Welp, Alpert indeed called in. Internet has gone into supreme meltdown.
I'm not going to let the cliffhanger ruin anything for me. I haven't felt that much suspense on a tv show where I was basically shaking and shit for a long ass span in years.
Preach!
I thought I would not at all be ok with a cliffhanger, but the buildup, the suspense, the tension, the motherfucking terror of Jeffrey Dean Morgan walking out of that RV and taking his sweet time laying out the new world order? Six seasons watching this show, no scene got my heart racing nearly as good as that. JDM ripped Negan right off the comic pages and even added a little extra flavor to it. Fucking legend, man.
The whole episode of Rick slowly being taken down, peg by motherfucking peg off his delusional, self-righteous, pseudo-invincible high horse was fantastic. The look on his face during those last 15 minutes was satisfying and heartbreaking all at the same time.
And with the cliffhanger, I thought they did a nice job setting things up to where it'll be impossible to guess who actually gets tongue action with Lucille. To me, if it's just the one person, it has to be Daryl, Glenn, or Abraham. They might be able to get away with Eugene but nobody else's death would be able to be as impactful as is demanded by the emotional buildup. Rick and Carl are out of the question based on one of Negan's final lines. I have a good feeling they wouldn't do Maggie, Sasha, or Rosita, but if they open up Season 7 with just the aftermath and a prosthetic head bashed in without showing the brutality and grotesqueness of the Lucille beatdown then maybe it'll fly. All I know is, it can't be Aaron. It CANNOT be
just Aaron and that's it. Gimple mentioned on Talking Dead that they'll do their damnedest to justify this cliffhanger and killing off somebody like Aaron and him alone sure as shit will not be acceptable. Like somebody mentioned, if they do a double-KO with a B-tier character getting it first, Negan walking away, but then coming back for more, I'd dig it.
I'm also curious, like many others, how they'll edit the Comic Con trailer this year without giving it away or at least narrowing down the potential candidates to 2 or 3. Not to mention casting news of actors/actresses being announced for other big roles in the middle of Season 7 beginning its filming. lol
Whatever, I'm straight hooked on the next season for Jeffrey Dean Morgan alone.
I'd like to point out that if Glenn is dead, asians will literally be extinct on walking dead. I didn't even spot one in the saviour army.
lmfao
Also props to Abe for rising up when Negan had the bat pointed at him. Balls of steel.
Second only to Carl for lack of fucks for Negan in this episode. Loved both of them looking like they were just waiting for the right moment to eat his face off.
