Derv - You summed it up perfectly.
Within a few moments of a new character, you can tell if they will be dead soon, or a mainstay. Like the guy that questioned Rick, on the mission to get rid of the horde, I thought right away - 'This mofo is dead'.
I think living a large community makes it tough on the writers to either have random people running around with zero plot, or give each of them a little plot. Either way I think it thins out the main characters involvement and makes it seem like lazy writing. What annoys me, is when they give a character some heavy plot and involvement, then they disappear for tons of episodes. Example, would be the gay dude, forgot his name already, since he has only been shown for like 5 minutes talking to Maggie all season.
I don’t care enough about most TV shows to think about the writing, I just go along with it, while thinking about other shit. But, this show does allow me to get more involved, which is a sign of a good show. In my opinion at least.
