Carol's not even in the lineup so you can drop that notion right now.
She's going to have a pretty shitty finale night, though. So enjoy that.

I'm just hoping that the ending was just withheld from the screener version, especially since the description of the supposed ending matches the leaked footage perfectly.
basically... I'm just going to do whatever version of prayer that I do and hope that we get what the story deserves from the television version.
I have to believe they did just because I can't really imagine AMC, Gimple, and Kirkman being stupid enough to let it leak. AMC knows how often shit gets spoiled for this show. Just recently they talked about how they are going to start cracking down on leakers. They would never want such a big scene and moment being spoiled before it airs. The only way to do that is to not include the scene in the screener version.

If it's a visual reveal, it can certainly be done. Nothing that needs to be translated for foreign markets. We won't know until finale night, though.

Oh look... it's our first direct glimpse at Negan and Lucille. And we get it from an international FOX commercial before Ep 15 even airs.
What were you saying about AMC being protective of their all-too-precious finale secrets again? They're not stupid enough to let it happen, you say?

The promo pic of Carl with the bandages leaked before the mid-season premiere. They've been leaking badly all season

Oh wow that promo is complete hype.
The death just has to be omitted from the screeners, it just has to be.
Please let it be this season. I can't wait seven more months.

oh man, are the showrunners and AMC really dumb enough to just cut to black with Negan and Lucille? That would seriously be the worst. Just because, as others have said, it would be a horrible cliffhanger and completely miss the point what made Negan's introduction so memorable in the comics.
To me, Negan's introduction from the comics sticks with me for a couple reasons. Its brutal and right in your face. Glenn gets his head caved in way up close in those panels and its hard to look at. Combined with him screaming out for Maggie and its gutwrenching. Then you add in the fact that Glenn is one of the original survivors and its even more of a shock. And all of that shows you that Negan isn't messing around.
If the show just has it end as a cliffhanger, instead of it being a super memorable gutpunch it'll likely just get spoiled when they start filming again. And if it's just Aaron that gets Lucilled? I like Aaron but he's barely been in the second half of this season. Negan needs to kill an original cast member, not another Alexandrian.

I am remembering right isn't it the last survivor of the new group who are against the saviors?
I'm probably wrong.

Oh my god that promo is straight fire. Pleaaaaaase don't fuck this up.
That's super disappointing
I'm sure he's there just to take the place of comic Heath's place. There needs to be an Alexandrian in the lineup and Aaron makes the most sense for the show.

Wasn't "Something to Fear" the name of this story arc in the comics? I remember they changed up the covers around that time.

Split between seasons... AND they killed off nobody of consequence even though they trolled their audience that they did. How would that audience of fans feel about it? I wonder...
Yep it was

Morales is credited on IMDb hmmmmm
But that Instagram shot of the Aaron look alike puppet with the skull piece prominently sticking out. I mean, maybe they change it up and kill two of them or Aaron is the only one or it's a red herring.
Bah!

It's exactly why GoT is as good as it is...no one is safe and literally anyone can be killed at any time. It makes watching it from week to week all that much more exciting too.
I get that TWD can't go exactly that route because of its tie to the comics but IMO it should've always been about the larger picture of the world and people just trying to survive...Rick's group included. No one in this show should be safe or have plot armor, comic be damned...it just goes against everything this show is about.
Eh oh well...moving on to the finale...they would never do it in a million years but what if Negan...
offed Coral in the lineup

That would make an impact...
IF Carol was in the lineup
She's more liable to jump off a cliff like a lemming and off herself that week.

This has to have been the worst season for AMC leaks-wise
Glenn's "death" figured out in record time
The pic of Carl with the bandage
The pic of Daryl from a few pages back
The finale promo already out

dave is ok
aztek is ok
Remember that time they hyped up a finale and it was just a cliffhanger with a bleeped out F-bomb?
Yep it's been ridiculous at this point. Especially all the finale leaks. We usually never get a full description of the episode two weeks before. Followed by a promo pretty much confirming most the shit in that leak. AMC really messed up this time. And now there's a huge chance the episode will end in a cliffhanger. So come May we can all talk about the leak of who gets Lucilled. So damn stupid but hey at least Negan and Lucille are looking awesome in the promo.

Having Steven Ogg as a Savior is some incredible casting.

I still think if they were gonna do a cliffhanger for that episode, it should've been Coral getting shot by the sniper and falling into the train car and that's how it ends...

It's the most anticipated finale episode so of course the buzz is everywhere
Yep. I'm really surprised we never saw him show up in like Sons of Anarchy or anything like that. Dudes just got a good greaser / trigger man look.

I love that it looks like JDM is doing this:
Kirkman talking a little bit about Negan
http://www.ew.com/article/2016/03/25/walking-dead-negan-robert-kirkman
Here's what he said about the Lucille scene
"But something as well known as that moment maybe it would seem like it wouldnt be a great thing if we did an exact sort of thing just because people might be expecting it. All I want to say is, read the comic, but youre not going to know what to expect. Part of the reason that that moment was such a big deal in the comic is the fact that you did not expect that it was going to happen, and so were very confident that we found a way to keep it as unexpected in the show as it was in the comic. So it should be just as intense, just as heartbreaking, and just as shocking."

I was just coming back to edit my post with Kirkman's quote! Ugh. That quote's the nail in the coffin for me. Oh well.
Oh man, it's happening! I'm so hyped for these next two episodes.Nice!
Hahaha Aaron is the group that gets caught...I guess the rumors are true
Edit: Wait a second I'm going back on this thread now, Aaron might be getting the Glenn death and it's going to be a cliffhanger? Am I reading this right? Please tell me I'm misunderstanding right now.

Hmm
Interesting. Makes me feel like anyone that most have guessed could be wrong. MAYBE he'll kill two people, and instead of Glenn, Daryl, or Maggie, they'll roll with Carl.(edit: along with Aaron)
I still have a little hope that they planned for leaks in advance and are hiding the final scene. They filmed two versions of the scene one with f words one without them. They could definitely be holding something back still.
But honestly I am expecting a cliffhanger at this point. I don't really know what to ever believe when Kirkman says anything cause the dude is a master troll at this point. Everything he's saying could be complete bullshit or the truth.

Why I'm excited about Negan
+ It's fucking Negan. Such a charismatic antagonist in the source material, I'm sure JDM will do him justice.
+ There was a savage on this show before it was popular to be a savage. He was at one point way ahead of the curve. He's naturally mellowed out a lot these last few seasons though. However, not only will be more ruthless and calculated this time but no amount of farming and guidance is taking him away.
+ The Kingdom and Ezekiel. Might get a hint of it in the finale but full reveal won't happen until S7. I can't wait.
+ Leader Maggie
+ Darcille isn't completely dead yet!
