    TWD. So there a line at the end that indicates it's not Carl or Rick, there's a 2nd line that suggests it's not someone weak . "taking it like a champ". So not Daryl Eugine or Maggie. Sexist? Then not Rosita or Sasha. :grin:

    That narrows it a little.

    In my opinion no way Maggie site there quiet while it's Glenn.

    The ginger fella gets it imo

    Fair argument. However those final lines are what he says to Glenn in the comics, I think they've included them to make viewers ask that question ... is it Glenn? rather than it relating to the stoicism in the face of bludgeoning of the victim. After all the teasing they did regarding Glenn dying in that earlier episode I don't think it's him somehow as it's essentially the same move. My call is Eugene. They've set him up as the sacrificial offering in 2 episodes so it would make sense that they follow through on it, he's given Rick the guidelines on how to make ammunition so he's essentially useless to them now, however this could be simply what they want you to think. In the same way your reading of it being Abe because he's no-nonsense and would just take it could also be the show directing you towards that outcome. In fact you can say the same and find an argument for all the characters really. It's hard to say who it is !!

    Agreed they've set it up and put in a few red herrings.

  10. I'd suggest not reading this board for a day or two mate <ok>

  11. Why not Daryl from that comment? Why wouldn't he take it like a champ?

    I think that would be the best story but age with others it'll be Eugene.


    PS...**** the spoiler, it's aired now!

  12. Oh, and I know he's meant to be a bad guy but Negan is great!

    Because he's been shot and is struggling to stay up anyway.

    I think the Eugene thing is the red herring and it's ginge who'll get it.
     
    #14733
  14. Could be. They've been building Eugene's character in recent weeks to the point where he no longer needs Abe. By passing the prints for making bullets at that stage, he doesn't need to convince Rick later.

    As much as I like the bigger characters, I'd like to see one of them die to make a bigger statement.

    I thought the episode was very good. Six seasons building Rick up as this invincible leader to then knock right back down in one episode. Brilliant!

    Also, they're are quite a few that are still elsewhere as well.

    Well I liked the episode, and I always like the Negan storyline, but the cliffhanger thing, while the Producers and creators will argue all sorts of reasons as to why they did it that way.
    On Talking Dead, Scott M Gimple (The Showrunner) argued that it was because meeting Negan was the end of one story and the fallout from the death of the person he killed starts another story.
    But thats cop out city, I hate it when shows cop out like that. Its been done like this for two reasons:

    1) As Stanley said, they want to build up hype for the launch of season 7, and everyone drooling at the thought of tuning in, in October when it starts to find out what happens (This is completely unnecessary as the Walking Dead has the highest ratings of any drama show on TV, ever, bizarrely).

    2) They flat out haven't decided who they wanted to kill in that scene and are spending the next couple of months discussing what would be best story wise, who they can kill, which actor doesn't want to be on the show any more etc etc. It stinks of real life events dictating the narrative of the TV show, which stinks. I know that is sometimes unavoidable. But it really kills the immersion.

    I will continue watching and liking The Walking Dead, its still better than 90% of the stuff on TV. But people who say its the best show on TV, I just feel sorry for them. Same as I do about people who said the same thing about Breaking Bad (which, like TWD, was very good, but the writing was not the best at all and it pales in comparison to most of the stuff HBO and Showtime put out).

  16. But you're a yank lover <whistle> I loved BB and it remains top of my list.

    The only thing that annoys me is that we'll find out who was killed long before episode one of season seven is aired. We knew Glenn hadn't died for the same reason; he was on set recording forthcoming episodes. Someone will tick off the characters as they see them for process of elimination.

    I'd preferred it if we'd seen who died. Only way it wouldn't have maintained interest is if they've picked a easy target. The Aaron for example.

    Mike dissaproves.

    The last season, if I am honest, was ****e. It was an interesting concept that had lost steam by season 4.

    I agree. Even though I really don't care about this show its clear it should have ended up after season 5.

    The opposite to game of thrones.. got has an end story but a writer who is lazy as sin so they have to stretch but can kill off loads of characters as the lazy ****ers early work when he needed money provided it.

    Twd has well run its course.

    Same as got. Stabby stabby is pointless in that show if the actor is seen filming on set for next series.
