Glenn? I don't think people would be all up in arms other than if it is as graphic as it is in the comics. People already (sort of) thought Glenn was dead. I think if they make it Daryl, like the rumors say, then people will lose their minds.

What if
Spoiler: show
it's a masacre ? I mean Carol, Morgan, Abraham are all dead in the comic at this point. Why not have a Lucille gangbang? Kill a few. We didn't lose a main character all season. I'm leaning towards Glenn though.

I like the choice they made with the arrow through eye death in that episode to keep us guessing about the big death moments from the comic.They've really done a good job with it since the beginning.

At this point, I have no idea who Negan is going to take out, but I'm leaning toward
Spoiler: show
Darryl

I think it is pretty weak if they kill Glenn now. Like they were "preparing" us for some big kill earlier this season by making us think he's dead. Like it will somehow soften the blow.

I agree with being prepared. I disagree with it being weak. This is the best death of any group member. Period. The biggest holy shit moment. And so on...

In a way, this death is an honor.

I think you're right on that. This last ep gives motivation for
Spoiler: show
Darryl to fly off the handle and get himself killed.
Plus, they don't really have an idea of how bad Negan is. They could reason with the Governor (to a degree), but Negan...

Ugh. Shitty episode, but at least I won't have to watch that woman "act" ever again.

Someone of importance needs to die soon.

I was just thinking on how they could swerve us: Darryl goes after Carol, they both get captured by Negan's men and in the final scene, Negan's about to execute one of them at point blank, we see his gun go off but the show ends without us knowing who's dead until next season.

You only need to stay out of this thread for 2 more weeks. You can do it!

confirmed. I assume it will be the last scene. I think a better stopping point for the season would be when Rick gives in to his demands, though.

The post war stuff doesn't do it for me. I hope it ends after the war.

According to these guys, we won't even know who it is:
The ever-reliable Spoiling Dead Fans Facebook page has gotten their hands on a potential spoiler. And you won't like it.

No it's not proof that a beloved character like Glenn, Carol or Daryl will die. It's far worse. It's a painful cliffhanger.

According to The Spoiling Dead, the Season 6 finale will be shot from the victim's perspective as Negan bashes his or her head in. It looks like we won't know who that character is until the Season 7 premiere in mid-October.

Genuine question: How long do you guys think this show will continue? I mean, it doesn't seem like it's ever going to lose its popularity at this point. Will they ever pull the plug? Could you see them potentially killing off Rick and gradually shifting to a new character or group of characters as a means to preserve the show?

They can only go so long with the same story over and over. Seems like the whole Negan dynamic will get old/boring after a couple of seasons, so they'll probably end the series with Rick and whoever else is still alive walking into the sunset to find a new place to live.

I think it would be funny if the end it with them running into the Fear the Walking Dead group.

You really don't think they'll kill Rick before the end of the show? I can't imagine that they wouldn't.
