They can't have that scene end in a cliffhanger... Wouldn't it get spoiled in the season 7 trailer at comic con anyways? We would notice somebody missing.

I really hope we're all getting worked up over nothing--it'll be Glenn, it'll all be on screen, no "who is it" cliffhanger, not Aaron (don't get me wrong, I really like Aaron, but this can't be the death for him).
Please let everything be right in the world come finale night and Glenn's face will get smushed to a pulp.
Hopefully,you're right.I would hate for someone else to be killed by Negan.

Yeah but they still would need some reaction shots before the bat hits him
That looks like Glenns head or am i seeing things
Of course it would, it would probably be spoiled even before the trailer is released. Which is exactly why it's beyond dumb to not show who dies.

Now that I think about it, why the hell are spoilers even coming out already for an episode that's not even until next weekend? You would think AMC would be guarding this episode with their life and not letting anything leak. I'm calling bullshit on this whole thing something doesn't seem right. Early screeners not seeing the whole Lucille scene could definitely be possible.

TSDF confirmed that some of the details in the partial summary are inaccurate and corrected it. However, they couldn't confirm if the cliffhanger is legit or not. However, shortly after AMC had the post from TSDF facebook/tumblr removed.
Splitting the introduction of Negan between two fucking seasons is such a terrible idea. It totally butchers the tone of issue 100.
With Lauren Cohan recently saying “It’s the cliff-hangerest episode,” and the supposedly leaked "Lucille footage" is from the victim's POV. It may just be a cliffhanger in not knowing who dies.
I seriously hope not. It's such a terrible idea.

AMC has always been very leaky with TWD though, has it not? I remember zombie Shane leaking, zombie Sophia, a few other things. It wouldn't shock me that finale details would leak now.

Interestingly the leaked footage has a shot that perfectly matches the description from the summary. A big final swing then a cut to black. Perhaps where the screener version ends? Because in the footage, it continues

The actors are going to have a hell of a spring and summer ducking "WHO GOT KILLED????" demands from fans and paparazzo.
They definitely have been but I mean this is going to be the biggest moment in the show's run yet. And then they let it leak almost two weeks before it aires? Idk it's just weird to me especially because I remember reading something about AMC trying to hammer down on leaks getting out. I believe that most the summary is correct but I find it hard to believe that AMC and the writers would let this big of a moment be completely spoiled before next weekend.

This is the saving grace I think. I seriously hope this is the case.
If its actually a cliffhanger though... TSDF are likely going to find out who actually dies mere weeks into filming, before the trailers even launch.

Allow me to direct your attention to THIS post...
Just watched the last episode yesterday as I'm doing subtitles for TWD for my language and man I laughed about some of those predictions. One thing's for sure, you're in for a wild ride
If someone wants to be spoiled - just write me a PM

Are you sure? The title I've been seeing in articles is "Last Day on Earth"
Ya I doubled checked on xfinity.com and it said the same thing. Seems the last day on earth title going around was wrong.

We do indeed have something to fear. The spectre known as the intelligence-insulting cliffhanger.
Anyhow, more CONFIRMED spoilers for this weekend's penultimate episode courtesy of The Spoiling Dead Fans...
I'm not going to arbitrarily spoiler bar these ones. Not in the mood.

So we have the scene from the leaked sneak peek, yet another blatant Lucille tease, some filler to pad time showing Carol leaving even though she's already left as of the end of last week's episode, the other sneak peek scene of Rick & Michonne playing Adam & Eve, a parting shot of Glenn looking back at Maggie, the scenes with Tobin and Rick from the promo, Carol being helpless again (that pesky car trouble), Carol goes assassin (because that's always fun), Carol is a walker fakeout, Morgan saves another crazy person (possibly from The Kingdom) because Alpha Wolf tried to save Denise once, Rick takes off for some reason after snitching on his girl about ProteinBarGate, rogue surviving Savior makes an appearance so he can be made an example of during the finale, Enid's attempt at giving Maggie a haircut goes so horribly wrong that the baby feels compelled to protest just days after the only doctor got herself killed for a speech and a soda, Glenn and Michonne decide to bail on Operation Rescue Daryl only to get kidnapped by Saviors, Dwight shoots Daryl for that end of episode cliffhanger and apparently captures Rosita as well (although she seemingly doesn't get brought out for the Lucille lineup in the finale with everyone else).

I thought they said there wasn't going to be anymore fake out deaths this season. That's kind of lame but the reaction from people should be fun
*edit*
I didn't see the "you'll be alright"

Maggie's stomach pains mean a trip to the Hilltop is on the cards in the finale?
So if we do get a cliffhanger in the final episode, which right now is looking like a big possibility, that means no people from Rick's group died this season correct? We've had all Alexandrian's as far as I can remember. Nicholas, Deanna, Jessie, Ron, Sam, and now Denise. Plus I guess all the other ones from the wolves and so on.
Man that's honestly what disappoints me most is that we haven't had a major player from Rick's group die yet. Like if your going to use a cliffhanger at least give us some more big deaths before that moment. I guess there is always Rosita who could still be dead by 16. But still I really wanted an original character from seasons 1 - 3 to bite it.

I don't get this. Why are "big deaths" a source of enjoyment for you and other fans? Most sane people I know don't want the characters they are invested in to die. Sure, let all the people in the red shirts die, but I really don't care for losing a member of the core group.

