Yes writers, like we really didn't see what you were doing when you went out of your way NOT to show him executing the cannibal.

This is why we can't have nice things on television anymore. Some PC morons decided that we can't have good television revolve around popular anti-heroes lest it drown out the rest of the trash in the media that's obsessed with altruistic ideologues that talk a big game about the "common good".
If I said it once, I've said it a thousand times, reset everything after season 4. I don't even care if they look older, just reset it for the sake of the dignity and quality that this show used to have.
