Being the Devil's advocate kind of guy, I would suggest that the possibility that the original script may have been changed and the ending altered. For all we know, they could have originally shot it with Abe having his head bashed in.
Shows that the writer having no clue what happened in the episode at all. The useless Carol tsngent, which only served the purpose of introducing the group they will need next season, is a prime example of that.
He was the only one who didn't look scared during the whole Negan meet and greet. I thought that was kind of cool.
Yes. There was no other way to "introduce" a group. I'm sorry the mean article writer hurt your feelings.
Only because he does not know what is in store for him with Negan's men. Carl is about to have his stool pushed in.
They tried that at the end of season 4.Ditkaless Wonders said:
With the number of times that Negan's group has had the Alexandrian's captured at gunpoint without being able to take out a single one of them, they pretty much had to make it clear that someone actually died or we'd all have assumed this was just superhero escape sequence #7. Heck, with the incompetence of these guys at finishing anyone off I'm still not quite convinced that Negan didn't swing and miss and hit a bottle of ketchup that sprayed on the camera lens.Nathan R.

With the way these character's entire life motto's switch on a dime lately, he'll probably be a more violent version of Shane by episode 3 of next season.
This is a very good summary. The actual Negan scene would have been pretty good in a vacuum (minus the cliff-hanger of course). But it was ruined by 75 minutes of pointless build-up, and by the time they finally got around to revealing him, it was impossible not to be looking at your watch and realizing that the episode was about to end and they were going to have to leave things hanging. And that was the best part of the episode. Literally everything else was terrible.cstu said:
I haven't thought this till somewhat recently, but it seems they stopped trying to make a good show and are trying to "throw off" the audience instead thinking it makes for good drama since they know how much this show is talked about on Talking Dead and social media, and numerous online articles.
what happened the first 10 minutes of the show? Morgan found Carol?swirvenirvin said:
That's been my growing feeling - they are now specifically making the show for the hype, instead of just making a good show.
Negan's #2 is a pretty good character too.
The miscarriage was Negan's plan to get Rick and whoever would join him outside the gates on their way to Hilltop so they could ambush them. Enid is the plant. Enid gave Maggie the pickles which made her sick knowing they'd have to get her to a doctor. Dwight had told Negan that their doctor (Denise) was dead. He knew they'd try to take her to hilltop to see their doctor. Blocked known roads and waited.
If Enid was a spy she would've told Negan about Alexandria MONTHS ago and he would've been forcing them to give him 50% of everything a long time before Rick got there.
Maybe. Other than the houses and electricity, etc.. what did Alexandria have? They hadn't begun to plant fields, didn't have cattle. Had a small armory but no real soldiers to pose a threat. Although, they did have lots of women for Negan... so I don't know. Maybe Enid liked it there (the short time she was there) and didn't want to tell Negan or maybe she didn't get pulled into Negan's group until after she'd been there for awhile. Never know with the writing on the show.
I don't think it would matter what they had. He'd just want half. I get the impression that a guy like Negan doesn't care if you have or don't have something.....it's just about taking what you do have from you.
How would Dwight have known that Denise was Alexandria's doctor? As far as he knew, she was just some chubby chick he accidentally killed while aiming for Daryl. He'd never been inside Alexandria.
to whom many thought it would be.
This whole thing fascinates me. Why would they change it after the fact? Like I said, I don't even care who it is anymore because they removed all the drama from the buildup. They ruined it now and we'' all find out before the season starts anyway. I listened. Sounds horrifying. They should've kept it like that. Would've been awesome.Someone posted a link to Audio before the finale which I refused to click.. And AMC is doing all they can to delete the file any time it shows up, so this might not last long..
Oh, not like it should be needed but.... Possible SPOILER.... DO NOT CLICK THE LINK if you don't want to know!
The ending of the audio sure seems to give it away....
Now they could easily redo the ending and pretend that never happened.. But if they stick with it
