Good season ender, I thought. Though I did wonder why
I might be in the minority, but I liked this season. It's the natural second act--the beginning couldn't be much more bleak. And, if they follow decent writing strategy (a question, where $ is involved. And the writing has been uneven at times), it signals the end of the series is nearing--they're on the last upswing. It should be no more than a season or two, at best. Don't know if that will happen, but it should. I'll miss these guys.
NO ONE took a shot a Jadis when the was looming over the scene in her tower watch. That didn't make sense, but whatever. Maybe it happened when we weren't 'looking' 
The other thing that was a niggler was Sasha drinking water--her elbow went quite high. Coffins don't have a hell of a lot of room once the lid is closed, unless they took out all the padding and she was laying on cloth covered metal. I'll have to watch it again (I would anyway--my daughters would not STHU and I missed some of the dialogue) to see what it looks like when she lurches out.
Trying not to be too much of a noodge. My husband is a quality inspector in a steel and aluminum foundry, and he's driving me nuts with his muttering about the arrowheads and other metal objects the Kingdom is making (apparently, they aren't going to work--lol). And how about how they have a marked lack of walkers in one of the most high-density populated areas in the US--Alexandria, Va. isn't far from D.C. (and not in a forest--lol) Some things you just have to let slide, I guess.
Seeing Abraham again emphasized how much they lost with his death. He is a breath of fresh air in this mopey, navel-gazing crew. Take no prisoners, eat no s**t. He's a badass unlike anyone else the show has had. Rick is more like this in the comics. *sigh*
For next season, predictions (and these are not from anywhere but my head, FlakeNoir --lol): Carol and Morgan will die, if not right at the beginning in the mid season finale. They are both doomed and damned, by their own admission. Eric will die, to give Aaron a purpose/story. They can kill any number of Alexandrians, because we don't give a crap about any of them but Aaron. If there's any logic in this world, Judith will die, but she won't because the show is afraid of mama viewers (female viewership is high). Maybe they'll age her even faster and she'll take some of Sophia's comic book role (she's still alive in the comics, and Enid has taken some of her parts. Judith could be 'little girl Sophia', since we missed that part).
All Out War will satisfy almost no one--half will say it's too gory (Really? it is war, after all), and half will say they wussed out if someone doesn't explode into a puddle of goo every episode. I'm getting tired of the bickering in this fandom. If they tell a good, believable story (within the parameters of this world), I'll be satisfied. I'm easy, as a reader and viewer