This moment in particular needs to be a big death to sell how big a threat Negan is, but in general, any death or loss is tough to watch. You should see my parents react when a character dies
Never said it was a source of enjoyment but when you have a cast that's only going to grow bigger, characters need to die. Sure it sucks to see a favorite character go but this is supposed to be the type of show where no one is safe. We haven't had an original Atlanta member die since season 3 and Hershel's death was the biggest after that. It's time for some bigger characters to bite it. I get tired of people only caring about the original Atlanta characters. Shit there's people who don't even knows Abrahams name and he's been around 2 seasons now.
and that's when shows get boring. There's no threat if they're only interested in letting tertiary characters bite the bullet. especially in a show based on a book where no one is genuinely safe. Ricks barely a whole person in the comic compared to the show if you compare the state of being. big deaths need to happen because that's the universe. plot armor is boring, favorites should die and the story should move forward.

At least for me, Rick's group is so invincible right now that it takes away any of the shows suspense. I never worry that any of them are ever in real danger, they just plow through everyone they come across. I know it won't happen but I would love for Negan's group to kill off a couple characters so you know he is not messing around and there really is danger for Rick's group going forward.
In my ideal situation,
Abraham would have taken the arrow, Carol would be killed in front of Morgan which make him rethink his current ways and start killing again. Negan would say that normally he kills one person to make a point but since Rick's group killed so many of his he is going to kill two and it's Glenn and another Alexandrian or Sasha(and of course no cliff hanger ending lol)
I definitely think they should've used a bigger character for the arrow death if they are going to do this cliffhanger shit. Right now the saviors are looking like a joke and I've already seen some non comic readers say as much. The only person they have killed is Denise and while that hurts the group cause she's the doc it still isn't enough. Which is exactly why I thought they wouldnt do this cliffhanger bullshit! They need to do something cause like you said Rick's group is way too invincible right now. It's just a waiting game at this point tho hopefully there is a big death and AMC are somehow keeping it from leaking.

Can't be the only one fine with a cliffhanger? Sure they are annoying, but they are going to kill a main character(??) and then what? Cut ahead in time or continue right after when the shock has wore off after 5 or 6 months?
Atleast with a cliffhanger Negan and his group can reek havoc for the early part of season 7. Seems like mid season 6 break would have been the time to introduce Negan and have those major deaths than continue on after the break.
It's based on the comic, not following it to a tee. Good luck keeping viewership with so much shit happening to the main cast.

Oh god dont say that
lol a cliffhanger would be bad enough but then to finally find out that it's Aaron that gets its? That would be the biggest fuck you to comic fans. They could end it with Negan saying Ta-Ta and the group kneeling in front of the Lucille victims body. It's as simple as that, all they have to do is copy the exact comic scene. When season 7 starts it could start right where it ended and having someone hitting Rick like Maggie did in the comics. And I personally think that it would be a much more effective "cliffhanger" then cutting away seconds before we see who gets killed. You don't have to worry about the shock ever wearing off if they kill someone like Glenn or Daryl.

Scenes being left out of screener copies isn't a new occurrence. Doctor Who has been doing this for years (i.e. the Rose scene in "Partners in Crime"). I wouldn't put it past AMC to put out a screener copy that just doesn't have the final scene (or a truncated form), with the big reveal coming when the episode airs live.
That is my only hope currently. This is really too big of a ball to drop for AMC. It'll just be ruined by next season if we don't know by the end of the night who dies and see the reactions to that death on television. It won't mean a damn thing and would just relegate Negan, the big-bad the show runner and producers have been hyping up as the biggest of the bad to just another Governor.
That's the only hope we got at this point. Some people have seen the episode and as far as they know it ends on a cliffhanger. So AMC is either holding it back for everyone to see at the same time or it's a fucking cliffhanger.

Also, I gotta say that the defense that "it's a TV show, you'd lose viewers if you killed off Rick's crew!" is weak. Sure, that may be a REASON for why the show is going in a direction of weak surprises and twists, but that doesn't mean that the show isn't going in a bad direction.
I mean why the hell would they say all that if we don't see what happens? How could Andy feel sick to his stomache if we aren't seeing who gets their head bashed in? Is it possible that they decided to cut the scene short later on after these interviews and carry the death into season 7.

Didn't the cast hype the hell out of the S5 finale, only to have little to nothing actually happen? Though I agree, those statements are a little much if we don't see the result of Lucille.

This isn't based on any spoilers or anything but I have a feeling they're going to write Judith out of the show.
Ya that much has been obvious for a a number of seasons now. But they've gone overboard this time if it truly does end in a cliffhanger. All this hyping up from the actors, Gimple, and Nicotero about the finale. Showing those Lucille pictures in episode 11. The fact that we haven't had a major player from Rick's group die yet. The constant hyping of Negan's entrance.
All this shit has been pointing towards a big death in 16. Even non comic readers are expecting someone major to bite it cause of how easy the group has had it. I feel like the writers and AMC would have to be the biggest dumbshits in the world to not give some sort of pay off to all of this. But I mean they are the ones who acted like Glenn's dumpster dive didn't leak anywhere so who knows maybe they are that dumb.

Yep. Even if it was always intended for next season, they'd likely film everything while filming the finale. Maybe it got cut and moved, maybe it was always intended for next season. Hell, sad that this is the odd choice out at this point... but maybe it's in the darn episode.
Ya that definitely is true they wouldn't cut the filming of that scene. But you would think that they had to at least initially plan for it all be one scene. Why else would AMC let the actors go off and say these things that are specifically about the finale? Of course this whole thing that made Andy sick could not be the Lucille scene but nothing else from leaks suggest there could be something else. So to me it seems like it either got cut last minute or they're hiding it.

Had a little fun with what they could do. Doubt the producers have the balls to do this, but just imagine how fucking horrifying it would be if Negan's choice was INVERSED.
"Eenie... meenie... miney... moe."
Negan lowers lucille towards
face and prods the barbed wire into the cheek.
"You've just won the god damn jackpot. Take him the fuck away boys."
Everyone screams in horror as Negan takes everyone out one by one.
