This season's storytelling problems may be due to the likelihood that all the writers and producers have read the books, unlike the vast majority of viewers. As Tim Goodman notes, "If Game of Thrones is going too fast for the books, the books are making The Walking Dead lose its storytelling pace by moving too quickly for the TV version to keep up with. And that's no way for the show to stay in the conversation about great television." PLUS: Finale will have "sad losses," (http://www.ew.com/article/2015/03/25/walking-dead-finale-gale-anne-hurd-promises-sad-losses?) and why Daryl Dixon must die (http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2015/03/27/daryl_dixon_should_get_killed_off_in_the_walking_dead_season_finale.html).
