Aside from the cliffhanger, it was a perfect finale.
Agreed, which makes the cliffhanger THAT much more frustrating for me.

Deanna was a pretty major character and she died in season six. Granted, she was not part of the core group and she is major more in terms of world building/pushing the story forward, but she is major none the less.
Deanna was not a major character, give me a break.
1? How about 3... even 4 if you want to count Glenns ******** 2nd fakout...
dumpster...
glenn part 2 (not a cliffhanger)
and ...JUST LAST ****ING EPISODE WITH DARYL.
good grief this show.
I think they know who is dead. They just were to scared to reveal who in fear of losing viewers and interest. Keeping us guessing is just a poor result of a bad creative decision. I don't believe this decision was made to be intended to keep us guessing. I think they did it out of fear.
Of course she is. The Alexandria Safe Zone is likely to be the setting of the show throughout the rest of its run. Deanna is the mastermind behind it. Her bringing Rick into the community opened up the rest of the world and the other communities (Hilltop, The Kingdom, the Saviors, etc) to him. Her death thrust Rick into the leadership role within the Safe Zone and has laid the stage for his conflict with Negan. She may not have been a major character in terms of one we spent much time with or got to know very well, but her impact on the narrative is greater than any character introduced since The Governor.
All things considered, I thought it was still stronger than most, if not all of the TWD finales that came before it.Aside from the cliffhanger, it was a perfect finale.
Double Toasted posted their spoiler talk for last night's episode.
Copout Who Shot JR ending.
Agreed, which makes the cliffhanger THAT much more frustrating for me.
Especially when the setup would be so simple:
Negan does the eenie, meanie bit, finally landing on Glenn. We get a reaction shot of Glenn. Maggie screams "NO!", but two Saviors hold her down.
NEGAN: Anybody moves, anybody says anything, cut the boys other eye out and feed it to his father.
Negan's dialogue is inter-cut with shots of the characters.
(Reaction shot of Rick in total shock. Reaction shot of Carl, in total panic, looking back at Rick.)
NEGAN: You can breathe, you can blink...
(Reaction shot of Abraham, who is being restrained)
NEGAN: You can cry....
(Shot of Maggie still struggling to get free. Shot of Glenn looking up at Negan, petrified)
NEGAN: Hell...you're all going to be doing that..
(We then see the same POV of Negan swinging the bat just as we did before.)
(Closeup of Maggie, in slow motion, giving a primal scream)
(POV of Negan)
NEGAN: Dang! Taking it like a champ!
(Negan goes for another blow, still in the POV perspective. The screen goes black, as we hear the wacks of the bat, and the screams of Glenn's friends. Credits).
Am I wrong, or would that not have been a vastly superior ending? It would take the exact same amount of time, and would have been much more dramatic, and satisfying a cliffhanger.
So ... I decided to rewatch the finale, and I have an observation:
Obviously we all know about the POV shot at the end of the episode. Welp. The episode opens on a POV shot as well (with one of the characters who was captured by Dwight's group, it seems). That same POV shot is shown a couple of times throughout the episode, too. Perhaps that is a hint on who got the bat?
I might be giving too much credit to the writers for doing that, but whatever. If those POV shots were intentional, then the possibilities are Glenn, Daryl, Michonne, and Rosita.
i thought the same thing... and the POVs you are mentioning seem to be from the person in the back... and the last person to exit it? Glenn.
If that's the case, then it's Glenn, you can see Daryl's head momentarily in one of the shots and Glenn's the last to exit.
Maybe they were doing it intentionally.
