I guess they needed the end of season cliffhanger to keep people interested in a show where the writers ran out plot/ideas of a long time ago.
hehe

You do realise that they are broadly following the story from comic books right? They have't/can't run out of ideas if the guy still writing the comic is plotting it out for them!
I guess the guy still writing the comic's the one that ran out of ideas...

Rick's group walks around
Rick's group settles down
Fill in some back story about a character no one gives a fk about
Rick's group meets some assholes with a boss asshole
Some assholes kill some of Rick's group
Fill in some back story about a character no one gives a fk about
Rick's group recover/survive/get revenge but lose their home
Repeat but make next boss asshole a bit harder
Tbh any long running series will have a sense of rinse and repeat, it is inevitable. The important thing is that they still contain enough to keep interest. For many that is still the case with The Walking Dead.

I think the Daily Mash have summed it up pretty well:

Africa? I've watched every episode from the beginning and thought initially they'd only moved a few dozen miles, perhaps a few hundred now. But Africa?!

As with many comics and such inspired platform games. I think it's fairly true to life too.

Hard to see how they don't go in circles if they keep making them.

I predict there will be a war in about 5 series times with Negan

I don't get all the complaints about it being too violent. There's enough warnings about there being strong violence and horror, it's on after the watershed, if people are still dumb enough to let their children watch it that's their problem.
I thought the first episode of season 5 in the Terminus was far more brutal, mainly because it was so cold and calculating. Clearly just part of what they do with no remorse or time for the victims other than them literally being a piece of meat, yet I don't remember too many complaints then.

My wife quit watching the show at that point. I have to admit I still think about that scene over the trough even now.

As I mentioned earlier in the the thread, that particular scene got to me more than any other TWD scene to date, and more than many video nasties I've witnessed on the internet over the years.

Truely horrific.

Sorry, the people who've read the comics REALLY want you to know that they've read the comics. Like REALLY, REALLY want you to know.

Season 7 onwards is gonna be completely different to the previous 6 seasons. Now we have communities, Rick is no longer in charge. Negan isn't gonna did ANY time soon, things are changing.
