I know who Negan killed: my patience with this show.

[Wouldofshouldof]

Cop out.

[bosawks]

Damn, Lucille, in all her barbed wired baseball batted glory, has kind of dimmed my enthusiasm opening day.....

[AimingforYoko]

Jesus, you have the most popular show on TV. There was no need for the cliffhanger bullshit.

[SimoneS]

I thought this was great and loved the cliffhanger. I loved how Rick realized that they were outnumbered and outmaneuvered. His horror when he grabbed Michonne's dreads and realized that she and Daryl were captured.

 

I think that Abraham was killed. Poor Eugene. So brave.

 

Loved Gabriel coming into his own.

 

I am glad that Morgan and Carol found some potential allies.

 

I cannot wait for Negan to get exactly what he deserves.

JDM was amazing.

Cliffhanger endings are tiresome.

[Ohwell]

I'm not gonna lie.  It was nice to see Rick humbled and scared shitless and probably pissing in his pants.  

 

Otherwise, what a load of crap.

[Boofish]

I'm so ashamed that I find Negan 100% doable.

I appreciate the cop out. I don't want to spend my entire summer mourning

[Enigma X]

Sorry, but that was a piece of shit. This is the first time that I have felt this much anger at a TWD finally!

[minamurray78]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

 

A CLIFF HANGER!!!

 

WHAT IS THIS THE FIRST SEASON?!

 

We've putting up with those chartacters for six seasons now, and they're going to leave us hanging for six months now??!!!

WTF

[natyxg]

I wonder if the writers even knew at that point who Negan killed. I liked Negan, good casting. His speech was too long though.

 

I think it was a bad idea to leave it as a cliffhanger and not really show the horror of it. Months later the reveal will not have the same impact, imo.

[Corporal Agarn]

I don't even care who died now. LAME.

[placate]

You know it would've still been a cliffhanger if they had shown who Negan killed...

[ParadoxLost]

More the audience is on the receiving side of the action bullshit.  We are the victim,  My eyes were rolling hard with this one. And frankly I don't care who got killed.  Its the Glenn stuff all over again except I don't even care enough to speculate about it.

Oh, Negan and Nackers. You done  fucked up real good--

  Fools ❗❕                            

Rick is gonna kick, whip, and hunt yo' ass unto death and beyond.  

...I hope Rick picks up that barbed wired cudgel, tells Negan that Lucille says, it's "a fine time to leave..." then allows Negan one LAST kiss from his girlfrien'  .

I want The Rickers to be--insatiable in their retribution  while remaining unflappable during the ensuing mayhem.  

   

* [venting, juuust venting.]*

[Dodginblue]

At least the horse didn't get it.  

[iRarelyWatchTV36]

Fuck you, Show.  Fuck right off.

 

All that build up and a fricking dud for a firework.

[MichaelaRae]

FUCK YOU, SHOW.

[AimingforYoko]

There's a few times when you go, "Damn, they nailed that casting." This was one of those times. Morgan absolutely Lucille'd Negan.

[Spartan Girl]

DAMMMIT.

It took Morgan long enough to finally nut up and shoot a killer instead of speechifying.

Negan and Lucille....damn. It's hard not to see the Comedian right there.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Boo to the cliffhanger, but JDM didn't disappoint.

[MissScarlett]

JDM was amazing! This is how I expected the Governor to be!

Okay, so I feel like Carl is the one who got Lucilled because of what Negan was saying while bashing

[mustbekarma]

To summarize, somebody just needs to shove Lucille up Negan's ass, tout de suite.

 

This episode was going for suspenseful, but I was completely bored. I knew somebody I loved would die, it's the season finale. This cliffhanger bullshit was weak. Having the villain speechify for ten minutes was absolutely boring.

 

I'm not watching another episode until I know the Saviors have their asses truly kicked and fed to Walkers. If I can't see bad guys die, then there's no point to watching this.

Carol literally laughing in the face of death was awesome, like "That all you got, fucker?" Even when she's a fucking trainwreck, she's a badass.

Morgan breaking his code should be tragic, but I legit cheered. Yay!

Eugene's face when he saw Rosita killed me. Interesting they cut to his reaction and not Abraham's.

I loved Rick's hubris come apart bit by bit, to the point that he was terrified at the end. Very great work by Andrew Lincoln.

Carol/Morgan is going to be a thing, isn't it? He broke his code for her; that's pretty much a declaration of love.

Negan/JDM is doable but not at the expense of my CDB. :(

[econ07]

Ya, I think they used that plot device to give them leverage in contract negotiations ... "Take less money or it means that Negan killed you!"

[TigerLynx]

I wanted Rick to bite someone's juggler out, or Carol to show up and pull a Terminus on Negan and Company.

