By your rational though, the Governor had zero character development. We knew he wanted to attack the prison at the middle of last season, when they'd captured Glen and Maggie. He attacked the prison in ep. 8 this season and died. According to you, the stuff in between doesn't matter at all.
But that in between stuff was enjoyable to watch, it was very interesting. It wasn't just episode after episode of people moving from one place to another hiding from or killing 6 million zombies along the way.
This stuff right now is pretty boring compared to that. A matter of opinion yes. That I will concede.
