That finale was weak sauce (gee Rick, you're not being herded exactly where they want you to be or anything), except for Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Wow, that guy nailed Negan. They should have introduced him two or three episodes back. [Reply]

The episode was pretty meh for a finale.
did they ever resolve where Darryl got shot? [Reply]

Not specifically but given Daryl's position relative to Dwight when he got shot and where all the blood was on Daryl it's reasonable to assume it was his left arm.
Daryl's left hand was completely bloody and when Dwight surprised Daryl a shot to that arm would be easiest and the least fatal. [Reply]

I have no idea who they are...do they take awhile to show in the comics or around when Negan does [Reply]
I'm getting a feeling this show is reaching the end of the road unless they come up with something new and exciting besides a new bunch of bad guys to fight. There's a reason zombie movies are only an hour or so long and I give them credit for how long they held out. [Reply]

Feel very much the same. Looking back the show has followed the same formula since the second season: get somewhere, find some new people, try to make a go of it, some external force upsets the plan and sends everyone scattering to the new location where some new people try to make a go of it until an outside force screws everything up for the good guys.
I don't read the comics but even killing off main characters isn't shocking anymore. Maybe if they find out what caused the zombie apocalypse that would be interesting, but as things stand now the show - while wildly successful - needs to find a new direction. [Reply]

It's been forever since a main character has died.

Who was the last one?
Depends on your definition of a main character and even it hasn't been recently it's been often:
Shane
Amy
Sophia
Dale
Big Tiny
T-Dog
Lori (Rick's wife)
Merle
Andrea
Herschel
The Governor
Lizzi (more shocking than main character)
Holly
Deanna
I can't even think of the big guys name that was with Carol when she shot Lizzi. Is he still alive? I'd say the shock value of 'main' character deaths is over when you start forgetting if a guy who was around for a whole season is still alive or how he got put down. [Reply]

Tyreese? No, he's tits up. Biter got him last season when he was tripping balls at that small housing development. The younger black kid went all chicken shit. [Reply]
Abraham. "You took that one like a champ" was what Negan said after his first swing of Lucille. Obviously Rick isn't gonna die. Carl, Rosita, Maggie, Glenn and Mullett Head would be out after one swing. Michonne, Daryl and Abraham seem like the only tough probabilities of the group that would react that way.
Abraham stood firm like he wasn't scared when Negan first talked him, so he's my best guess.
How are they going to go into war next season without a guy like Abraham? [Reply]
