Does man devolve into a primal state and as the remembering generation dies off is all knowledge lost like the library at Alexandria? What part of the human soul and spirit survives and how is humanity changed? And how much longer can millions of rotting zombies sustain themselves (they should be piles of decomposing goo by now)? Why is no one even bothering to look for a cure anymore, and what does that say about mankind?

Disagree. The story does not need a end game - all the good guys kill all the bad guys and then look at the rising sun together, symbolizing the rebirth of civilization, only better this time?

It is about coping with a changed world. It is the ongoing history of Earth. The journey is what is important, not the destination.

nah, it needs an end game or people will get bored and stop watching.

If they drag out the Negan story line for more than a year and then we just basically have a repeat of Negan, I give this show two more years, max.
