Yep - we pretty much agree 100%, lol. That's awesome. XD

Yeah, I can see why you're not liking Eugene; if for no other reason than he's not changing. Sure his over-the-top diction in most of his lines is still funny to me, but we're not getting any character development, like, at all. He was a plot device in the back half of Season 4 and the first half of Season 5, and now he's just the comic relief.

Honestly, again, what angers me the most is the total lack of significant character deaths. One thing that made Season 5 so good was the sudden deaths of so many main characters - Bob, Beth, Tyreese, Noah - it was all so brutal and really allowed us to feel just how painful and weary it was for all of them. But now, again, when Glenn becomes Superman and can survive anything, and literally the only characters who bite it now are redshirts or second-rates...I'm almost kinda shocked that Deanna actually bit it this last episode. It's like Season 4 all over again - a TON of second-hand characters (Karen, the Indian doctor, the Chambler family, the little girls) bit the dust, but did ANY major characters die other than Hershel and the Governor? And especially when it's the MAIN episodes of the season that are lacking - no one major died in the S5 finale OR the S6 mid-season finale. It was always a trend that each major point of the season (premiere, mid-season finale, mid-season premiere, and finale) was the highest chance for a major character to die (Hershel and Governor in S4 mid-season, Beth in S5 mid-season finale, Tyreese in S5 mid-season premiere), but now we've gone literally FIFTEEN EPISODES since someone major (Tyreese) actually died.

And also, I'm so tired of people using the excuse that Glenn and Carol and all of them need to stay alive because they've been around so long. Like, seriously? What's your point? Did people try to use that as an excuse to save Lori, or Andrea? No. They only care about characters who are "popular," even if they have no story/personality. Seriously - the last time we lost an original character was Andrea in the S3 finale. It is SO long overdue for either Glenn or Carol to die.
