Showing us the dark year so late in the season was a bad move on the show. With the timejump the show had to show how the 6 years had affected them and for that Thay did a good job. This was designed to start conflict among them, challenging there perspiration of who thay were and who thay are now. This worked really well for the show upon till episode 9, at this point it was hard to see wear Octavia and Clarke were coming from.

The writing for this show is flawed but it is't bad. If you look at reviews from IGN, and rottentomatos you will see on average the show get 8/9 out of 10. Eric Goldmen on IGN all so reviewd season 's 1-3 of TWD. The writing was bad in season 3 as the story seemed more important then the characters for example Murphy was a plot device. Season 5 has spent more time with it characters and less time progressing the story.
