I don't think they'll go that far with it, but I can definitely see them giving her more of a conscience and internal struggle to deal with. I think they're going to tone down the soulless killing machine angle.

The towns only doctor wants to go outside the wall with no training. We stated that this is a bad idea, but we're going to allow it to happen anyway. Thank God the bullet just grazed Eugene or they would have been digging two graves that day.

And now Carol is on the run again. Daryl (and possible others) are going to go out looking for her next episode, which is only going to lead to another run in with the Saviors by the end of the episode. Only this time it's not going to go so well for one of main characters.

With that said....Does Glen die ?

My bet is still on Daryl. Killing Glenn won't have as much of an impact after the fake out earlier in the season.

That's how Glen goes in the comics, but Abraham is the one that takes an arrow to the head, so we know to specific character deaths.

I'm betting....Negan, ties up Maggie....and a walker eats Glen's baby from her womb....while Glen watches in the final episode. I bet thats what going to happen......Its not Glen...Its Maggie and the baby....getting chowed on......

Jordo!

That crossbow bolt was meant for

Good for them keeping in Eugene's bite attack on Dwight

BTW, I might have missed this, but when did Daryl run into Dwight previously?

Was he with the first group of Saviors they basically nuked, or was this a reference to the random gang he had run into a while back?

Just wondering, because if its the former, was the implication that Daryl gave Dwight the burns and not

Also, is it just me, or are they working hard to make the Saviors seem a wee bit more sympathetic...

Looking forward to seeing Lucile -- she's a vampire bat!

Yes, many episodes ago...Daryl saved him and two women from some people. Then they stole Daryl's bike and crossbow.....

Jordo!

Hmm. I vaguely remember that now -- thanks

Oh, hell... well that might be leading to an interesting confrontation soon...

I am so happy this season will be over next week. This half season started out so good and now we're just bullshitting our way to the finish line.

You want to have a conversation? Do it behind the walls and not in the middle of nowhere. Every time they stop to talk they get caught. This should not be unexpected after the **** they've been through.

Well it is still a zombie-related story, so no matter how much deeper or character driven TWD is compared to the rest, it still seems to have to adhere to the survival paradigm. If they were managing the zombie-apocalypse well I guess there wouldn't be good drama.

The Dimer

I understand that there's a need for drama, but I don't understand why it has to come at the cost of main cast looking like morons. I didn't like Denise's loud mouth getting them caught last week, but I accepted it because she'd never been outside the walls before and didn't know any better.

The main cast pulling the same mistake, especially after Daryl and Rosita literally just got caught, makes them look like a bunch of Alexandrians.

Eh, I wish they'd gotten Henry Rollins for Negan (too old?), but the guy who played the Comedian isn't bad.

All in all, I was pretty happy with (the last 10 minutes of) the episode.

Considering Norman Reedus has a new show coming up, I'm guessing he's the one who got kisses from Lucile?

"He's taking it like a champ!"

So Carol is off to the Kingdom? Hm.

I was on board until they decided to end the season the a flippin' cliffhanger. I was sitting on my couch, heart racing, anticipation building, and then....cut to black. At that moment I took a second to make sure the show was over and all I could muster was, "Oh fuuuuck yoouuu!" At the end of the most cliffhanger-filled season they end it with yet another cliff hanger? What a slap in the face. It's not like people weren't going to watch next season without a cliffhanger, and my fear is that we will start season 7 with a time jump and may have to spend an episode or two figuring out who it was, ruining one of the iconic scenes in the comics.

The rest of the episode wasn't bad. Carol is still being a wimp, but Morgan finally killed someone and it looks like we'll be introduced to the Kingdom soon enough. Father Gabriel looks like he is may be turning into a half-decent character too. We finally got to see the size of the Saviors and for once they actually felt threatening (that look on Rick's face really sold the last scene for me). I think Jeffery Dean Morgan did a great job as Negan in the 6 minutes he was actually on screen.

As far as who got killed I'm down to four people. Off the top of my head we had Rick, Carl, Michonne, Daryl, Glenn, Maggie, Rosita, Eugene, Abraham, and Aaron. Negan mentioned cutting out Carl's other eye and feeding it to Rick if anyone moved, so I think they're safe. I don't think they'd kill one of the women so Michonne, Maggie, and Rosita are safe. Aaron is to insignificant at this point so I think he's safe too.

That leaves Daryl, Glenn, Eugene, and Abraham.
- Daryl would give the most shock value and he's already got the history with Dwayne (plus Norman's new show coming out).
- Glenn dies in the comics so that's an obvious choice, but they've already proven that just because it happens in the comics doesn't mean it'll happen in the show.
- Eugene has been building as a character and had that nice moment where he gave Rick the information to make bullets, but like Aaron, I don't think it would be impactful enough.
- Abraham has also been given more attention this season and he's a brick shithouse who's the most likely to "take it like a champ" and he had that discussion earlier in the episode about settling down and making pancakes with Sasha.

My money is on Daryl, then Abraham, with Glen rounding out the top 3.
