OT: Walker Alert - Who's getting it edition

[J-Dawg]

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

Part of me thinks that was all a set up to get people to think it was Eugene. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt that they could come up with less obvious foreshadowing for the departure of a series regular.

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.

maybe the character is so insignificant if they showed the death it wouldn't have had an emotional impact such as Rosita.

If negan busted rosita's head, the show is totally unbelievable unless negan is gay

I'm almost surprised he didn't offer

to let her join his harem. Since, you know, he actually has one, made up mostly of the wives and girlfriends of his men. Because he's a swell guy.

He will probably kill Rosita and have a tongue-kiss with that guy that looks like he's from a GAP ad.

It can't be Eugene because of where they were kneeling

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

Eugene was on the end to Carl's left or Negan's right while he was facing the group. When Negan is standing before the vicitm, he mentions Carl and motions to his right towards Carl. If Negan was standing in front of Eugene, he would have had to motion the other way for Carl.

I think it's Glenn. His death plays too much into the story. My second guess is Abraham. They really played up his choice to start "Living". Third guess would be Daryl simply because they said it was a beloved character.

I really think we got robbed of the most pivotal kill of the series. They should have shown the full violence of Negan by showing every swing of the bat and crush of the skull then showed the victims body crumpled on the ground and faded to black with the screams of the other characters in the background. That would have had a HUGE impact.

They really watered down Negan's vocabulary and they hurt his character. Take away the brutal kill and Negan really doesn't seem as bad on TV as he would have with the language and the skull crushing kill.

And actually, their cop out of a cliffhanger really left us not knowing for sure someone actually died. Yes, we believe someone did because that's what happened in the comic and because some guys said so on an after show. But Negan did say he didn't want to kill anyone and he said he was going to be the holy hell out of someone but he never said he was going to kill. So, it could be another "Glenn under the dumpster" deal. We know it's not but that option is still there. Had they shown the kill, we would have no doubt and we would all hate Negan!!
