Even speaking as a fan of these “Walking” shows, one of the inherent flaws in them is having such character-driven story-lines in a show whose key traits include an ever-changing, “killable” cast. For example, I got into Fear even as TWD started to lull specifically because Nick was such an awesome, watchable character (to me). Now he’s years gone. So is nearly all of the original cast, save one or two. It’s hard to like a show based on how likeable its characters are, when the ones you really get attached to are permanently gone, but the show continues so long that the current characters don’t even know who that person ever was.

My point is, it’s inevitable that their replacements are going to have different amounts of charisma (or lack thereof), different acting abilities (or lack thereof), and less-enjoyable story-lines (or lack thereof). I like Morgan, I like a few parts of what’s going on, now, but man; do I miss Nick and Mexico.
