Enid and Aldan isn't terrible, but that relationship might very well be doomed.Ĭassady McClincy as Lydia, Samantha Morton as Alpha Credit: AMC
We lost a potentially very interesting relationship between Aaron and Jesus since they had to go kill Jesus off just when he was getting interesting. The Walking Dead has a really hard time writing believable relationships and romance and that continues into this season despite many other improvements. (Rick and Michonne's relationship was rushed, popping out of nowhere literally one episode after Rick's obsession, Jessie, was eaten by zombies. That would be even more preposterous, though perhaps not outside the realm of possibility given how the writers just pair people up willy-nilly like this. Siddiq and Rosita make way more sense, partly because they don't go as far back and partly because Gabriel is just not great in any way and should just be the priest/council member guy not constantly in some relationship.Įugene is worse, but at least Rosita doesn't love him back. I don't buy Rosita and Gabriel in any way whatsoever and the show insisting that they're an item now, despite the lack of chemistry or believability there, appears to be solely so that they can add this character drama to the mix. I'm sorry, but I just don't care about the weird love-square between Rosita, Siddiq, Gabriel and Eugene. Something needs to happen because we've spent the last few episodes slowly inching the plot forward with not a lot to show for it.
