I read an article today that blasted AMC and their marketing department for actively advertising the fact that these are the last episodes for Rick Grimes.
The writer was absolutely correct. It's a slow-drip towards the inevitable this season. And while it has been better than the past 2 seasons (so far), everyone knows the end is near.
In my humble opinion, they really needed to introduce a brand new conflict 2-3 seasons ago to maintain momentum (instead of the continuous "who's the next group of bland people we have to go to war against?).
I'm not sure what that clever conflict would be, but something fresh was needed.
