Boring.
The episodes are starting to slow down. Why are we still on the farm? How can this setting possibly move the plot forward? I get that it acts as a microcosm of society as a whole but the danger has been cooled considerably when it should be heating up.
Herschel's reasoning about the walkers is sound. How do we know that a cure won't be found? And feeding them chickens with broken legs is chilling. But for dramatic purposes, is this really the arc you want to hang your story upon?
Glenn's character is growing. He's starting to realize that he has gifts. But again, it does little to elevate the danger. This is not the time to settle and collect our breath. The show is at its finest when the danger grows out of control.
Let's hope this is not reflective of Darabont leaving the series. If it is, get him back quickly!