 

In the end if Daryl, Michonne, Carl, or Rick don't torture Negan to death I am going to be disappointed.

[jcin617]

That was terrible.    First off, cut it out with the speechifying bad guys.   The non-stop blathering is by far the most evil thing about them.   Second, Negan's group is just whatever you call "Mary Sue" bad guys - just over the top, pointless evil.  

[phoenix780]

Arrogance.

Rick's arrogance. Carl's. Negan's. And the writers.

See, I don't trust the follow up on this cliffhanger. Not after Glenn's stuff this season, last week's gunshot, Terminus. The terrible prequel series. The lame "conclusion" to the cool plane story.

So, if they think I'm all excited to wait until next season... Nope. I'm just annoyed and heading to spoilers once they appear.

[Boofish]

First time I've been Team Morgan. Just let Carol go

[Straycat80]

My heart is pounding! I have no clue who's dead. Guessing Glenn? Or Daryl since he's on TD? I hate Negan. That was some scary stuff!

Everybody should have stayed safe behind the gates of Alexandria. But then there would be no excitement on the show.

How's the new group of people with the horses? There are more people out there surviving than I thought. Can't wait until next fall for the next season.

[Sakura12]

Another death cliffhanger. That mean it's Glenn. 

 

Negan's another speechifying asshole, but he is terrifying.  And I did like seeing Rick scared. He's been too confident for too long. There is always someone worse.  

[beaker73]

I knew they were going to pull that shit.

[LonelyTown]

Cop out.

I knew it would happen too. What a load of bull.

[Ohwell]

Negan is hot though.  I'd do him if he got rid of the bat.

[nodorothyparker]

The only thing I'm at all shocked by after all that driving around and speechifying is how underwhelmed I am. Good god that was a tedious 90 minutes.

[xaxat]

Even worse than ending in a cliffhanger was the fact that I wasn't surprised by it because of the awkward pacing throughout the episode.

[Mu Shu]

Boring. Lame. Stupid ass speech.

Negan is too OTT to be remotely terrifying. Coral will kill his ass soon though.

Inexplicably enjoyed Morgan on a horse. Nice to see he's friends with Flash Gordon.

This X 1000

[easypeasy]

JDM is hot. Kudos to AL for perfectly conveying Rick's absolute terror and helplessness.

Other than that, I feel like I spent 90 minutes jerking off and didn't even get off.

[ilovethedark]

The writers really hate their audience. If they had an ounce of respect for us or even the actors we'd know who died. It's not just us they're dicking with it's the cast as well. For 90 minutes this was a lame episode. No wonder Andrew Lincoln and Norman got angry when they got their scripts.

[iRarelyWatchTV36]

To illustrate my frustration with this finale........ I was more tense waiting for the poor horse to get eaten, than I was about anything else.

 

 

All that speeching, got us absolutely nothing (basically).  Its [mostly likely] not Rick, Carl, Glenn, Michonne, or Maggie, so I really just don't care what we find out after the season comes back right now.

[shanndee]

Yeaaahhh. Dick move show runners. 

 

You had a slam dunk with your casting. Negan is awesome...wonderfully charismatic and absolutely chilling in his personification of "danger". Then you wimp out, afraid to give us a reveal. Cowardly action show, Truly cowardly.

 

As someone said up thread...it would still be a cliffhanger if we saw the victim.

 

Bad decision. Really bad.

I think they know...I just wish they'd trusted viewers enough to let us know. Oh well. I hope they can control all of space and time because otherwise I give less than a month or two before the spoiler is out.

[SimoneS]

Morgan breaking his code should be tragic, but I legit cheered. Yay!

I loved Rick's hubris come apart bit by bit, to the point that he was terrified at the end. Very great work by Andrew Lincoln.

 

So much for Morgan blathering on about how all life is precious. When it comes to someone he cares about, he is willing to take a life to have that person's life. 

 

Andy's performance stood out during Negan's egotistical rant. I always love how he takes Rick all the way. He is never afraid to show Rick's terror.

I generally try to avoid spoilers, but I caught a bit of the online "Yes, Negan's coming, bitches!" and the rah-rah woo-hoo excitement about seeing Lucille. The over the top enthusiasm of this anticipation has completely turned me off to this character and his Holy Weapon. And the season-long introduction of this storyline did not help.

Edited April 4, 2016 by StatMom

[DEL901]

Can't tell who met Lucille up close and personal... but it appeared that Negan was turned slightly to his right...  6 months to wait?  No... just no!

[walnutqueen]

I swear, if I read one motherdickin spoiler about who died in a thread it doesn't belong in before next season's premiere, I will go full metal Negan on that poster's ass.
