Shit, between Rosita letting the Wolf guy disarm her and then Daryl, Sasha and Abraham just letting themselves get taken...

The more and more I think about the first half of this season I come to the realization that so far we've gotten a bad half season with a slew of great episodes. Now before I get cursed with CancerAids and told to drink a gallon of anti-freeze let me explain.
This season literally picked up right after the end of last season. Porch Dick had not been buried yet, so figure a day or two there. Now this season has elapsed over the span of two days. The story has not moved forward. There were excellent episodes so far; the Wolves attack was intense, Morgan's back story was one of the best things I've seen on TV in quite awhile, Glenn's fate kept the entire internet on pins and needles.
But if you look at the entirety of the season it's essentially season 2 without the character building. Seriously, who has changed or grown? Carol is still the bad-ass she evolved into (and she keeps attracting creepy kids), Abraham is still the gruff soldier, Glenn is still the optimistic one, Rick is still Rick, Michone is still the hopeful one looking towards a better future, and the Alexandria's are still disposable red shirts of the show. Hell where's Aaron? Here's a guy that is riddled with guilt for his part (albeit small) of the Wolves finding Alexandria. He basically disappeared after showing Maggie the secret way out.
Only
CORAL has really changed, he's the kids growing up in this world and adapting to it. Hell he's actually aging twice as fast as anyone else. He's 16 and he was only 10 or 11 when the zombie apocalypse started two years ago. I mean that takes serious skill.
So far, this season has been exciting episodes but the show producers are trying to cram way to many stories into a single season. I get the way they have to play with the timeline to give the proper time to each character's story. They did a great job of that the past 2 - 3 seasons. But this season has basically been dealing with Rick's choice to do a walker drive vs. a couple of gallons of gas and dropping a match. Hell it worked before, see Milton season 3.
