You're right, the premise of the show does lend well to additions and subtractions.
That's what was funny about his "all the redshirts are gone, so next season will have only meaningful deaths" line of thought. They're headed toward a building full of redshirts. Most of whom probably are less than redshirts. The Star Trek equivalent would be more the Klingon or Cardassian war ship crew that is obliterated by the space anomaly before the Enterprise even shows up. NON-CREWMEMBERS. That's worse than redshirts.
But the particular redshirts he was referring to stuck around for 8 frigging episodes. That is 7 and a half episodes too long.
Still, I see your point. There is always going to be fresh zombie food, and that isn't a bad thing at all.

Sort of. The character is kind of plot-fuel, but not a lot of depth.

Good question. I'd go with your explanation.

I like your idea about the two stages. If they still wanted to make bites transformative anyway.

I can see where some of his points are coming from but none of them bothered me, really
