I thought last night's episode was fantastic. I believe that in storytelling it's important to take the time that's necessary to really develop a character arc. If we had half an episode of Daryl and Beth having their coming out moments, and another half with some other part of the group, the magic of Daryl's revelations would have been lost in the cross-over between settings.
I think they did a great job last night, far superior to the other episodes we've seen since the return. I personally was glad to finally understand Daryl's character more. I think we all sort of knew there was something off about him, but now we know he wasn't a criminal, he was just a nobody, and that's why his character has developed as slowly as it has.
That said, it's about time they picked up the pace in general though. Walking Dead is starting to show elements of LOST, where story arcs drag out for very long. The governor is dead, the good guys are broken up, so now it's time to bring them all back together and get on with it.
I can't imagine what it must be like to write a show like this where you have fans chomping at the bit for progression, but the network telling you to slow it down and milk that ad revenue.
- the problem for me is I have no emotional attachment to any character .. if they die oh wellRamanisky2
