I don't think that's going to happen. . .
I think that all of us have accepted the fact that this show has less-than-perfect writing. It's really odd to see so many different people all agree on that, especially for a popular show. I do not know if the poorer and obvious story structure is because of the writing team, producers, or a combination. But there have been too many times when the show just got mucked up by something implausible. I understand that several important people have been replaced as the show has continued on, and that the show's budget has been reduced at least once. Maybe that has had negative effects on the storyline too, I don't know. But hey, zombies.
I have a theory (which is not original to me) that shows have a story going in and they revise the story as things change. For example, Lost was probably a story about purgatory until the creators realized they could parlay six seasons out of it. That's my theory about Walking Dead. They can keep recycling stories and themes endlessly because people keep watching (because hey zombies). Contrast with Breaking Bad which was completely written already. Or the Wire which had the same characters but different stories (each story contained in one season). Or, to be honest, Game of Thrones (which won't deviate from the books too much, but then you get Martin trying to drag it on... but I digress).
I thoroughly enjoyed the last episode, but most specifically the governor/Rick scene. That was possibly the best non-zombie scene of the show. You didn't get the same thing in the comics (which I do read).
