Is ‘The Walking Dead’ Bad Now?

The Walking Dead’s mid-season finale marked the third 90-minute episode in just eight installments. Why? I don’t know, but the show certainly hasn’t made a compelling enough argument with that extra time. Last night, the midseason finale of season 7, was its last chance to do so.
Finally, after all that time, The Walking Dead began pulling together the storyline that’s been inevitable for the entire season: Alexandria, the Hilltop, and the Kingdom joining forces to take down Negan and the Saviors once and for all. There’s nothing inherently wrong with predictability—many of Westworld’s “twists” could be seen from 5,280 feet away, and the show wasn’t much worse for it—but it comes with the caveat that if we know what’s coming, the payoff better be huge. The problem with TWD, though, once again, is that it was all stalling and little payoff.
