2. Morales' Pointless Return

Morales' return last week was fan-service, but the kind that at least answered a long-running mystery and brought back a character fans have long been wanting to see more of.

Naturally, then, he's killed off almost immediately. After a bit of seemingly endless monologuing that would his master Negan proud, Morales is taken out by Daryl and that's all she wrote.

He was never going to show up after so many years away and suddenly become a main character, but bringing him back just to kill him off in the next episode still feels like an absolute waste.
