take a look at 5 of the biggest fails in the TWD season 6.

1. The Writers Botched Glenn’s Death

Besides the fact that Glenn’s death was not discussed much of the team, I thought it was just ridiculous to fake it. I mean, he dies in the third episode, but viewers are not aware that it was just a fake out until the seventh episode. Considering that Season 6 of TWD started out with so much potential, Glenn’s fake death was a definite a black spot.

2. Too Much Filler Content

This is one of the biggest fails for The Walking Dead; one hand, there are episodes like the attack of Alexandria which was frightening, tense and deliciously violent, and on the other hand we have episodes with brutal drama and great action. However, in between we have fluff and filler that never needed to exist. Moreover, the worst part of it all is that the fillers dilute the intensity of the show. I think the best way to stop this would have been to avoid splitting episodes among small groups of characters.

3. Characters acting out of character to Lengthen the plot

Although most fans like to pretend that they have never noticed how weird the characters WERE acting throughout the entire run of TWD, it became quite evident when Carol WENT ahead to kill the captured Wolf. Carol is a smart character; she could have waited until the danger passed then gone to Rick so that they could handle the problem. Good dramas allow a story to follow its character, not the other way around.

4. Bizarre Casting

If you watched Lost chances are you noticed how new faces kept showing up in the magical island that was supposedly in the middle of nowhere. So when The Walking Dead suddenly had a bunch of new characters between season 5 and 6 I couldn’t help but note that plausibility is the least concern for TWD writers. We are talking about fortified colonies in the midst of a Zombie apocalypse; how can there be new faces in Alexandria every week?

5. Carl’s Hair

I know you’ve probably been thinking the same thing; Carl’s hair looks like it could eat him anytime. It’s so bad he urgently needs to get a cut. After all, it’s not like scissors are extinct in the Zombie apocalypse.
