Yes, this! Seriously, what a letdown for an awesome scene.

I honestly thought the whole episode was fantastic. Until the fadeout and the blood running down the camera lens and the whole cheap garbage OH WOW IT'S FUCKING NOTHING moment at the end.

 

[RS4-]

Haha 90 mins ep, 15 of which was not filler.

Fucking christ.

 

[timetokill]

I can't wait for the victim reveal scene so that the Internet can do its thing and splice the two scenes together so we can have the full scene in all its glory.

The tension was amazing...just need the pay off.

I wouldn't be surprised if they never actually filmed it, and next season they just come into the aftermath.

 

[Leeness]

hope the season starts with just a shot of this gory mess of a bashed in skull and we can sorta make out who it is

That, plus the surviving cast crying and Negan leaving.

I wouldn't be surprised if they never actually filmed it, and next season they just come into the aftermath.

Same, especially since the "beating" just happened, but as long as we get a body with a crushed skull on the ground, that's fine, I guess.

Also Aaron feels like the oddman out for a reason. Easiest cop out.

Heath was in Aaron's place in the comics, so we got an Alexandrian character switch!

Me too. I loved the Morgan and Carol moments, and the whole Negan scene was incredible, the ending though. Welp.

We see a lot of light near Carl Aaron Rick and Eugene but not near Daryl Abraham Glenn. I feel like Carl is behind him because he nods To behind his shoulder. So he's looking toward Daryl and others.

theyll probably fuck that up too by using a dog or something
after tonight no one should have any faith in AMC ever again

 

[neoism]

literally the only reason they did this was because they want s7 opener to have the most viewers ever... i understand that but writing like that is just shitty...


just a meeh finale with no pay off....

not watching the FTWD soo im dun... even though it wont i hope the writers stop being chicken shits and the episodes dont look over produced next season.. the show was better on a smaller budget

 

[RS4-]

That reminds me, now I can still go on that thought a couple seasons back about Morgan becoming a certain character.

What's that? They really need to crack down on spoilers (if this is one)

While I'm in uncharitable mood, it seemed that Negan's plan relied a lot on Maggie being severely ill and needing an ObGyn. Otherwise they might have just turned around at the first check point.
"checkpoint 3 come in, they turned around and went home"
"err we just spent a weeks worth of gas moving tree trunks into a wall, and poured another weeks worth of gas on it. Should we still set it on fire? "
And I understand how they might predict whuch roads they would take, but how could they predict that they would end up in that specific clearing, it's not like they guided them in any direction until the very end.

Pretty sure people were on their way to alexandria anyways

 

[Sriefer]

Yeah, sorry.

Spoiler

They are another group. The ones who took the horse from Morgan.

Go read the comic. It is great! Most of the volumes are on sale at comixology for cheap.

Tag that please! You will likely be banned. If not, keep anything not in the show in the spoiler thread, as explicitly stated in the OP and elsewhere.

 

[Nazgul_Hunter]

Alright. I'm gonna write the next two episodes for AMC:

7x01: 75 minutes of Morgan and carol debating mortality. Episode ends on them looking at the began aftermath. Closeup on carols horrified face as she screams out.

7x02: Rick naking his way back to Alexandria has flashbacks of everything that made everyone special in his life. We find out who dies when Rick writes their name on the city wall

While I'm in uncharitable mood, it seemed that Negan's plan relied a lot on Maggie being severely ill and needing an ObGyn.

Actually it more depended on everyone getting pissy and out of character and leaving Alexandria for no good reason other than to advance the plot

 

[Catdaddy]

Can't wait until S7E6 to find out who it was.. I can totally see them string it along.. 5 episodes of backstory then, oh yeah..here's who got splat.

Talked Dead was awkward, and the we did it cause we like cliffhangers shit. Then comparing to the hatch in Lost

 

[Volimar]

Chris should have made them pinky swear to tell us in the first episode. Please don't drag it out.

7x02: Rick naking his way back to Alexandria has flashbacks of everything that made everyone special in his life. We find out who dies when Rick writes their name on the city wall

That sounds too plausible. TAKE IT BACK!

gimple pretty much admitted they cannot fuck up the premier. He said it's up to them to justify the cliffhanger.

I'ma be real. I'm disappointed it got cliffhangered, it would have been amazing to see it after that intense build up. Blue balls is not a good thing in any universe. I'm not super upset though. Walking Dead comes back pretty fast in october and I'll see how the premier is. But it was definitely manipulative no matter how much they try to justify it.

I aint that mad though. This show is just popcorn to me and that's why I likes it. Cheesy bad cliffhanger? That's a marquee of some popcorn entertainment. But it can be disappointing because sometime this show has glimpses of something more. See you in october beetches. Should be an interesting season.

man I'm still pissed. Imagine if on GoT they cut away at the red wedding before you know who died and made that a whole off season wait. Book readers would have been furious, the best moment ruined. That's what happened here.

Hahah they have no idea who they're going to kill yet. They chickened out of doing anything interesting.

Yeah that was weird to me too.

 

[Laz-E-Boy]

Yep, done watching the show. Nothing to look forward to after they screwed this up. The whole season, although solid, had questionable writing. The Glenn mess was especially bad but this is just...it's not even infuriating just disappointing. It could have been so much more. If stuff like this is a prelude of what's to come there's no point in me watching.

Shame really, I liked JDM's Negan. I'll probably youtube clips of his scenes in the future and read the season and spoiler threads. I'll spend most of my time watching Sunday Night Football again and whatever else is on at that time.

All those who liked this decision, have fun with the rest of the show. No sarcasm, genuinely mean that.

This is basically what I feel as well. I'm disappointed and a bit upset because the Negan scene was REALLY GOOD until the cliffhanger, but yeah, it's popcorn, it's fun, I'll be back, see you in October.

I fully expect to see the scene play out again but this we will see the actual killing. No way they open on a smashed head.

Also, it's clearly not Rick or Carl, so that narrows it down by two. ha.

We both know it won't be. They're pushing Abraham pretty hard and ****** had the dummy made up on instagram. It should be the way it was in the comic. Exactly how it was. That would keep people talking on that GoT, Red Wedding/Beheading scene. This is just junk.

andy lincoln is putting on an acting clinic especially tonight. It's a damn shame he'll never get recognition. That defeated look, the look of bewilderment. Brilliant.

Oh come on AMC!!! Don't do that shit!!!

Obviously in the minority here, but I thought it was a very good episode. Way better than the majority of the first half of the season. So many wasted scenes and plotlines.

Between this and BvS, I swear GAFFERS just want to hate things. It probably helps that I actively try to enjoy everything I consume, watch, listen to, or participate in.

they fucked up the finale, i have no faith in them to not fuck up the premiere. Knowing how the TWD is somehow we aren't going to know who it was till the end of the episode. Like it's going to be a flash forward or some shit. And even if they started out showing who died then it's "oh it was him/her"

Yeah, doing it as a cliffhanger sucked but right now I'm just taking it as disappointment.The rest of the ep was real good.

Should have guessed the cliffhanger. They always tend to resolve the previous season on the first episode of the next season.

Pretty lame though considering important of a plot line this is in the series.
