TWD: What were the writers thinking by fast forwarding 7 years later and not killing off Rick Grimes?

Don't get me wrong, Rick Grimes is one of my favorites along with Negan. But fast forwarding 7 years later is just plain stupid.

First we had 3 years in the same year and they just have flew this season with the years. It needed a time jump but this was wild. I’m wondering if they will use the missing years as their fill ins with the movies they are going to make?

@Keepitsimple I don't know but it's going to be weird, Ricks daughter is all grown up. WTH!!!

Not sure I'll like it, but I'm addicted to the show .. so we shall see.

That was so weird!!! Wasn’t it??? 12 years old and dressed in a little piece of Rick, Carl and Michonne! @Synyster

@Synyster yah.....I can't say I agreed with Judith at that age, shooting walkers at that distance through the woods with a pistol. I hope they don't get too big headed and turn this kid in to something unrealistic. Personally, I think she should have been introduced in some other manner---but that's just me.

@Freeranger I agree. She's like a junior leader and already breaking Michones rules.

Man, Carol's a bad ass, burning those saviors. ha! That's something Negan has done.

@Synyster like they say "flame broiled is better than frying." And how about Father Gabriel.......the dude is a STUD! Must be something about that albino eye.

@Freeranger Haha! I know, making out with Rosita, the guy is a stud. lol
