When did I say it was perfect? I still liked it.

The reveal last night would have been great.

However I won't ***** and moan about it.

 

[Peasy]

Sorry not everything they do is "great".

Also, its currently the lowest rated episode of the season (series?) lol, all i see are negative things about it. I wouldnt consider that great IMO.

 

[taurine330]

I can't tolerate the boredom that is TWD. I got through 4 episodes. That was enough for me.

It was one of the weakest finale's I've seen from a top rated show. It goes up toe to toe with Dexter.

If there was one more episode, I would have been fine with a cliffhanger like this. Still not a good way to end a massive build up but at least you have one more episode to show the fall out. Now there will be leaks. It will be unavoidable. We will all know who dies. And no one will care very much for the premier in October, even if people will still watch, that episode will always be known as the episode that could have been.

People would have talked about this episode and how great it was. Instead they pull the cop out. It's not very entertaining.

Once again, when did I say it was even great? I said the reveal would have been great.

I still liked the episode. I didn't mind the ending. The moment will still happen. It's called patience.

That's the beautiful thing about Entertainment. It's all subjective. Things hit with people beautifully.

The entire Walking Dead episode was amazing.

Ending was great.

The ******** it has caused is the best part. People are so damn spoiled these days.

While it is subjective, there is also a general consensus.

It wasn't bad. It was great. Just the ending wasn't what people wanted.

The people wanted blood. And they need to wait for it

Basically it was a ton of build-up with no resolution. 90% (or more) of people who watch the show already know that ____ is the one that dies at this point in the comics, but it wasn't shown who died in the episode. If we find out now in October that ____ did in fact die, it's a big let down after 6 months of waiting (not to mention that we will likely find out who died anyways via social media when they start filming again). So the 90 minute build-up (which I think was pretty good and mostly terrifying) kind of led to nothing but a cliff-hanger.

We know somebody dies, but we don't know who (first-person view of a guy getting beat to death by a bat) and a better reaction would have been seeing the terror on the rest of the groups face while that individual dies and not having the cliff-hanger. I think the cliff-hanger really hurt this finale, because I enjoyed the majority of the rest of the show and Jefferey Dean Morgan (new villain) is awesome.

I liked the episode, but I think seeing who died already would have been better for the show. We could of just seen the fear turn to rage in the rest of the group as it panned to Negan with a big smile on his face. We're setting up a big struggle with the Saviours that will last at least a full season. No need to add a cliff-hanger as well that will be ruined over the summer via social media due to which actor/actress is not filming.

Either way, TWD is good enough that I keep watching it, but typically not quite good enough that I feel the need to watch it as every new episode comes out (Suits!).

Now Suits is a show. Love it.

I like JMD a lot. he's always amazing in whatever he does.
(in Grey's Anatomy, and i LOATHED his character there). thanks for the letting me know. I think i am going to have to wiki some of this. (ie: what is a Saviour, what is a Negan lol).


that is sucky that the payoff wasn't good at the end.
though there's only 6 months of waiting? that's not too bad at all. (given that Game of thrones, Black Sails and Outlander is a year).

I wouldn't be surprised if TWD keeps the actor around for filming until the premiere. Have everyone on set. Tighter with security etc.

If the spoiled episode titles are anything to go by, there's going to be some huge things going on this season

Which I guess isn't that bold a statement since there are huge things that happen every season...

 

[Macallan18]

Fear the Walking Dead starts next week. Dislike it even more thant the TWD.

 

[MarMarSab3]

Not sure how i feel about the ending TBH, Negan is pretty awesome. Fwiw i think its Daryl

 

[The Podium]

The finale was awful. I mean, Walking Dead does a lot of filler episodes where nothing really happens, but this is mainly to set up some of the best episodes in television history. The fact that they had such a big reveal, and the potential to knock this one out of the park with what could've been a series defining episode is why it was so disappointing. Oh well, still a great show and Ill be back for season 7, just need to avoid any potential spoilers.

Suits season finale also disappointed. I mean, this season as a whole was probably the best of any show Ive watched, but the finale was very predictable and anti-climatic.

It's going to be Eugene. He is no use to anyone anymore since he gave Rick his "recipe". But then again they exaggerated his goodbye before they got caught so maybe it is too much of an obvious choice?

I heard that the author writes v. v. v. slow

A Song of Ice and Fire is his Masterpiece and one of the greatest achievements of modern fantasy writing. I dont need a book every 6 months if the quality is high.

But yes, hes slow.

I doubt it's Darryl. What a terrible, terrible way for a fan-favourite player to go. He got no screen time the entire episode...

It's got to be one of Abraham, Eugene, Glenn, or Aaron (because he is not as big of a character). Abraham and Eugene were given closings to the characters in this past episode as they were central parts and settled their differences. I personally think it will be Abraham and this will start a bigger divergence from the comics for the rest of the show. I think Abraham would be the best to go as he is a key character that a lot of people like, but not enough to piss a ton of people off if he dies.

While I think Darryl could die soon, he's probably the favourite Walking Dead character and if he actually does die, the premiere episode better be entirely about his last few days (which it could be).

You. He started out great. Did 3 books very fast. GoT came in 96 aCOK in 98, and aSoS in 2000. Since than GRRM has taken a verrrrrrry long time to write. Still he produces amazing quality but I just wish it was done a bit faster.

I could spend hours on this website I think. I have all ready spent so much time reading stuff that I forgot or to refresh myself on certain details.

The world GRRM (and his staff I guess) created is just superb. The TV show hasn't been perfect about certain thing, time restraints being a key factor, but every key scene has been almost perfect to be honest. Unlike The Walking Dead...
