What? You mean, except when it does have mysteries?

That's not the point Mock. We're talking about these shows/stories having a setting/background. That background is largely irrelevant and just the stage for the characters and stories.

And also as I said the show is very one note if all it is about is moving from one place to the next, that isn't even a plot it's just changing location for more of the same Lori-esque stuff that doesn't fit in with what the audience was promised in season 1, or with any other Zombie story that's ever been made which it does have to follow those tropes to an extent.

"Realistically" this small group of people are not going to discover the cause and find a cure neither.

The show is about a group of survivors struggling to cope in a zombie apocalypse. The show has never changed from this premise.

No, it doesn't have to follow tropes from other zombie stories. What a ridiculous comment. There's no point in it existing, if it has to do everything that's already been done because Mock wants it to.

You're talking as though they're moving location for the sake of it... uh, hello... zombies.

Wanting Daryl or whoever else to suddenly develop the skills to produce a zombie cure is laughable. It's not what the show is about.

Individual characters will have mysteries (like most shows do tbf) but none of it is about Albert Square itself on any episode that I've ever seen of the show.

I think the biggest thing that the show should be having happen is for groups to be bumping into Scientists, Military Officers, and just characters wanting to put a stop to the madness rather than all of them wanting to kill each other.

I mean these posts make it sound like I hate the show (I honestly don't) I just do feel that the show has written itself in a way where either the Zombies are pointless in the show, or the Lori type characters are pointless in the show as Zombie stories and Soap Opera stories don't naturally mesh with one another as the stories are nothing alike.

What if the scientists and military officers are all dead? Maybe the bleak reality of the story is that by the end the entire population/world will die?

But as you've said to me about the plot, if that is the ending then the show could easily end within 3 to 5 seasons, not planning on doing 12 seasons like the writers have promised.

Why? There's all of the story they have had involving the characters over the years.

Could end in 3 to 5 seasons if they only include things you are interested in.

What you enjoy and don't enjoy doesn't equate to what is and isn't relevant to the stories they are telling.

And I doubt that will be the "ending" as the show isn't about them. It'll be about whatever ending is in store for the characters we're actually watching on-screen.

What story do you think that they're "telling" though? Alot of the characters are either dead or just hanging on through sheer fan popularity at this point (Daryl and Michonne) the only "story" that seems to be mentioned on here is them moving from point A to B which isn't even really a story in itself if it's basically still just Negan hunts them down from another location with his Biker Gang type mentality, you could basically just keep him and Simon still going for them in Alexandria and it still wouldn't make a difference.
