The Walking Dead...

[notelsie]

*SPOILER WARNING* If you aren't caught up.

I just wanted to create a discussion for thoughts/predictions about the journey so far and tonight's upcoming episode.

If you are going to post after watching the new episode please make sure to use the spoiler setting since some of us can't watch right away.
-----

What do y'all think of Negan?
Who do you think had some face time with Lucille? (Too soon?)
Do you think anyone else gets killed for trying to intervene?
How long do you think it will take for the group to reunite?

Any other thoughts?

[kawaiikitsune]

1. I, personally, love Negan. He is hilarious in the comics, albeit a psychopath. I like what he represents to the group. They have been top tier for so long and suddenly, this BSC sunuvabitch shows up to kind of remind them that their position can change at any moment in this new world.

2. I'm going to guess that it's either Daryl, Glenn or Abraham. Or, they kill some random ass nobody character to fuck with the fans. I'm going to be salty as hell if it's anyone but Glenn because that's what Kirkman promised way back when. Then again, he also swore the finale wouldn't be a cliffhanger so...

3. I don't think anyone in the group would be that stupid.

4. I'm guessing they'll go straight back to Alexandria, minus one person.

I'm just really looking forward to this season and hope it isn't a total letdown.

Whoops! I never posted my answers. You hit them pretty spot on!

I haven't read the comics, but I really should!

I'm sad to think of a character I love dying in such a horrific way, but I agree that it is good for them to see that things can change so suddenly. Negan seems like an interesting character. This is going to be a wild ride.

I expect a lot more character development, and I'm excited to see where this goes.

I also think it will be Glenn, Abraham, or Daryl.

I don't think anyone would purposely be that stupid, but emotions can make people do crazy things sometimes so who knows?

^This, so much. A lot of really awesome people are about to enter the fray and I am so, so excited to see them play out off the page. They have done so well, thus far, with Alexandria and Jesus so my expectations are super high.

Losing a main character is gonna break my heart, no matter who it is, to tell the truth.

[TheEleventhHour]

Sooooo I only watched the first half or so of last season. Last season's finale is on right before the premiere tonight so I am going to watch that. That being said DH has watched it all and has been talking about it non-stop. He thinks either Glenn or Abraham gets killed. I am excited for Negan. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a great actor so I am excited to see him in the role. I am off for the next three Sundays so hopefully I will stay caught up this season!

There is a marathon on AMC right now so you don't have to wait until tonight if you don't want to

I'm still salty af about the cliff hanger and Gimple's asshole-ish response. But anwyay...

I love Negan. Love. Him. He's a psycho, but he's just one of those villains that you love. I think JDM will do a good job in this role.

I think Glenn is going to meet Lucille.

I think they will regroup fairly quickly, except for Carol and Morgan. I think they will be hanging out where they are for a few episodes.

I can't say I'm sad about getting to see JDM so much 😍

OMG I am so freaking excited to see some of these characters!

[ceejay]

My guesses at the end of last season were Abraham or Eugene being the one that meets Lucille. I'm also still a bit annoyed that they did the cliffhanger, and I kind of wish they had just gotten this whole thing over with then, because I can't say that I'm actually looking forward to the premiere and seeing (most likely) a favorite character killed in such a brutal way.... I'll watch it but I'm not exactly looking forward to it.

[cjchio]

When it would premier, I would always be so pumped to watch. I am excited to see some of the new characters because I love their comic counterpart.

But I'm kind of meh about watching to see who dies. I wish they had just effing shown who died because this isn't powerful enough, in my opinion,especially if they stick with it being a major character. I've had since the cliffhanger to prepare for it. They should have kept the momentum going when they had it last season.

Between football and a toddler I have been over ruled on what the TV plays today lol. Finally watching now!

[TheEleventhHour]

Also this shit makes me so anxious. Last night I was watching some of the marathon, season 5, which I have seen, and I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS but I still get STRESSED THE FUCK OUT lol. At least I can see the finale of season 6 for the first time immediately before the premiere and not have to wait.

[cjchio]

So, 15 minutes. I'm only really excited about Carol and Morgan's story.

[cjchio]

Also, never thought I would say I'm more excited about a storyline involving Morgan than some of the other characters.

[kawaiikitsune]

They are really gonna drag out the reveal of who died.

Can I just switch to team Negan? I love JDM.

Fuck TWD writers. Seriously.

Right. 15 mins. in and we still don't know. This is a travesty.

This is ridiculous. They need to stop the games.

[kawaiikitsune]

I am so fucking pissed rn.

Same.

That was not satisfying enough to warrant the cliff hanger.

[ceejay]

I'm a little glad/relieved that I was right about who it was. But they absolutely did not need to drag that out for basically 1.5 episodes (all of the finale and then half of this premiere).

[kawaiikitsune]

I stand corrected. Damn, that was brutal as fuck.

[ceejay]

It's like the writers got together and said, hey we have this really important scene that is famous from the comics! Wouldn't it be fun to drag it out as long as possible? To give it more drama?!

Except the viewers are basically like FU writers, just tell us already.

[ceejay]

Also, I didn't watch it. I closed my eyes and fast-forwarded through it. I did not have any desire to see that happen.

This. Had this happened cleanly last season. Perfect.

This,however, did not fix my opinion of Gimple and co.

Me either. I was cursing Kirkman at first for being a sell-out piece of shit.  Like, legit, why drag it out except to fuck with us?

Exactly! This is just bullshit. This isn't good writing. This is copy and pasting from the comic with some added "suspense"
