I wonder if it will affect viewership, due to the big disappointing ending?

Jeffery Dean Morgan went from Magic City to Zombie Town. Was this a step up or down?
I wonder if
Dwight might turn out to be a good guy, of sorts. Did he shoot Daryl knowing that Neegan wouldn't shoot an injured man? Is he showing Daryl mercy because Daryl tried to help him?
No doubt core viewers will continue to watch. The producers need a new angle to draw more viewers. They could always try a "gods from the machine" technique, say, aliens come to earth
or better yet, are responsible for the apocalypse
. But this would be stretching credulity. Why don't they make Carol, once she recuperates, the leader of the group?
I didn't think it was disappointing, actually.It was neverevereverever going to show the actual murder anyway. WAY too gory for basic cable. The most it would be is blood splashing and then seeing the body. We'll see that, eventually. This episode was about breaking down Rick (and the rest of our crew, to a lesser extent), not about a single gory death. It is a catalyst for change. The more I think about it, the more I like Gimple's plotting. There are issues with execution, at time, but he definitely has a master plan that he is following. I look forward to next season.
Oh SNAP!!
Somebody slowed down the audio and tried to identify who was saying what during the final beating scene. They think they've identified the victim by the audio.
I know you have to push play for it to work, but I'll spoiler it anyway.
They're saying it's Glenn, because in the comic, Glenn sputters out Maggie's name after the first hit, and they're saying that's what's happening here.
People are going to such extreme measures to try and figure it out... and it's still the first week of APRIL. It's going to be a long trip until October.
Dwight tried to kill Daryl with one of his own arrows but Denise got in the way... Dwight ain't no nice guy, as the dental hygenist would have put it.
Can't help but think of Jeffrey Dean Morgan as John Winchester... It's not too far a walk from Supernatural to The Walking Dead....
I noticed an odd coincidence among my fb friends. Those who hated the ending of DT also hated this final episode. Those who immediately loved the ending of DT are not upset about this final episode.
I'm not sure this holds true among people here, as nobody actually seems to be overly upset about the show.
Interesting. I loved the ending of DT and liked TWD finale.
The one thing that I didn't like about TWD finale was the excessive commercials. Didn't it seem like there was a commercial break every 3 minutes?
Gotta agree with you about the commercials.
I loved the ending of DT. I wouldn't say I loved TWD finale, I did like it. And if a person doesn't like cliff hangers, why would they watch a show that has them at least twice a season?
I liked the ending of DT---It made a lot of sense. I can't say I was crazy about the ending of TWD. I think because they hyped it up too much. Yes, wayyyy too many commercials. They should have said it will run about the same length as usual, due to amount of commercials. I also would like to add Negan should have been able to swear at least an F-bomb.
As they haven't filmed the murder yet (JDM was swinging at a mat on the ground--TSDF had pictures), it's safe to say that they left their options open. At the time of filming, they might not have even decided who would get the bat yet. "In the comic" doesn't have to be what they do in the show--they've changed a lot of things. I personally think it will be Glenn, but there are two other strong options: Abraham and Aaron. And we all could be wrong--lol.
They might have broken up the action differently, but the show was only 30 seconds shorter than any other 90 minute TWD
They did say, though, that all of the actors were on set interacting with him during the filming of that scene, though. So some telling audio could have been caught... or purposely recorded. They're just clever that way. They don't just leave breadcrumbs. They drop whole loaves that don't become obvious until after the fact.
Yup. Gimple most definitely has a long term planThey did say, though, that all of the actors were on set interacting with him during the filming of that scene, though. So some telling audio could have been caught... or purposely recorded. They're just clever that way. They don't just leave breadcrumbs. They drop whole loaves that don't become obvious until after the fact.
I think he's quite the show runner, despite a few stumbles.
