Out of rockets...used them on Alexandria zombies.
I read he only had the script for 2 days and only his dialogue. He had no clue what the entire episode entailed or that it would be a cliff hanger. He didn't have time to work with the crew or other cast members.
He described the two day filming as "emotional" for the cast and crew. Sounds like it was very intense.
The fact that he nailed it says much.
During the attack when they lit the place on fire?

The cynical side of me wonders if this ending has anything to do with contract negotiations and options for next season.

If everyone watching had an idea that it was all going to build up to a Negan reveal and a bat swing, the writers should have gone in a different direction. Period. Show who gets whacked. Go a little further than that scene and show the reaction of the other characters. Something other than what was expected. Really stupid to have all of the build-up with absolutely nothing at the end other than exactly what was expected.
Just another reason the comics > the TV show.

The word is that final scene, none of the cast was on set. They didn't want the cast to know who was going to die or if it was going to be their character's end to get more emotion out of them in the moments shot before JDM hit a rigging without the cast there. Evidently it worked because emotions were running high on set.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan was awesome. Loved his introduction and the way he delivered his lines.
I wonder who the poor actor is that shows up to work next season only to find out they are killed off. Talk about being nervous about job security.

I'm betting that actor already knows. The show won't pick up a full option on someone just for one season, especially if it's a major character. That would eat a massive hole in their budget. Also, it would be INCREDIBLY bad business to make an actor wait another a full year of work (realize, this finale was shot six months ago plus another six months for the episode to air) to get another job.
reality is, one of these people will probably be cast in something in the next six months and that will tell us who died... which is another stupid reason to hold this cliffhanger over.
JDM was on talking dead right after the show...they said the entire cast spent two nights,...nearly fifteen hours ...sitting on their knees while he dialogued..... they commented how normally it would be tennis balls,...or paper markers,..or at best a few crew members as markers...but this cast all wanted to be present..... he said he was able to feed off of them a bit because they were being emotional,...really getting into the situation..... he mentioned how for the first two days he was there most of the other actors would not even make eye contact with him..... he seems to love the role and the group of actors he is working with.

It would be markers, or crew members or tennis balls? That sounds like the biggest load of horse manure I've ever heard. A MASSIVE new character starts on the show and the actors opposite him in the scene normally wouldn't be there? That isn't how shows work. The idea that he wouldn't have the main cast members there in his turn of coverage isn't how things like that go down. The level of disrespect towards that actor would be unlike anything I've ever seen on set.

Well season 6 is now in the books. Onward to season 7 in the fall!
That's what they said...I guess a major part was him just talking into the camera...and they seemed to think it was abnormal for all the other cast members to be right there in their own spots for that type of shooting.
The horse guys were an interesting wrinkle.
I thought the build up was fantastic. Oaken described it well as the group felt more and more hopeless at every turn. I felt it with them IMO. I was stressed the whole time and negan really nailed his entrance, worth all the hype.
I thought this season was phenomenal and it's still hands down my favorite show.
Just browse TV and look at all the stuff you hate that is popular, I know when I had cable I couldn't believe all the crap on that had nothing for me. This show does it for me, doesn't mean it will fit everyone.
I'm OK with both knowing who died, makes me even more excited for next season. Now we will sit through 6 months of this shows wannabe, hopeful it's far better than last season.

I loved the Morgan scene and I think him laying the bullets will help carol come back to being carol. This show has always been about people losing their **** and either dying or coming back. Morgan pulling the trigger was a significant moment that I have been dying for.
I am really curious about the new group though, they looked prepared.
His right hand man that did his lead in was phenomenal as well I thought

Welcome to Amareca
Abraham is an important character in the comics, certainly tier 1.
What I read is that for the most part the entire cast was there. They shot first at JDM's angel then the shot at the cast's angle over 2 nights. The only scene the cast wasn't there for was when JDM swung Lucile.
That's one thing I thought too. One of the most important missions of the season and Jesus is AWOL.
Not in the show though which is what I think everyone is talking about. They really have pushed his character aside IMO.

im thinking he doesnt know anything about them coming back to see the doctor or even that ricks doctor is dead. its like they did the main attack and everyone moved on like the battle was won. Is jesus naive enough to think that was all of the saviors? Or at that point he does have a group to lead so maybe he simply headed back to the hilltop.
PS: the red rover scene before bullets went flying was pretty awesome. To see Daryl and Michonnes clothes on those zombies was a good scene. I'm glad the saviors only kill one and send you on your way as they could easily just wax the whole group and call it quits on them. Negan is obviously used to getting people to bow down, my thought is that rick will place nice but ultimately will kill negan.
(and no i dont want to know what happens in the comic
for one I like to keep it pure and for two I am reading the comic but purposely staying behind the show. )

He was just introduced, he barely has any relations with them at this point.
So that I don't type a bunch of redundant stuff. I'm about 99.9% on-board with everything BRR has said.

That was Steven Ogg. He is popular among Grand Theft Auto fans for his voice acting role as Trevor in GTA V. I thought he was great in this, I hope we get more of him.
...still didn't make up for the cliffhanger for me. I'll be psyched for next season anyway. I think the show is always entertaining, even in weaker episodes.
dude! The whole time I'm like this dude reminds me of Trevor, I love him! That is so funny to now know, it actually was trevor!

Totally disagree with that take. My wife who is not a fan of these types of shows watched that episode with me because she likes JDM. Afterwards she asks me..."How do you watch that show? It's completely nerve racking and tense". LOL.
