I like how they symbolicly had Carol and Morgan traveling in opposite directions near the end.
Morgan will go off the deep end on this pacifist BS I'm afraid.
I think Morgan reached peace when he changed his philosophy to all lives matter. But he is quickly realizing the situation they face doesn't always allow that type of compassion. I think it'll turn into his road to travel and he will eventually come around to where Rick and Carol are in the show. He is a badass when he needs to be. But he needs to get over trying to save everybody.
Yes, I think his realization that some people cannot be saved is the fact that he saved (let live) the wolf from the last season finale, and as a result that guy and his group caused lots of death in Alexandria. That is why he ultimately killed that guy. He is seeing the light, but it is not going to be easy for him.
Similarly, I think killing everybody without any thought is starting to affect Carol. While she totally wants to detach herself from the act because she is doing what she has to to survive, her humanity is making her want to have some compassion. I don't think she is going to change, but I would not be surprised at some point if she doesn't kill somebody who could be a threat because she sees the possibility of redemption for them.
