[QUOTE=AMC] To save one of their own, Rick’s group must venture outside the walls; their experience changes their lives forever. [/QUOTE] Season finale tonight; 90 minute episode and then next week we switch over to **Fear the Walking Dead** (I still think that title’s stupid). Norman Reedus, Robert Kirkman, & Scott M. Gimple are on **Talking Dead**. ---

Norman Reedus on TD? I hadn’t seen that… Does this make Daryl safe? They certainly wouldn’t want to intentionally hint at anything. ---

Ok watching the scene I thought we were supposed to think it was Rick because of what Negan said (“Dad, taking it like a champ!”) but now watching Talking Dead they say they do not know who was killed and purposefully didn’t reveal it. Well fuck them then. ---

Has to be Rick. Would it not makes sense to get rid of a rival leader ? I’ve never been so annoyed with the frequency of commercials before. Every 6 minutes at one point. Google Nexus here I come, bye bye over priced shitty cable. ---

Zero chance it’s Rick, we aren’t that lucky. I heard “Look at that, taking it like a champ”. I vote Abraham, attempting to be a human being usuly leads directly to death, and he was talking about having a baby. ---

Google Nexus here I come, bye bye over priced shitty cable. It doesn’t make sense to keep any of them alive, the whole of Alexandria accounts for not even half of the Saviors they already took out. ---

> [@DigitalC](#): > > It doesn’t make sense to keep any of them alive, the whole of Alexandria accounts for not even half of the Saviors they already took out. Sure, like he said, to work for him. But my money is on the worst possible premiere…they’re back in Alexandria, now under control, and someone just happens to not be there anymore. ---

I could also see Eugene, since he paused to give Rick the cartridge makin’ plans. Either him or Abe, that’s where my money is. ---

Fuck I’m really pissed at the writers jerking the audience around like this. A cliffhanger like this is flat out LAME. Waiting til next year to reveal who died means yet again it’ll probably be a secondary character, since the writers cannot commit to their choices to kill any of the core group. Sometime tell me in a spoiler who it was in the comics, because I so don’t even care anymore. ---

It’s obvious the Saviors are _way_ bigger and more successful than anyone predicted. Now I’m thinking the insulin may have very subtle foreshadowing of that instead of just another dumb goof by the writers. > [@Eyebrows\_0f\_Doom](#): > > Ok watching the scene I thought we were supposed to think it was Rick because of what Negan said (“Dad, taking it like a champ!”) but now watching Talking Dead they say they do not know who was killed and purposefully didn’t reveal it. > > Well fuck them then. Negan said “If anyone moves cut the kid’s other eye out and feed it to his father”; I thought that made it pretty clear neither are on Lucille’s receiving end.
