This is what it is - a redemption. Not only did I enjoy this episode very much I also figure out for myself the main problem with 7 and 8 seasons - it's two freaking seasons instead of one. Everything would have worked so much better! EVERYTHING
"Oh no, but how would we be able to kill so many main characters in just one season?"
You can and you should have! It would have worked better! It would be so much more spectacular, the drama would have overflow along with action and thriller!
Yeah, you would have to cut something out, but maybe, just maybe, it would be exactly all the cringe-worth stuff and far-fetched stuff.
I personally love all the reflection and emotions heroes have to go through. But the weakest part of the late Walking Dead is bad directing and writing for the most episodes since there weren't enough substance to fill them with!
By the end of this finale however I was overjoyed by how lots of lines was completed (that of Rick, Morgan (in this story), Eugene, even bloody Oceanside(!)) And suddenly I figured out that many of those lasted throughout not one but two seasons - that's why the season 7 finale was such a shit storm. Without this slowness the absence of Maggie's pregnancy traces wouldn't bug me at such extent.
All in all, well-done episode, finally a decent finale. My hope in better Walking Dead is as of now resurrected.
