If I had to nitpick about this season I'd highlight these areas:
- T-Dawg developed a brain and a mouth right before he died. I understand he was background fodder with Rick-Shane-Daryl at the top of the line, Glenn doin' Maggie, and Herschel owning the farm. BUT JESUS, he could have been developed a little this season before his death, and not five minutes prior to it. It's like his irrelevance was a gag.
-Michonne didn't become a realized character until episode 12 despite being heavily featured, and her silence was used as a plot device when she had the chance to spill the beans to Andrea and she didn't. That was cheap.
-Axel was on his way to becoming the most interesting character on the show with his multiple back stories, his "is he good or is he evil" subtext, and then he was promptly killed off for shock value...
-...In a prison raid/terror attack that MADE NO SENSE.
-Daryl and Rick had this big moment, Rick's ultimatum of 'him or us', and Daryl made a move away from the group. A huge development for him where he's been a little stagnant this season, and what do you know? His big decision is rendered moot not even an episode later when he decides to walk back to the prison with Merle in tow. Lame, lame, lame.
So yeah, most of my issues come from one episode in particular, and this season has been pretty sweet, but definitely not close to perfect.
