To be fair, all of this culminating with only 3 episodes to go is hardly selling that theme short. We've had 7 full seasons and 3 episodes of "oooh what are these zombies gonna do?" and with just 3 episodes left to wrap up the characters who can actually talk (the NK and his horde were never going to be compelling enough to leave until the end, if they can't even bloody speak) I really wouldn't argue the "fear of death / fear of winter" angle has been sold short at all.

Especially not after the biggest battle in the history of film, lol
