TWD has a problem with writing believable baddies. They start off ok but every time they descend into cartoon baddie territory, all stupid swagger and no smart cunning which would have got the character to their position of power in the first place, ending up with a steady stream of unrewarding and unbelievable events.
Hornsby becomes another in that stream as he starts to yell "do it" at his minions, motivations become cloudy and silly, and we get another disappointment, in a multiple series spiral of disappointments.
Leah ended up going nowhere too. What was with her suddenly having a team of 'disposable red shirt' ninjas at her command? Where did they come from? Were they just some of Hornsby's storm trooper fan club with their white bits taken off?
What was the shoot out with Darryl, Aaron and Gabriel? Aaron took a hit to the shoulder but luckily it was just a through and out flesh would that Gabriel's hankie could fix. All better now.
Confusing cluttered and illogical. Team WD in effect.
