The Walking Dead's logic loopholes in season 7

How many times can a group of survivors walk among hundreds of zombies without a single one so much as coughing on them? The seventh season, the Negan one, pushed the patience of those still hanging on to the limit. The show started under Frank Darabont's direction, and eleven seasons later it's a universe where the rules change depending on the script.

The bicho that explains anything, and its opposite

A bite kills some, while others stroll through hordes without a scratch. Rotting corpses move just like the freshly infected. And the obsession with not setting a barn on fire, while firing ammunition, is cited as the summary of a logic that falls apart.

From tension to soap opera with the dirty shirt

From the prison arc onward, the show prioritized personal drama. Replacement characters show up with the same profile as the ones who just died. The boost with Negan in season seven doesn't make up for a continuous decline. Sometimes a little fire would have solved the plot.

Of course, to enjoy a show about the walking dead, perhaps the only coherent explanation is that a wizard did it all. I'll leave it there.
