If I don’t ever see another “My god! What have we become!” episode of TWD, I’ll be fine.

You’ve become what is necessary to survive. You didn’t make the rules. You didn’t waylay people on the road and rob them of their supplies. You don’t shamble around the countryside trying to eat folks. So why the unending angst over doing what you have to do?

Shut up, kill the creatures who are trying to kill you, and spare us the banal moralizing and shameful tears. They’re useless.

By the way, so is Morgan. Take him out in the woods and put a bullet in him.

‘”Shut up, kill the creatures who are trying to kill you, and spare us the banal moralizing and shameful tears. They’re useless”

That’s what is called “humanity” and a conscience. It’s what makes Ricks group better than the Survivors, Wolves etc. It’s also what makes Rick “better” than Neegan.

Heck, the cannibals at Terminus were just trying to survive. Right?

I kind of always thought morality was a good thing.

Agreed. The crew is pretty slow in thinking. They learn very little. Emotions get you killed. They foolishly drop into one bad situation after another. Are they so shallow to not be happy to be alive at all? And having a crisis of conscience? I am to the point of rooting for the bad guys in some cases just to thin out the stupidity.

They aren’t useless. Eventually you have to rebuild a society, and to make a society at some point you have to stop killing everybody. That’s always been the long game concept of TWD, it’s the story of going all the way THROUGH zompoc to having dealt with it and having a functioning society again.
