Can’t stand the new character Orson


Love this show, been a fan since day 1, but ever since ‘Orson’ has been introduced, my love for the show has diminished. I have no idea why the writers gave such an uninteresting character with no personality so much screen time. He’s so forgettable I wish I could forget him but unfortunately the show is always shoving him in my face. And what the hell is up with the tactics he uses during conflicts? Instead of outsmarting or doing whatever is necessary to his antagonists, he straight up ignores them. He even says it out loud as if it’s a catch phrase he should be proud of. That’s not good writing; it’s lazy and anticlimactic. The off chance he doesn’t ignore, he tells them they are melting down. There’s no build up to the meltdown, no scene showing what caused the meltdown, he just says they had meltdowns and I guess we’re all suppose to buy it. Just awful.

The one thing I can’t stand the most, however, is the show constantly telling us he’s the greatest character of all time without actually showing why that is. Nothing he does showcases anything great about him. In fact, it does the opposite.

Fingers crossed Bentley finally kills him off once and for all.

Who is Orson? I can't think of any Orson?
I had the same feeling about the phony doctor. But I have to say I thought it was really phony that a doctor could masquerade inside Alexandria as a non-Whisperer.

The idea that anyone in the Whisperers has any figments of their sanity is absurd, and it would be far too ridiculous to think someone relative sane and able to fit into society would be willing to kill people for Alpha. This show has gotten so brain-dead stupid it's nauseating.

Orson wasn't he killed in the 3rd season as the zombies feasted on him dying near the river where the show is filmed?
