OT: Walker Alert - Who's getting it edition

[Uncle Ruckus]

Well, going by recent history, it's not goin to be Darryl. He's announced to be on the Talkig Dead with a surprise cast member.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Hold on to your sweet ***!

I'm picking Glenn (to go down)...Maggie cut her hair, and got ready for whatever...

I don't read the comics! 90min show, I expect a ton of commercials, like last time.

Should be Intense!

 

[11thEagleFan]

My head says Daryl gets the axe (ummm... bat), my heart says Glenn. Either way, Negan will be truly HATED in less than 2 hours.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I think it will be Carol

 

[The Maroon Pug]

I agree, Carol's head gets turned into mashed potatoes

 

[PBRME]

Mr pacifist is going to try to convince negan people can change. He's going to be another photo.

 

[msstate7]

That was a really weird scene

 

[The Maroon Pug]

The Savior's whistling was super creepy

 

[msstate7]

Garbage

 

[PBRME]

That was some ******** ending.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

The whole scene was awesome until the ending. 17ing stupid. You don't have to have a cliff hanger for every season ending. 17.

 

[rugbdawg]

That was worthless. What a **** episode. Horrible.

 

[Tin Cup Cowboy]

17 you, you SOBs

6 months

 

[msstate7]

That was some ******** ending.

Yep. This show is falling off big time

 

[Tin Cup Cowboy]

I wouldn't say that - but for a cutting edge show, that was the easy way out.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

17 them!

I/we deserve better.

 

[11thEagleFan]

17ing ******** ending. When you promise something that huge, you better deliver. Cliffhangers can be good, but you just pissed off your whole fan base.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

IMO, those Bastards just lost their audience

17 this ****!

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Just inexcusable.

 

[LawDawg97]

Awful writing

17 this ****!

Now whoever died will get leaked before the next season and ruin all the buildup that could've made this episode epic. How do these dipshit producers get this work? That could've been the greatest episode. Instead we get a campy 70s slasher flick POV with fake blood running down the screen. 17 that!

 

[PBRME]

Exactly. It will get leaked. That was not the time for a ******* cliff hanger.

Par for the course with this show. It's just not that good.

 

[MSUDC11]

The season-long build to Negan...

The perfect casting of Jeffrey Dean Morgan...

That incredible monologue....

All of it was just pissed away. Ruined the best moment in the comics for a completely unnecessary cliffhanger.

And why? It's already the most watched show on cable. People would've come back just for Negan, and viewership probably would've gone up anyway.

But now they've just infuriated their entire fanbase. And ruined what could've been one of the most in comic moments in TV history.

Completely agree. They could have crushed the finale but instead they pulled a play from Cohenz and bunted to next season.

 

[CrookedLetta4Eva]

It's Darryl. Norman Reedus has a new show starting in June. He was on Talking Dead.

 

[rugbdawg]

It's not Daryl. They make too much money off of his character.

 

[msstate7]

It's Darryl. Norman Reedus has a new show starting in June. He was on Talking Dead.

I think there's zero chance Daryl dies before he kills Dwight. Dwight has stolen daryl's motorcycle, crossbow, killed the doctor with daryl's crossbow, captured Daryl, and shot Daryl... Daryl is gonna kill Dwight.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Dont hold your breath for that happening.

 

[Cousin Jeffrey]

Daryl killing Dwight would be a pretty large departure from the comic, going forward. Of course, Daryl doesn't even exist in the comic, so I don't guess that really matters.

The way they did it, they don't even have to know yet who died. They have a few months to figure that out, which would be lame.

I hope they stay true to the comic. But there were three characters there who are expendable, in my opinion. Two don't exist in the comic (Daryl and Sasha) and one other has already died by this point in the comic (Abraham). So they could choose any of those three and not upset the story going forward. That would be a cop out, in my opinion. And I bet they take that route. I'm gonna say Abraham was the one who met Lucille.

 

[SwampDawg]

Well, I feel the same way, but this damn show is addictive. I'll be tuning in next time.

 

[Tin Cup Cowboy]

I think it was Eugene or Abraham. They've spent a lot of time in the last 4-5 episodes making their characters more likable.

It still baffles me why they did something this stupid. All they had to do was show who it was, Negan standing over the person and then cut to that crazy-*** look Rick gets and then go to the credits. Perfect ending and people would have been talking about it for months with anticipation. Now people are just pissed that they built it up for weeks and didn't deliver.

 

[MSUDC11]

If there's anything this show has taught me about itself, it's two things:

1. They either water down and drag out every good idea or kill it before it ever gets going.

2. The main characters are untouchable.

Fully believe it's going to be Abraham or Eugene, which is an enormous waste of this death. Needs to be someone hugely important, and neither of those characters are that.

But I no longer trust the writers of this show. There's an understanding between showrunners and a show's audience that tricks will be played sometimes, but they will never become bigger than or get in the way of good storytelling.

TWD seems to not care about that. Grabbing viewers and pulling tricks has become bigger to them than telling a great story and keeping their fans' trust.

 

[philduckworth]

clearly Eugene. He gave the plans for the bullets to Rick and had the bro hug with Abraham.

I loved the final episode. Everything about it. You guys sound like children.

 

[Dawgzilla]

If anyone should be upset about the cliffhanger, its the actors. Lauren Cohan (Maggie) said that not even the actors knew he was killed. So, they get a hiatus, knowing that one of them has lost their job. But the unemployed actor won't know until shooting picks up again and their only scene is one of them laying on the ground dead.

I hope it was Carl, but only because we know it wasn't Judith.

 

[PBRME]

Eugene gave up the bullet directions and Abraham knows where to get the supplies. Could point to Eugene.

 

[MSUDC11]

I didn't think it needed to be a 90 minute episode.

The Saviors herding them was mostly fine for me. And I LOVED Negan's monologue. Such a cool character, and JDM is a great casting choice.

For me, the Carol and Morgan stuff missed the mark. Just never felt important. And the cliffhanger waters down Negan's debut.

All they had to do was very briefly show the victim's face. You would still have a cliffhanger, it would just be "wow is so and so really dead?" That would've been great.

The problem is that they've backed themselves into a corner now. How do you film a season, release a trailer, and do all kinds of marketing after that scene without giving away who survived? There's no way this doesn't get spoiled over the summer. And this death deserves much better treatment than that.

When I originally read about the potential cliffhanger possibility, I wasn't happy....and when it went down last night, I wasn't surprised at all. But then I watched Kirkman & Gimple's explanation on The Talking Dead & understood. Kirkman also said there were lots of hints in last night's show about who it was.

Then I got on Facebook, and saw where Chris Hardwick was doing a 30 minute live stream after the show...it was very good, and I would suggest you go
watch it.

We know it wasn't Carl. Negan said so himself.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Please god, anyone but Eugene.

He's the only real comic relief (with a bit coming from Abraham) and those are far and away my 2 favorite characters. Unfortunately, I'm about 50/50 between the death being Glen and Abe.

"Virgina is for lovers" was my favorite scene in the entire show, and all he did was stand there eating a damn cookie.

I just can't think of any hints unless they are referring to the ridiculously obvious ones (Eugene's sacrificial send-off or Abraham sticking his neck out as if he wanted to take one for the team). But nothing surprises me. A good hint is supposed to be so subtle you miss it the 1st time.
