The Walking Dead Season 6 Finale: 13 Things Episode 16 Got Horribly Wrong

3. The Saviours

Are the Saviours highly-skilled, advanced apocalyptic warriors? Or are they just downright buffoons roaming around the woodlands with guns and a single braincell between them? The answer: both.

Throughout Season 6, some scenes they are a no-nonsense force with real authority and power. In others they're a joke. They lost the entire satellite base - every single one of them died in the end - without taking out anybody from Rick's group, yet they're supposed to be a haunting, commanding, dominating organisation.

The finale once again showed their ups and downs. What was the real point of firing at Rick etc as they approached the walker chain? The RV was going to drive through anyway, the Saviours just showed their hand stupidly early. There's also the fact that the Saviours haven't really done anything to affect Rick's group. Flip the story, and they'd probably look fairly decent in comparison to Rick's murderous clan.
