It's going to end that way for sure. Have to wait until October to find out the outcome.

 

Which doesn't really go with what the cast have been saying. How are we supposed to be "heartbroken" and "shocked" if we don't know wtf happens :lol: So bizarre.

I don't think they would do that to us. I think that would really piss a lot of viewers off. Anyway, very anxious for tonight!

All signs lead to it. The only saving grace is apparently they've added an extra 3 minutes to the full episode that was not sent to press screenings..

"It's probably the best final moment of a season we've ever had," executive producer Robert Kirkman told The Hollywood Reporter. "It's entirely possible there's going to be a painful summer for 'Walking Dead' fans."

 

There's your confirmation about the cliffhanger ending :lol:

That was ridiculous. I didn't want Rooney to be right. So disappointed that they would end the season that way.

SEMI SPOILERS (I'm not sure it classes as a spoiler, but Zach seems to have spoiled it so I will warn incase haha)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why? It makes sense as to why they ended it that way? Surely? It gets people talking and anticipating on who it is. I don't think it takes away any of the pain or shock factor. I hate that they've done this, but I can definitely see why they have and in the way they did! I loved it personally (even if I am frustrated at it all! Lol).

 

This is the first time a TV show or film has made me heave/almost made me physically sick. When it cut off at the end, I had to pull up my bin next to me as I don't think I had time to run to the toilet. :lol:

 

That's the most suspenseful I've felt through this show, so far!

 

EDIT: Does anyone here watch 'Talking Dead'? (It's amazing, btw) Scott Gimple said that the reason for that ending was

something about it being the end of a chapter, because whoever it is that's died, it will have a knock on effect sort of and will become the start of the new chapter

 

I can't help but feel disappointed. That was a very cheap cliff hanger. ):

 

That was easily one of the most dire & horrific situations the characters have found themselves in to date, so I wish the scene had gone all the way and revealed the identity of who was on the receiving end of Lucille. I think making it a mystery ultimately lessened Negan's impact.... viewers should have been left reeling, rather than scratching their heads.

 

I just want to feel some kind of emotion for these characters again. The ambiguity has left me feeling annoyed, and kind of empty... meh.

I disagree and I'm a fan of these cheap cliffhangers and I don't think it lessens thr impact of him at all tbh.

Completely agree with Jay! The tension was unbelievable leading up to the cliffhanger, but the lack of identity reduces the impact that someone just died. The focus has turned to who died rather than the brutal nature in which it happened, which kinda spoilt the moment.

 

Very disappointing ending, when it could have been one of the show's most shocking moments.

 

I guess I was right about them having Carol leave to keep her away from the danger again like how she missed the prison showdown. I really enjoyed her and Morgan's scenes and I'm intrigued to see who those two guys are.

Well, that was bullshit.

 

 

A great episode all round right up to the last few seconds.

 

Completely agree with Jay and Burbe's points. What should and could have been a stunningly brutal ending turned in to a 'is that it?' moment.

 

TWD finally gave us a true horror show and when it came to the crunch they flinched first.

 

On the plus side Jeffrey Dean Morgan was every bit as sadistically funny and charming as I had hoped. I'll be rooting for him over Rick's dour miserableness next season.

That season finale was epic! I agree with Jonjo, I really liked the ending, it's got me soooo geared up for S7, shame about the 6 month wait... <_<

The last 10 minutes was amazing, seriously edge of the your seat stuff, but it was a cheap cliffhanger. I'm sorry but it makes no sense at all. How can they do any Season 7 promotion material when every main character bat a select few were out there. It cheapens the impact of a great death. Knew it was going to happen, but it just really pisses on the viewers, cos how they expect to keep who dies a secret for 6 months is ridiculous.

It should have been The Walking Dead's Red Wedding moment, but it wasn't!

It's ridiculous. For the record I think it is the same person that gets it in the comics. They've done the cliffhanger because they're trying to throw a spanner in the works. If it's anyone other than Michonne/Daryl/Glenn/Maggie then the show's really jumped the shark. It's a real, real cheap cliffhanger. Can't defend that at all. Such a shame, as it spoiled an otherwise great episode.

I did not marathon through six series of this for the last few months for it to end with that :( I pretty much echo everyone else's thoughts - it ruined a perfectly suspenseful moment and a great episode making up for the relative filler of the last two. Tis a pity as the season as a whole was really strong up until now and these constant stupid decisions and unfathomable actions in the last few episodes have spoiled it somewhat. I honestly thought that served the group right for being so rash and taking on the saviours in the first place.

 

In terms of the cliffhanger, it can't be Rick or Carl as Negan said 'if anyone moves, take the boy's other eye out' so he can't be beating him up (and by this, Rick too as that would be a suitable threat to Rick and it's unlikely he'd kill him that soon after 'recruiting' him). Glenn seems the logical choice because of the comics, though it did look like he picked someone in the centre while Glenn was at the end (and that wouldn't be that much of a shock given that's what happens in the comics). Maggie, Daryl and Michonne would probably just about maintain the shock, but any of the others are really not worth the six month wait (just imagine if it's bloody AARON <_< ). So there's like a...60% chance this is gonna be disappointing lol.

 

Still, a decent finale to a decent season, just hope S7 has less of the show trolling us~

 

 

 

 

The showrunner did say the way it was shot left some clues as to who it is. Watch it be f***ing Sasha or Aaron.

It can't be Sasha or Aaron, they have more to give :cry: also praying for Rosita, Daryl, and Michonne's safety

I do think it's time they kill off an original but of the four, Glenn is the last one I want to see go.

I'll say this for it, I was gripped to the screen from the moment Negan appeared until about the last 5 seconds. He was every bit as menacing as hoped for.

 

This is a cliffhanger I could have seen working, perhaps, if it was pre-Internet. Very little way for the secret to leak even over 6 months then. As it is, they are going to have a hard time on their hands. And it will eventually lessen the impact of the death of one of their major characters. I'm just imagining now how much better it would have looked if we'd seen who it was. On that, yeah, poor decision, it won't hold up in the long run and even now it's a bit meh.

 

Out of the candidates I'm 'hoping' for Glenn or Daryl, it would be a shame to lose an original but both have had their moments and Daryl especially feels rather lost as a character lately. Killing Maggie or Michonne would be a huge shock and quite impactful though. Would be very saddened if it were Abraham or Eugene but I feel they're unlikely. The rest... I would be very surprised if it were them.

I could see the perks of Daryl or Glen being killed off, on the one hand Daryl is such a fan favourite that it would have the desired effect of making people hate Negan like mega. Plus he's one of the more isolated or independent, i can't think of a word members of the group, so his death though would devastate everyone else wouldn't have a domino effect on another character per-say. Glen on the other hand, obviously directly linked to Maggie, so if they wanted her character to take a new path, or change her up a bit then that could be interesting. And also the same point about fan favourite. I'd like both to survive and it be Eugene or Abraham personally, but between Daryl and Glen, I would keep Daryl :cry:
