Horrible choice by the writers imo to leave that as a 6-8 month cliffhanger


By the time next season starts the buildup just won't be the same as it was in that moment. Trolling the fans again too.


BS IMHO.

Other than that it was pretty good. The Negan roll was pretty good. Trolling the fans was dumb though. Did they show a commercial for a new show with Daryl in it? The only thing we know for sure is that it wasn't Rick or Carl.

Huge fan of the show, AMC blew it, can't believe the disrespect for the comic fans... I mean they really seem oblivious to what the fans would like the show to be like. They should have shown us the 1s death, and then Negan should have said... "Well, that wasn't half bad was it? I'm not fucking done yet and then show the 1st person POV to a mystery second victim. That's win/win, you reward the viewer with a 1st death and have their cliffhanger.

It wasn't Glenn or Maggie because after the first blow there wasn't a scream.

my guess is Abraham or Darryl

I thought it was fine, I was ok with it and kinda expecting it, have you guys never watched a show where there was a cliffhanger? Its the norm in my lifetime

My guess is Abe, especially when he said 'you took that first one like a champ' or something like that, anyone else would have dropped

I think it would have been fine too, if they hadn't already done it with Glenn and then Daryl the episode before. There really was no point to shooting Daryl in the last episode.

I think it was Abe too, it was almost like he was volunteering.

And I doubt it was Glenn, Robert Kirkman has the liberty to stray off the path of the comics and change things kinda like a 'What If' comic Marvel used to do, he can fuck with our heads as long as it still brings in viewers/money to AMC which is a reason I seriously doubt Darryl gets killed

If it was Aaron no one would even care. That would be too easy. I'm guessing Glenn, Abraham or Eugene. I lean Glenn

Good season overall, but aside from Negan's speech, the last episode was pretty dreadful.

I think Abraham.....know in the comics it was Glenn, but Abraham would make more sense..... Negan can see the connection between Glenn and Maggie and he can use that..... Abraham is physically stronger than all of them and to have him go down would demoralize the whole group..... Plus they lose a big protector..... I think it makes sense to take him out first from Negan's point of view....I been wrong before though.

I disagree. Up until last night rick and the gang have killed Negan's men with ease. Last night's episode did a great job of showing just how powerful Negan's group was, it was like a group of killer whales playing with a baby seal. By the end of the episode, as a viewer, I was feeling helpless and hopeless. If they would have just ended it without the cliffhanger and showed who they killed, the season would have ended with an "Empire Strikes Back" moment. Instead of thinking about the hopelessness and how they're in way over their head, the viewers left pondering over who got killed, which shouldn't have overshadowed the introduction of the show's biggest villain.

I really didn't care for any of it. It wasn't one of TWD finer moments. Personally I'm getting tired of the Carol and Morgan shit. They also tried too hard to build up the tension with the road blocks every direction they tried. Then they used the oldest trick in the book from the horror movies and had them run through the woods listening to that annoying whistling, right to where all of the bad guys happen to be waiting. I also don't like a show taking the lazy way out and the "wait for 6 months and then we'll tell you who got whacked." It would have been far more impactful to have seen the death and then everyone would have talked about for 6 months instead of pissing off the masses of your audience and showing an RV driving in circles and a ton of commercials for 80 minutes. And then quickly introducing Negan before a weak cliffhanger ending...
