I think it will be more of a Yakety Sax affair.
The Industry did not make the post. 
Do you think the writers consider things like that?
We have zombies, for crying out loud.
Thanks for that clip.
In the eenie-meenie-miney-mo game, it could be possible to assume that anyone who has not been pointed to (tagged) yet would be the likely victim. Those who have been enumerated are “safe”, unless they go around more than once. There was one point in possibly Glenn’s direction and one time he was pointed to with no comment (watch again closely), which would seem to suggest to me that Glenn is the guy. I’m pretty sure Negan knew exactly who he would kill despite trying to make it appear random. So what prompted Negan to choose in the comics? Given what we know of him so far, what would be the thing to set him off? Ima guess disobedience.
Yeah, there’s a reason they had him charge at Negan.
Glenn is definitely the #1 choice.
Abraham is probably #2.
#3 I would guess Michonne. Only because Rick, Korrl, and Daryl are untouchable (And in this situation Maggie basically is - in the show overall she’s not but at the moment being pregnant there’s no way they would end her like that). And the other characters present nobody gives enough of a shit about for their deaths to have a big emotional impact for the audience.
I think this is the least talked about season finale that I have read about on various message boards (including the official one).
No one seems happy with it… and there just doesn’t seem to be all that much talk about “Who can it be now?” that died. Simply because the show and the comics have said it could be anyone (other than Rick and Carl). We’ve become numb to the idea it could be one of our favorites.
Personally, I think they should have shown who died… and then have Negan get clipped by “we don’t know who”.
Now that would have had us actually speculating since it wouldn’t have been in the comics.
That’s your solution? Have Negan appear and then clipped in the same episode? I think I prefer the one they showed us, thanks.
Meh. I’m not expecting a lot from the Negan arc. He’s a psycho who Rick’s gang will take a painfully long time getting around to killing (there will be numerous unexploited opportunities, I’m guessing at least one per episode), some of the less ambiguously evil members of his crew will fall in with Rick, life goes more or less on. Governor 2.0.
I may have found a goof.
Alexandria is
But re-watching last night’s episode just before Carol gets caught by her stalker, there’s a sign on a building (quilting factory) that says it’s in South Carolina.
Also I doubt Glenn would be able to control himself once Negan took the first swing at Maggie even knowing he’d get the entire group killed.
I have to be honest, I’m fascinated by your original question. I can’t for the life of me figure out your concept of how scheduling works.
Your original question seems to imply that you think Norman Reedus wouldn’t be able to film a 6-8 episode reality show between filming Walking Dead seasons because…the only thing they can do is watch the show? They aren’t allowed to work while the show airs?
Thanks, Ellis.
The “goof”, as I noted in an earlier thread, is that no one would name a subdivision “Alexandria” in that area because there is a city of that name right there. It would be extremely confusing. It might be named “Alexandria Commons” or “Alexandria Crossing” or something like that, but not just “Alexandria”.
It’s a shame that Mike from Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul didn’t survive to the apocalypse. He once beat the crap out of Negan’s number one henchmen armed with nothing more than a pimento sandwich.
Benny Hill as Negan? But with a cricket bat. :eek:
I’d pay to watch that. 
(post shortened)
Negan doesn’t care if they beg, barrow, or steal their tribute to him and the Saviors. I believe he said it all evens out in the end. Negan’s rule numero uno is Give Me Your Shit. Death is not an option, it’s a promise.
Oh vey, what a poorly presented final three episodes of the series.
The only thing it did – and it did it very poorly – was demonstrate that while Rick is somewhat good at tactics, he does not think strategically.
There were so many stupid things going on after Maggie and Carol got out of the Killing Floor.
Why did they never go back to Hilltop and confirm Negan’s death? Or go to the Hilltop and have Maggie checked out by their medical staff?
Carol and her sudden crisis of conscience, yet still killing people, and running off alone? Ridiculous.
Darryl wanting revenge on Dwight and running off alone? Even dumber than Denise going out for a soft drink.
I can understand what they were trying to do with the roadblocks in the finale: It bookends how the season started with Rick’s crew shepherding thousands of zombies away from Alexandria. But oh man, it was completely railroaded with too many callbacks to prior seasons involving the Termites, especially the bullets in the ground when they encountered the chain gang.
But what really annoys me is those final seconds, and how stupidly they were shot.
Now I know that the network is concentrating on the long tail of the show – and all those people who tune in for the marathon in September, or who will be watching on Netflix, won’t give a damn about a cliffhanger – they’ll simply tune in 3 seconds later to find out exactly who was killed.
And I understand that if they actually showed who was killed it would give the audience six months to mourn, and so they would then face a challenge, as writers, of ramping up tension in Season 7 ep 1.
But goddamn, a ridiculous cliffhanger like that is how you piss off your core audience, and pissing off your core audience is how you threaten the long-term future of your investment.
Especially since who Negan kills is the biggest goddamn open secret in TWD. I mean, I’ve never even seen a TWD comic book, but everyone who has talked about Negan’s introduction says who he kills when you first meet him.
Neverminding the fact that in this episode alone there are plenty of clues that indicate one of the four people previously captured is one of those killed, and what’s the point of killing a guy who’s already been shot, or killing a woman?
Instead we got Jeffrey Dean Morgan acting like some prissy martinet and pretending to be scary.
What a flop.
Somebody needs to throw that guy out a window!
Schrodinger’s cliffhanger?
Cliffhangers in cinema (and then TV) have been around since the silent era’s The Perils of Pauline. They continued to draw audiences with the Saturday matinees such as Flash Gordon and the original Batman. The most famous was probably Dallas with it’s Who Shot J.R…
The format works if they do it right, and don’t over do it.
Did Glenn die at the end of season 5? That seems to have worked better than this “somebody died and you get to guess who” shtick. Is it someone I care about, or is it someone who hasn’t spoken 100 words of dialogue during the series? They killed Glenn. Those basturds! vs They killed what’s her name. Who is she again?
The problem is that the network announced well in advance that a major character was going to die in this season finale. That set up the audience’s expectations, which they subsequently failed to deliver on with this weak-ass cliffhanger.
If we had gone into this episode with no expectations whatsoever, I don’t think people would be nearly as outraged about the cliffhanger ending as they are now.
