I feel like for a show based on such a great series of books, with an amazing cast and great set design, great special effects etc. - the writing is incredibly weak post-season 1, resulting in the nullification of GRRMs themes (war and violence are strangely glorified on the show as opposed to their horrific depictions in the books), plot contrivances, one-liners meant to be seen as "badass" or "quipy", misplaced pathos and stories that frankly don't seem to adhere to any logical sense (like S6 Arya).
A lot of people hate on Tyresse's death but I found it to be really sad as well. Him seeing all those people before he died. Rick, Michonne, Glenn, and Noah trying to get him back in time before he bleeds out. Then he just decides to give in and die
I loved that episode. Probably the death that got me the most. Also, (S7 episode 1 spoilers)
From what I have read of the first episode, it appears to be aiming for the same style as Tyrese's death episode with hallucinations and a psychedelic visual experience reflecting Rick's harrowing state as Negan attempts to break him.
Having it be Maggie would be an exceptionally bold decision, to the point that I rather doubt that they would actually go through with it. It would provide the necessary impact without being costly from a ratings or commercial standpoint in the same manner that choices like Michonne or Daryl would be, yet I still don't picture them being willing to deal with the inevitable outcry resulting from such a choice.

Oh the agony of having to wait to see the episode until I get off of work and putting myself on Social Media blackout until I get home.

Should be interesting. I know it won't be the case but I miss seeing plenty of zombie action that the earlier seasons had. Every episode now is just a brief appearance of zombies killed in obscure ways for humour.
Definitely, his or Hershel's for me at least. Yep, I'm really excited to see it all play out.

The thought of seeing one of the main characters that's been around since season 2 get beaten to death until there's no head left but brain spaghetti.
Maggie please don't die.

I'm thinking it will be glenn and maggie as well. Glenn gets the bat, Maggie gets shot after trying to stop negan. Perhaps she survives and has to lay, bleeding, watching glenns skull get caved in, as she's powerless to do anything about it.
I'm not going to be to handle this shit. Gonna need a lot of booze and green to numb myself beforehand lol.
Fuck that would be horrible to see.

I'm leaning towards Maggie as being the one to face Lucille and I think that's the one that would carry the biggest impact as well, outwith Rick or Carl.
Being in the UK im going to need to avoid the internet all day tomorrow, going to be tough to try and not get this spoiled!

Wouldn't be much of balls if they killed Maggie to be honest. She's just the love interest for Glenn.
Now balls would be Rick or Daryl. Let's see the ratings recover after that.
And if its true they recorded 11 death scenes for the characters I hope they include those on the DVD so I can make my own season premiere and kill who I want.
It's more the matter of the balls to go through with having the villain bludgeon a pregnant woman to death with a baseball bat in graphic detail. The impact stemming from the shock value of such a decision, rather than anything concerning popularity of the character.
There's zero chance of it being Rick.

A sick part of me now wants this to happen.
I wouldn't be that shocked to be honest. WD is the master of ending on cliff hangers then following with shitty story-line you don't care about lol.

This show is underrated critically. So many haters. Watching S5 and S6 leading up to the finale and this is top tier stuff.

It's going to be Daryl. All signs point to him. The actor that plays Rick says to have someone close by when you watch it, and it will be hard. Not to mention the fact Norman has been doing other things like a video game, a tv show and a movie. The guy has moved on.
I predicted Daryl or Glen myself, either will be hard to watch go out that way.
Glenn should have been dead twice already.

It's ok. I think I saw a dumpster nearby.

I fucking love Negan. Hope they do him justice. He's probably my favorite character in the series.

I'm gonna guess Eugene gets it. Second guess is Abe.
I will be stunned if they off one of the major characters.

They kind of owe us Glen. The dumpster stuff was bs. I'm ready for him to dance with lucille.
This.
Good to know that at least the two actual best characters (Carol and Morgan) are relatively safe.

Why does he wear the mask!?
If it was him, they should've done it last season instead of that bullshit cliffhanger

Very long, we have the all out war arc to look forward to still
(if they do it justice)
Good. Love me some jeffrey.
He would have made a great Rick too. I wonder if they had him in mind when casting Rick.
