Maybe not everyone found it so worthless.
Anyone that thought the explanation in episode six had meaning obviously didn't watch episodes four and five, where they explained the same stuff, but better because you watched it happen to two people.
But I don't think the last episode was about telling the viewers about how it happens. The way I saw it was they had all their hope set on finding answers at the CDC and there was shit. What they found was as far as anyone knows, there is no idea what exactly it is and how to stop it. and they are back to square one.
FIVE MINUTES TO HUGE HASPLOSION. (Red LED timer begins ticking backwards). Whoa! How do they come up with this stuff? Masters of their craft, these guys.
Why the hell wasn't Rick promptly capped in the hospital? The perfectly lucid hospital workers begging for their lives were suspect of being infected, but the guy in a coma with a chunk of his torso missing isn't worth a bullet? Okay.
And there was no evidence that Dale was even friends with blondie before episode 5, now the show is going to try to convince me that she's the only thing he lives for in episode 6?
You know what, show, you asked me to swallow a cast of one-dimensional cutouts as conveniently and contrivedly racially diverse as a PSA for Big Brothers & Big Sisters directed by Oprah Winfrey, and I did. But after the abortion that was episode 6, why don't you hang on to season 2.
I thought 4 and 5 were amazing, with 5 actually being the best of the series.
Them cleaning up camp, deciding what to do with the dead, Glen defending that humans who died should not be treated like geaks, the one sister crying over her dead sister and then the dramatic and awesome shooting of said sister, the one guy dying from the infection, the panic and uncertainty of whether or not to go to the CDC and then finally getting there and finding it shit fucked. Damn man, some good cinema right there.

Quote:
Executive Producer/Writer/Director Frank Darabont says, "At this moment, I'm standing on a stretch of post-apocalypse interstate in Georgia, littered with abandoned cars and blessing my good luck to be reunited with our amazing cast, and our fantastic directors and crew. Across the board, there are none better. It's great to be shooting again. I think we've embarked on a great season."
I'm sad that what started off as an awesome adaptation of the comic ended for me with horrible, horrible episode 6.
Going by the same timeline in the comics Rick's son had already killed a man. The TV show is shit.
I'm not surprised some needless tampering with a great story ended up being worse.
