Admittedly, Carol’s evolution is one of my favorite story arcs of the series and since I am probably about to lose my other favorite character (Glenn), I really want to see her become whole again with the ones she loves. I understand why she wanted to rid herself of love and death. But she wasn’t very far down the road until she was protecting TF again. TPTB have gone to great pains to show that there is NOTHING she wouldn’t do to protect her beloveds. What do you think she would do if she knew Negan had her family? She had no idea how many people were at Terminus, she just went. This would be no different. But she doesn’t know and she’s in bad shape and since she and Morgan are going to the Kingdom there is no telling how long it will be until she finds out. But I think it would be in character and part of the natural order of progression for both Carol and Morgan to decide someone needs to stop Negan and that they are the ones to do it. I know they’re setting up for Rick to be the victor and who knows what Kirkman has in store with the Whisperers but having Carol take Negan out would help to resolve the moral issues of killing the living in the ZA. Everyone is tainted, everyone is guilty but the reasons matter. Carol has only killed to protect or save. Morgan has different issues to work out in this matter, before he met Eastman he was killing the living and the dead alike but with insight from each other and the reality of their current (fictional) situation I think they could come to a balance. I don’t know what the details would be but I guess that’s why I don’t write scripts for a living. A secondary reason I like this idea is I also think it is folly to let the villain story arc run on and on. I know Negan’s hasn’t really started yet and I realize probably the only people left after an apocalypse would be the immoral and scarred but I’m really tired of TWD formula. You guys know what I’m talking about. Anyway, this is what I think would be interesting for the upcoming season.
