The Walking Dead

[Nothingjustgo.]

Talk about this mediocre show here. I mean as the honest trailer puts it for every 8 episodes there are 2 amazing episodes, 2 really good episodes, and 4 episodes of pure filler. I mean, I still like it but it's not fantastic or top quality or anything.

I only really made this thread to complain about last night's episode. It was one of the best episodes, but then they had to RUIN it with that annoying cliffhanger. Imagine if...

Spoiler: slight GOT spoilers and walking dead spoilers

they began the red wedding, THEN DIDN'T REVEAL WHO DIED. How lame is that? Uuuugh I was in so much suspense, the most I had ever been in awhile, but nope, cut to black. Grrrr.

I bet it's Aaron because the show has no balls to kill off a character that we all love.

Anyway, feel free to talk about anything you want, including the comics for those that read.

Spoiler: .

I knew that we'd get a cliffhanger cuz I read the spoiler a week in advance. I didn't think it was that bad however, but that's mostly because my expectations for TWD's season finales have been pretty low ever since season 3's ha ha. I'm guessing that either Abraham or Glenn got killed tho, the former cuz his character arc is basically done, and the latter because of the comic. I doubt they'd kill a popular character like Daryl. ^^

The Walking Dead is a fantastic show and I love every episode including the finales.

That's the thing, in the comics Negan killed Glenn because he was the most popular character. Also Abraham was supposed to die where the doctor did, so I'm assuming they kept him alive for a reason

Well, I've worked out who Negan killed on the show, based on the angle of the POV shots, who got picked twice and who didn't, looking at the background behind Negan and finally looking at the last close ups of the characters' faces before Negan made his choice. The answer is in the spoilers below with an in-depth analysis.

Spoiler: Lucille's Victim

It's pretty obvious who Negan killed; Eugene.

Before Negan goes to call 'it', we see a close up of Rick's face. On Rick's face we see Negan's shadow on the LEFT side - so Glenn Daryl Abraham Rosita Michonne Maggie - everyone on Rick's right is safe.

Then we see a close up of Carl and Negan's shadow move past him. So it has to be the person left of Carl and there's only one person - Eugene.

Also by the number of people engaged in the 'eenie meenie' game and how Negan points to each one, whoever wasn't pointed to at least twice was the goner. That one person who wasn't picked twice was also Eugene.

We also get the victim's POV when Negan says 'My mother....', but it cuts straight to Michonne's reaction. This POV is done after Carl is picked and who does it turn to afterwards? Eugene.

We know as well no one is save anymore on this show with Denise's death - a character who's still alive in the comics but now dead on the show.

Eugene also gave Rick his recipe for manufacturing bullets and told him Abraham can show him where the factory will be - he is no longer needed.

Take in note Michael Cudlitz tweeted the actor who played Eugene saying he 'had a blast' working with him. Everyone thought that meant Abraham was a goner, but now it implies it's actually Eugene.

Finally Negan was surprised when the character was 'taking it like a champ'. With big characters like Abraham he wouldn't have been surprised.

Kirkman said he could only have shown the death if it was a main character. Eugene is an 'also starring' character on the show atm.

Kirkman also said the character is 'beloved'. Eugene is now finally 'beloved'.

It will also be the biggest tragedy of all. Eugene was the only one of the group in front of Negan at the time who didn't engage in the war against the Saviors.

Mystery solved.

But I think it was stated on Talking Dead or some other thing that the show's writers haven't chosen who died yet. ^^;

Both points are valid. Then there's

Spoiler: Caption

The caption that supposedly said, "Maggie!" during the beat down/fade to black scene. I need to see for myself with subtitles to see if it's true though.

They've decided to say that now to make it more mysterious. But originally the cast had said they read the script and were horrified by it. Andrew Lincoln said he couldn't get to sleep after reading it, Lauren Cohan couldn't stop crying, Josh McDermitt threw it on the ground in anger and Melissa McBride was deeply troubled. Norman Reedus went on another TV talkshow either today or yesterday and said that they 'all knew', and even the crew knew and 'were crying' about who they killed off.

I think either the show-runners have stuck with the death in the leaked audio or they've decided to leave it ambiguous so they can change it later on. The leaked audio doesn't actually outrightly say who died in it. I mean it could just have been cleverly staged so as to make you immediately think that Glenn is dying because he's saying 'Mag', but that could be for a number of reasons.
