Open message to the producers of 'The Walking Dead':

I understand that every television show has to have a story where there are characters to like and dislike. Moreover, I get that sometimes – in order to forward a story arc along – certain characters needs to exist for quite a certain amount of time in order for said story arc to continue to its end.

Maybe it is I, but at some point, there comes a time where continuing to watch characters I dislike continually exist and thrive and success becomes unhealthy and not a very good use of my time. Call it a limitation in my psychological makeup if you like. All I can say is that is as much as I know about me.

So shows where stupid or annoying idiotic characters (with mind you, no commentary on the actors’ portrayals) continually come out on top (per se) is not something I know I will continue to watch.

This was my attitude towards several characters on The Walking Dead. That character Andrea was one of the stupidest dumbest people on the show, and while I had nothing against her those things aside, it was good to finally see her meet her end (again, nothing against the actor).

Well it’s the same with Carol, but far more deeper.

I never liked her.

She was a wuss and a weakling who stayed in an abusive marriage, all the while surviving based on the courage and actions of others. And while I’m not saying the things she did or contributed to the group’s survival were minimal or not important (they were);  what I am saying is - her actions and attitude have in my mind made her a psychopath whose glorified continual existence continues to only really serve need to a certain segment of the fan base, rather than actually move the story forward.

Her world view is that of a cold-blooded coward, who’ll use any means to save herself, as opposed to anyone around here. Her attitude turned that one weak girl into a crazy psychopathic killer, not Rick or anyone else. And now I expect she’s going to come to more characters’ rescues and continue to survive.

That’s the producers’ choice. But don’t expect me to rent and watch Season 5 on Netflix or continue to invest emotional energy and physical time into a show where I’m constantly having to watch her crazy stupid worldview continually be held up as something cool and interesting. It is neither and this will be one fan that is going to tune out permanently.
