Similarly, the tragic arc for Saddiq (Avi Nash) – culminating with his brutal murder, in a scene that in some ways paralleled a moment in “Saving Private Ryan” – marked a sobering loss of a regular character, in a way that the show’s occasional casualties haven’t in quite a while. Specifically, the arc this season involving Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), and his escape and solo adventures, has been a considerable highlight, including his interaction with what amounted to a Negan fanboy, forcing him to confront his own ruthless past. Still, the recent twists have carried more of a wallop, breathing some life into the show, if not bringing it back to its peak. The ongoing conflict between the core players and the creepy contingent known as the Whisperers has dragged on and on, with no immediate end in sight. That wasn’t entirely true of Sunday’s midseason finale, but it did feature a few arresting moments, before ending with the requisite cliffhanger to lure viewers back in 2020. “The Walking Dead” has ambled through recent years like a punch-drunk zombie, which has turned the 10th season into something of a bounce-back campaign.
