This is perfect. Mild spoilers if you haven't watched Sunday's episode.

The whole storyline of the chase with Rick, Darryl and Jesus was some of the best this show has been in a longtime in my opinion. It made this episode so much fun to watch. Also, if you aren't aware, there's a Walking Dead miniatures game that's on Kickstarter right now. I'm in! Reminded me a lot of the "Pine Barrens" episode of the Sopranos, and that's a good thing...a little humor to lighten things up on such a serious show never hurts! LOVED when Darryl shook the can of soda before tossing it at Jesus' feet! CLASSIC! |

Great episode tonight. Man, what great character development for Glenn. He's got a strong wife he can count on. He got to see his future baby. He's a role model for Abraham. Sure excited that he'll be around for a nice long time with this group.

This season's finale was possibly THE single most intense hour of television I have EVER witnessed... Jeffrey Dean Morgan killed it!

This season's finale was possibly THE single most intense hour of television I have EVER witnessed... Jeffrey Dean Morgan killed it! I will agree with you up until the point where they copped out at the ending. Bad use of a cliffhanger. They've used a lot of cheap ploys to f with the viewers this season. Glen's 'death', Daryl getting shot last episode, and now this. I thought the finale did a good job of slowly revealing that these people are doomed. Going in circles, thinking they have a way out but end up being boxed in. Reminded me of the old 70's thriller "Race with the Devil" (which also involved an RV trying to escape evil psychos). The intensity of the last scene was out of control. Rick realizing that they are f'ed and he's helpless to do a damn thing about it. Very well done. I didn't buy the stupid reasoning for all of the main characters leaving at the same time. Too convenient. Lazy storytelling. At least leave ONE competent leader behind, not Rev. Teary Eyes. Just like the huge botch of letting your only medically competent person go out on a pointless excursion. The writers want you to think these people somewhat have their s**t together but then have them do stupid things like this just to force the story. I am also not a fan of what they've done with my favorite character Carol. Here breakdown was too much too quick. She started as a weak person, forged herself into an ultimate survivor, then just falls apart. Nah. This has been a good season for the most part but towards the end it got unbelievable. JDM's Negan was superb, so at least that made up for it a little. |

The last 5 minutes had my heart beating thru my chest and then...flatline...for all the wrong reasons. This show is too good and too well written to resort to such a cheap tactic. Very disappointing

I loved that Negan's monologue was pretty much work for word what it was in the comic. I think it was a total whip out to not reveal who was clubbed. I think the ending was a copout because they aren't sure just who they want to kill off. If it's not Glenn, I will be seriously disappointed.

I am on the other side of the fence, I liked the ending and it was a classic tv cliffhanger to wanting us the viewer to speculate on who it is and to bring you back for more. I think they know who died and as they said on the Talking Dead, this was the end of one chapter and the breaking down of Rick and his group and the reveal of who died is the start of a new chapter. The 2nd half of season 6 was far better than the first half, so season 7 could be something really good to watch and I like where the Morgan & Carol storyline is headed after this finale...

The cliffhanger really didn't bother me... And I thought the buildup to the final encounter was extremely well done...
There are some aspects of this season that I did not like... Including Carol's entirely too rapid breakdown... But, I'm definitely looking forward to next season...
In the end, I felt an emotional connection to the characters in their moment of absolute desperation... Which is basically what I want when I'm watching a show.
