The tv version of Abraham wasn't squandered, he lived up to the comics character. Now Tyrese...he was totally squandered.

I liked this one but the pace of this season is all fucked up with them splitting up cast members & plots between episodes.
Game of Thrones juggles twice as many characters and manages to advance storylines of each in most episodes. This whole, 'here's a Rick episode,' here's a Carol episode,' 'here's a Darryl episode,' and now 'here's a Maggie episode' shit sucks. It's one of the, if not the biggest fucking show on TV. AMC needs to pony up and let them improve the show a little.

Problem with that is they have failed to introduce any interesting characters worth giving a shit about. You can't just start killing off the original cast without someone to fill those shoes. All the Alexandrians suck. Hilltoppers suck (Jesus has potential). Who was the last new character anyone gave a shit about? Morgan (not sure how to classify him since he was there in the premier)? Abraham? Most of the goodwill towards him was based on his comic counterpart. The tv version seemed like squandered potential. Fr. Gabriel? 
Like most of the characters, the concept of Father Gabriel had potential ... but it was horribly squandered. It would have been interesting to see the Apocalypse through the eyes of a man of God. Instead we get a weak offscreen plot line about a coward. The best thing he has done was sneak up on Negan.

Exactly ... They are treated as props, not characters.

Next episode Neegan is going to discover Carl in the truck to which Carl is going to yell "Zoiks!" and then there will be a scene looking down a hallway as Negan and Carl skate through doorways in an exciting Scooby-Do style chase.
