The Walking Dead (AMC)

[jf-08]

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.

That's only a 6-episode reality show--hardly proof that Reedus is off of Walking Dead.

It doesn't indicate when it's filmed. I would imagine it's during the off-season of TWD.

IMO with that much manpower, the zombies become far less of a problem. It seems as though they have been in this neck of the woods for a while and likely have a lot of things in place to limit walker activity. I thought he easily took the cake as the most powerful bad guy they have ever come across.

not exactly what I'm talking about. this is a 6 episode reality show on the same network that's probably filmed in three weeks during hiatus.

I'm talking about one of these guys getting a lead in a pilot or on an existing show.

rumors swirled that daryl would die to negan because of a new show a few months ago, I looked up the new show and saw it is a reality show about riding motorcycles and concluded that thinking that shows Daryl is done is a HUGE reach. Easily filmed within just a few weeks during the offseason.

To me, this indicates that Reedus is staying alive because of the cross-promotion potential more than that he's the one getting Lucille'd.

This episode annoyed us a little bit. Seems like they could have gotten the tension in and still moved the story further along. It's not coming off the DVR anytime soon, though.

He makes a good case, but it's certainly not definitive.

Norman Reedus has a show already. He was on the couch.

I'm calling DD is dead. They didn't do it now, because it would have killed the opening for next season (we riot if Daryl dies). And he's not in the comics anyway.

Abe is a good bet, because he held up before dying and Negan comments on it, plus he's dead in the comics already.

Glenn is the other potential, but I think they've been misdirecting that the entire last two years, trolling the comics audience.

Dixon fans, prepare your riot gear.

That is totally off the mark. I think they did a great job introducing the saviors.

Just finished the season finale last night. I'm usually not very critical of the show, but that was a terrible way to end the season.

Are we really supposed to be excited by trying to figure out which of the characters we love got their brains bashed in? I don't find much suspense in that. Its like, "hey guess what Billy, guess which which one of your friends got mutilated?!"

 

[slinslin]

My theory is that it is Abraham who is dead.

Andrea was pretty much erased from the story and her comic book story lines seem to be split between Michonne(rick love affair) and Sasha(who is not in the comics, as a gunner/fighter)

- Conclusion with Sasha and Eugene
- Abrahams death will push Sasha more into the Andrea role.

Another theory would be that Carl is the victim. (Although it would be hard to accept that Rick would not react in this case)
His previous dialogue in the armory with the girl.
Plus the audience does not like Carl and the series in the past has gotten rid off characters that were not liked even if they are alive the comic and distributing future story lines on other characters instead.

Negan said (paraphrasing) "anyone moves or yells while I do this, spoon out the kids other eye and feed it to his dad"

It's not Rick or Carl IMO

Seems I misunderstood the line about the kid. Although Carl does not need to be alive to do that.

No but it's not realistic that Rick would just stand by and Rick would be alive while getting fed his eye. There is no way that wouldn't draw a reaction. No way it's Carl.

Good point but I think it means they are both safe.

it's literally impossible for some people to just say... oh, you're right. I'm wrong there.

Hey cheesebeef, I know you don't like the entire Glenn thing but how are you going to react if it's not him after all the misdirection? LOL.

Honestly, I think that's where it's going. Abraham said his goodbye's in the finale. Not to mention his "death" from the comics was stolen to keep him alive for another purpose. I think this was it.

For some reason I am getting the feeling that they want to keep the Maggie/Glenn thing going to give the audience something else to cheer for.

I think killing Abraham will be a non-moment for most people watching the show and does nothing to make me fear Negan as a real threat.

and man, the machinations of plot that the writers had to come up with to get ALL of the group (save Morgan and Carol) just seem even more ridiculous in hindsight. It was like they started the season with we need Negan to stand before all our cast members to kill one of them... but we don't want his people to storm Alexandria because they've already done that with the Prison... so it's has to be he captures them out in the open. Then, they worked backward to plot how the characters would get there... which forced them to ignore who the characters are and how they usually operate.

That's what I'm talking about with plot moving story forward rather then characters doing it.

The whole putting all your eggs in one winnebago was probably the toughest pill to swallow. Having zero contingency plan wasn't their style either.

Regardless, they've done enough to keep me in until next season.

JDM was so good in that short bit that I think he still comes off menacing and scary no matter who he kills. Although, I agree that killing off Abraham would have less impact.

Unfortunately, if I was betting man.....that's what I would put my money on.

Not only that but the sheer stupidity of the characters even before that. Leaving the compound defenseless when Carol first took off and then them parading out in the open like they didn't have a care in the world with the Saviors out there. That to me was by far the hardest part to swallow.

letting your only doctor go out to look for stuff was beyond idiotic as well.

True. LOL. Let's let the only person who has medical training go out just so she can prove something to herself.
