While The Walking Dead has always posed moral questions to the audience about what's right and what's wrong, it's been quite some time since we've asked ourselves whether the heroes of the series are, in fact, the villains. This is mainly due to Negan, who's arrival made a clear distinction between the good guys and the bad guys.

However, with no obvious antagonist in the midst, the show has decided to highlight conflict from within. Rick, who is one of the most developed characters on TWD, is trying his best to lead the several settlements to glory, but his newfound positivity is perhaps a little too optimistic, which is why many survivors - including some of his friends - are revolting.

As a result, we're questioning who is right and who is wrong once more. Daryl, for example, raises quite a few questions, all of which are justified. It's not easy fighting along side the Saviors - especially after what they did to Glenn Abraham, and Sasha - but should he forgive and forget for the sake of the future?

Rick sure seems to think so. The protagonist of the series wants to put it all in the past and move on, which is a bit idealistic, but his intentions are admirable. Which one is right? We haven't quite figured that one out yet.
