This season of The Walking Dead has been spinning its wheels on a few narrative fronts, but none more frustratingly than the alleged search for Sophia, who’s been missing since the season premiere. She’s not in the woods, she’s not out in the burbs, she’s not near the highway — and thus our intrepid group of survivors, including two former law-enforcement officers, must constantly come up with new ways to search for her. Or more important, new ways to talk about searching for her. Poor Carol: The whole search could have taken a mere two minutes.
