It's the most popular show on TV. It's a cash cow. It definitely hasn't run its course. Please elaborate on what decisions you think were "stupid". It's no safer on an island in this fictional universe they've constructed, as you can see from Fear the Walking Dead. You're missing out if you can't overlook a few plot-lines that don't sync up with what you think the outcome should have been. This last episode's ending was literally the most intense scene I'd ever watched on TV. BUT, you have to be invested in the characters to enjoy it.
Meanwhile.... the pacing of the show has slowed down, they are understandably milking each season for every moment they can. Their spinoff series is falling short - although it is finally starting to get interesting - and this is just another sign of AMC's need to capitalize on what makes their studios money. This recent cease and desist letter is a huge slap in the face to fans and treads on the 1st Amendment and crosses the line. The letter doesn't make sense. What the studio dictates, the creators have to abide by to keep their paychecks coming in - it's a committee process for practically every decision they make on and off the show.
Politics aside, I'm still a fan.
