Tonight. Hope it's good.

 

[rashad]

That's a twist!

 

[squeekness]

Finally, something happened that wasn't boring.

 

[rashad]

Well damn!!!

 

[squeekness]

That I saw coming.

 

[Drizzle]

That part just seemed so much more epic in the comic.

 

[squeekness]

Oh, wait. That I didn't. WTF?

 

[squeekness]

It went down EXACTLY like that in the comics?

 

[NotNickFury]

No, it didn't. At least in the comic, after Negan got slashed across the neck, he struck back by breaking Rick's leg.

And wow, this is...really underwhelming.

 

[galmorzu]

Very close, yeah. At least the bit with Negan and the choice about him.

 

[rashad]

Holy ****!

 

[squeekness]

After Rick's speech I figured that --

Spoiler

they would have at least amputated Negan's legs or something to make sure he wasn't a future threat.

Negan is still alive in the comic. Actually ends up teaming up with Rick.

 

[NotNickFury]

Yeah, that wasn't good in my opinion. Underwhelming is the key word here. Much as I don't like the cliffhanger from "Last Day on Earth," there was some tension leading up to that ending. Here...there was none of that.

 

[Sithborg]

So, next season is Civil War?

sigh...

Hope they paid out for Lauren.

 

[squeekness]

So more of the same, then? I suppose the ratings will fall further then.

 

[Sithborg]

Having [blackout]Maggie, Daryl, and especially Jesus[/blackout] having a heel turn is just... what the bad place are the smoking. I understand not liking that Negan is alive. Even going so far as to plan to kill him. But plotting against all of Alexandria, and the other communities?

I would question what Gimple is smoking, as this seems like worse than his normal drek.

That was the last great episode minus the cliffhanger. There was actually a sense of dread. Now we get this finale. Gimple is a hack.

 

[Morg]

I still hate Eugene, Negan should be dead and now a coup?

 

[Sithborg]

Yeah, it would've been good except for the set up for next season.

Which a point was brought up. [blackout]Daryl lets Dwight go. Yet, he is all about turning on Rick and the others because he let Negan live. The more I think about it, the more I just want to scream. This plot line is beyond idiotic, and even more inconsistancy. Wasn't it just a few episodes ago that Rick was all about killing former Saviors?[/blackout]

I'm out.

 

[squeekness]

It's pretty sad that even all of that just fails to excite.

 

[Sithborg]

Even worse, the opposite of excitement.

 

[Drizzle]

As far as TWD season finales go, there have been worse IMO (the season 3 and 5 finales were anticlimactic), but it still capped off a mostly lackluster season. It just feels like this should have happened a while ago.

 

[squeekness]

If it's any consolation, Morgan's travels so far in Fear aren't any more exciting than this finale.
