Walking Dead Spoilers, News & Talk

[Kimbo]

So who you think is going to be Sacrificed to the Ratings Gods(killed on the Season Finale):

Carol

If you watched last week’s episode of The Walking Dead, you know it was centered almost exclusively on Carol as she began questioning her brutal philosophy of killing anyone who needed killing. Perhaps inspired by Morgan, she doesn’t want to have to kill anyone anymore—which is unfortunate for her for two reasons. The first is that showing mercy in The Walking Dead is a pretty surefire way of getting killed, and the second is that Carol has had an extremely satisfying character arc, one that has essentially wrapped up. And man, would it be crushing to see Carol embrace her humanity again only to be immediately murdered by a villain who has none.

Daryl

“If Daryl dies, we riot,” cries the Walking Dead fandom, and they cry it a lot. Which is exactly why there’s such a good chance that Daryl will be the one to go come season finale time. It’s a character so beloved that it would hurt the audience incredibly while cementing Negan as totally evil. Plus, Daryl’s character is in kind of a weird limbo on the show, helping Rick, but not really having any stories of his own. What better use for him than to give viewers the most upsetting TWD episode ever?

Glenn

Despite promising that “hard-left turn” from this specific character death, the showrunners have been trolling fans mercilessly by incorporating allusion after allusion to Glenn, Negan and baseball bats, beginning with his near death by a different baseball bat at Terminus. Could TWD’s “hard left-turn” by a total lie and we’re going to watch Glenn die anyways? It’s entirely possible. Also, remember that Maggie is pregnant, and having a kid is often its own mark of death for characters in these types of shows. I would also like to state that it would be entirely within The Walking Dead’s purview to kill Glenn… and then also kill someone else.

Abraham

In the comics, Abraham is Rick’s right-hand man. In the show, he’s a bit more aimless, although he’s always good in a fight (or for finding rocket launchers). If Daryl dies, this will likely mean that Abraham might finally get his due, but we can’t ignore the possibility that the show will keep Daryl and kill Abraham in his stead. It would be giving the fans what they want, which TWD is certainly not above doing at least once in a while, and again, Abe really doesn’t have much going on other than pining for Sasha. Purely from a storytelling perspective, he could be removed without fundamentally altering the show. But it seems like TWD wants to fundamentally alter the show with Negan’s arrival, so his lack of purpose might actually be what saves him.

Maggie

I don’t believe The Walking Dead is quite willing to kill a pregnant woman and her unborn baby... at least I hope not. (Sure, it killed Lori, but she still managed to give birth just before she died.) Maggie’s death would unequivocally turn TWD into “misery porn,” and I think a lot of viewers would revolt—and I think the show knows this, too. On the other hand, can the show actually handle two babies from a storytelling perspective? Trying to incorporate Rick’s young daughter Judith has occasionally been a chore for the writers. Another might be too much

I think when she got hit in the stomach the baby is dead an now there is a "zombaby" in her belly slowly eating its way through her stomach! Ok I could be wrong on this one LOL...


Seriously I think it will be Abraham he would be a loss and would be shocking or maybe we are looking at this all wrong maybe it will be multiple people like Abraham and Morgan..

[Kimbo]

My money is on Daryl, he just is not in the comic books. With my second guess being Carol!!Glenn dies in the comic books to Negan but I think he will be spared!!has of right now anyone except Rick and Michone!!

[wickedjoker]

Don't forget they said they wanted the TV series to take a different direction than the book at some point could that be now?

[wickedjoker]

WOW just WoW looks like Abraham was spared and they off'd Denis (Merritt Weave) I dont know how I feel about this I loved her in Nurse Jackie but hated her in TWD. What do you all think was this a good KILL or should Abraham been the one off'd like the book.

BTW the D*** Biting scene was epic!

[Kimbo]

Still one more death before the season end......I;m worried!!

The Walking Dead” Season 6 final episode spoilers reveal that although the season 6 finale will be supersized at 90 minutes, we won’t see big bad Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) until the last 10 minutes of the episode. The gang will be tormented by the Saviors throughout the show but Negan won’t be there until the bitter end.

TWD spoilers reveal that Negan shows up at the end of the episode and starts with a speech about Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) wiping out too many Saviors. He explains that Alexandria will get the same deal the other communities get – 50% of their output goes to the Saviors and no one else dies.

But Negan’s policy when setting up new business is that he always kills one of the people from that community to make sure they know he’s serious. Spoilers also reveal that Negan will line up the whole group – looks like there’s about 10 of them – on their knees while he chooses a victim.

Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) looks to NOT be in the lineup because he’s a kid. However, Negan will threaten to pluck out Carl’s eye and force Rick to eat it if anyone tries to stop him from killing the person of his choosing. That’s pretty awful. Might as well be dead as blind in the apocalypse!

When Maggie Greene’s (Lauren Cohan) pregnancy pains cause her to scream, Negan will offer to put her out of her misery, but it’s doubtful Negan would kill a woman if he won’t kill a kid – particularly not a pregnant woman – even one who may be miscarrying or giving birth to a monster.

What’s interesting in all of this – and that we heard a couple of episodes ago – is that Negan’s Saviors truly believe that Rick and his Alexandrians are the bad guys. Yes, the Saviors are taking from the communities, but they offer protection. They see the Alexandrians as total black hats.

Rick and his bunch admittedly have taken life after life. The Savior body count is pretty high. They killed six or seven on the road with a rocket launcher – Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) took out a whole truckload of them herself plus the ones she and Maggie knifed and burned alive.

Plus, several more died at the railroad tracks before Dwight (Austin Amelio) called them off and they ran. They have to be at least 30 down from Rick and company. That’s about as many people as live in the whole of Alexandria. To the Saviors, Rick’s group looks like homicidal maniacs.

The bottom line is, Negan lines up the gang, has them on their knees and chooses one seemingly at random for slaughter. We’ll see the bat come down from the perspective of his chosen victim and Negan will strike several times before that person dies and the scene cuts to black.

But we will NOT KNOW who died until the beginning of season 7. Looks like “The Walking Dead” showrunners are going to leave us hanging to see who dies for many long months. Josh McDermitt (aka Eugene) commented on the finale recently saying “You’re screwed. There is no preparing for it.”

So fans of TWD, now you know to brace yourself for 80 minutes of build-up then 10 minutes of Negan’s pre-murder monologue then a brutal bat beating. Plus, TWD showrunners have indicated nothing will be said by or about the victim to give us any clue as to who dies.

The leaked audio of the final seconds of the season finale has people reporting that is Daryl!!!

Going to be a long haul waiting until October for the start of season 7. But have done it many times before, so it is doable.

[Android Man]

Makes you think who is the good guys and who isnt. That one woman that was holding carol and maggies said to her...your not the good guys.
Dont know who got the ax last night. Might be Carl or might be Daryl.
Reason i think Daryl is because usually on the show the talking dead...the actor that gets the ax from the show is usually on the talking dead.
Although the doctor that got the arrow in the eye wasn't on the talking dead show.

And they have to love everyone speculating and waiting for the next season. It's the way to keep an audience in the fold. They've done a great job all the way.
