The Walking Dead Season 8 Finale: Every Dumb Moment, Ranked Bad To Worst

4. Morgan Regains His Sanity Out Of Nowhere

Despite Lennie James easily being one of the best actors on the show, Morgan has been one of TWD's most inconsistent characters. It's been compelling to watch him go from ridiculous Terminator-style killing machine one minute to peaceful monk the next, but the reasons for his sudden 180 character turns are never as convincing as they should be.

However, in the season finale the writers gave up entirely on explaining his shift in personality. For the past 16 episodes, and even in the early parts of this episode (where he almost accidentally kills a child and is hallucinating that people he's murdered are haunting him from beyond the grave, no less), Morgan is depicted as being more psychotic than ever.

It's a state we've seen the likes of Carol and Rick fail to talk him down from, despite their constant efforts and persuasive arguments. All it takes here though is Jesus telling him to maybe, you know, not stab everyone he sees. Like he's talking to a child, he explains that Morgan should use the pointy end of his staff for walkers, and the blunt for people, and this will somehow sort him out.

Low and behold, it actually works, and by the end of the episode Morgan is more sane than he's ever been. Coincidentally just in time for his appearance on Fear The Walking Dead...
