Anybody else sick of Carol?

She went from being this shy little mouse letting her sloppy husband beat the shit outta her to giving kids advice how to sneak through the woods like a green beret. All the while holding the rifle as awkwardly as you would expect a hippie would. Someone please show this actress how to handle a weapon. You surely can't pretend you are Rambo if you can't act like you know how to hold a rifle.
My point is this character is badly written. I think it is a waste of screen time for a show that suffers horribly from terrible pacing. Just either get rid of her or throw her in the mix with the rest of the crowd. She surely doesn't need her own spin off.

I like Carol, she is badly written as many of twd tv characters because of the filler episodes but i don't have a huge problem , i mostly want AMC to change the writers and stop going cheap because to me it have started to look like a sy-fy series.

The writing has been bad for a while and I think I am just riding the wave that initially got me hooked but I don't think the show has been good since the prison. I am slowly starting to lose interest.

No, I like Carol. But they need to write her out of this loner/funk she is in. It's ridiculous. She's a badass and they need to just write her as one and stop with the dreary loner stuff.

They need to get her a 50 cal sniper rifle and send her solo to blow Negan's head off.

Definately preffered the earlier Psycho Carol to this poxy annoying do-gooder but me thinks that will change when she learns of Glenns n Abrahams demise...until then she'l continue to be a wet as a fishes wet bits!

She is my favorite but her slump is kind of dumb though it may make her even more Carolambo when she finds out what happened though she might be a wee bit upset when she finds out that Daryl lied to her. Carol is the one that will get Ezekiel to fight. I liked Richard but tonight he was a complete jack. I hope Carol finds out his plan and punches him in the face more so than whay Daryl did.

I like Carol, I don't enjoy the show like I used to. The whole thing is just getting kinda old for me; I don't think there's anything the writers can do to bring back that lovin' feeling for me. But I'm so invested in it I have to see how it ends! 😱

Well they really need to stop doing episodes that just focus on one person or cmall group. Those solo episodes are getting old and out of hand. This weeks was a little bit better but it looks like next week is a Negan, Dwight, and Eugene centered. It kind of drags. The story lines are getting old of always fighting a group which it does get hard to write, I am sure, on what else are you going to do this far in the apocolypse. Fear the Walking dead could have rectified it by giving us what it promised. The beginning instead of 9 days later. Now they seem to be always fighting groups or going that way. They also shouldn't have done those stupid solo episodes. An occasional one is fine but all the time is annoying. You lose steam on to be continued... They really need new writers to freshin it up with new ideas. I am with you, I will keep watching because I didn't watch this far in to not watch it.

We need Terminator Carol back. Little girl sulking in her room Carol is getting old. When she was walking with the dead into Terminus and hunting down Wolves one by one, I was loving the character. She needs to pull herself together now. Break time's over!

This! I'm tired of the "tired Carol". Get her back into action. It kind of pissed me off that Daryl lied to her just so she could have peace and wouldn't feel the need to fight! They need her!

I disagree. Negan needs to be killed slowly and painfully, and up close and personal. Not just because the character is so awful, but because JDM is portraying him so poorly.

She is going to be that person that shows up right before a main character gets killed and saves him/her by riding in on the tiger or some stupid cliché moment and either dies in the process or goes back to her old self of killing without mercy.
either that or its time for her to look at the flowers...
