To me, this season still hasn't met the bar set by S1 and the back half of S2, but it's certainly miles ahead of S3 and 4. Last few episodes were pretty solid.

The show's at its best when it's dealing with crises. Character development and overall writing still need some work. And as cliche as it is, people need to die.

wait, what?

Ratsky! I don't think I ever heard your opinion of the finale!

did u rike it? :D

I'll admit I was enjoying it more than I thought I would for the first 80% of the episode but those last 20 minutes are what really sold me, particularly how swiftly, mercilessly and with no hesitation or expressed emotion Rick executed Pete. sogud

Also, upon a couple more viewings and reading around, I noticed there was a great deal of cool symbolism and little touches in almost every scene that I missed during my first viewing.

I'd rank it as a tie with Season 2 as my second favorite finale(s). Season 4's finale (uncut version, of course) is still my #1.
 
Finally got a chance to watch the finale.

Fantastic.
Lincoln continues to absolutely nail everything. Give that man an Emmy nom, at least.
 
Just watched the final 2 episodes of the season. Pretty good stuff. What a swing in quality from the awful and completely pointless first half of the season.

Carol remains the best character on the show. I'm glad more people are finally realizing that.

Following the record-breaking season 5 finale of The Walking Dead, today brings news that Stephen King has been tapped for season 6. An avid Walking Dead fan himself, Stephen is thrilled to announce that he has agreed to write an episode. What can fans expect? Here’s what Stephen has to say about the direction he plans to take:

“I’ve been asked to write the opening series of Season 6, where three major characters are to be killed off. No spoilers, but one of them carries a crossbow.”

More information to come.

All I saw on Reddit was "Stephen King to write episode of The Walking Dead" and got really excited.

So it totally got me :(
It would be awesome though.

Totally awesome.

A new male character would be introduced who happens to be a former writer.

The episode would have every character up and pack and drive up to Maine to live there instead.

Rick would go crazy, grab an axe, and chase Carl around town and eventually forcing him to hide out in a hotel.

Would be a great episode for sure.

Stephen King does religious nuts jobs great. Gabriel would totally form a doomsday cult and try to take over Alexandria.

What? You think Rick's group should have killed "many of them"? Why? That makes no sense.

That's the kind of finale you wanted?

The build-up was leading to a shift in leadership, not a massacre/take over. Deanna telling Rick to kill Pete was a clear indication that, at least IMO, she realized he was right and that her idealistic way of survival can't work


Right... kill a bunch of them...

wait, what?

I think I was a bit naive when I thought Alexandria people would put up a fight against the newcomers. Especially when it was teased by Rick when he said "if they don't go willingly we will take it by force" (not the exact line I know).

When you realize some people feel like bloodshed, main characters dying, and big fights are the only way to raise the stakes or for it not to be a boring show, then it's clear why some think the show sucks.

I am not one of those people though.
My concern was this was leading up to be a clash between Rick's group and Alexandria, when in reality they have taken over little by little every aspect of that community, which made the boss lady acknowledge the fact that the utopian world she thought she was leading just simply isn't.
 
The town is perfectly capable of handling zombies without Rick's group, but they're woefully prepared for human antagonists like the Governor or those "W" guys. They would have allowed the latter to walk right through the gates and welcomed them into their little homes.

They weren't even prepared to handle zombies. That was thoroughly demonstrated by Diana's stupid son and the construction crew collapsing under an attack.

I doubt it. Considering that the community lost people in the past due to Alexandrians being cowards, has a rule of leaving people behind, and people like Aiden making stupid decisions like playing loud music while out on a run and catching walkers to get payback, I doubt they could handle walkers

I don't think they're prepared to handle anything. Like Rick or one of the others said, all these people should be dead. The apocalypse would have wiped them out if they hadn't been lucky enough to be behind those walls and have all those supplies. They don't know how to survive in this new world. Can they be taught how to survive? Maybe. I'm assuming with Rick and Carol running things that they'll put them all through a zombie survival boot camp.

True, they've had some mishaps, but Rick's group has suffered some losses along the way, too. I don't think the town would have survived or found the means to sustain itself (e.g., supply runs, finding other survivors, etc.) that long if they were completely inept. I think they would have done just fine and grown without the help of Rick's group if not for the human threat.

I have serious doubts they could handle a herd. The odd wandering walker they seem okay with.

They just seem lucky at this point, obviously that's about to change.

The Wolves are at the gates, or soon will be, and they like to use walkers as weapons. I wouldn't be surprised if they lead a herd to the gates.

That final scene was great. Morgan being loony is what brings Rick into sanity last time he went bonkers. In the final shot of the season we see Morgan being sane (and a badass) meeting Rick who is now loony.


What if Morgan turns out to be an engineer?

He did deck out the surroundings of his house with traps like it was Sunset Overdrive.

Rick isn't loony any more, IMO, but it seems he's assumed the same totalitarian posture exhibited on the night before the group found the prison.

I finally watched the last episode and I couldn't believe it, they finally had the zombies making noise when they were sneaking up on someone instead of being dead silent, they just had to have the characters fighting each other so they wouldn't notice them.
