Written, likely. In production next month.

The army of people who torture other groups for fun and take half of their stuff on a continual basis may have enough food and fuel to run around playing games.

Well, I could be wrong, but I don't think the season 7 viewer ratings have been released yet. So, it's kind of hard to say that wasn't accomplished.

A few cast members said something to this effect. They probably filmed different takes and then decided on which to go with.

I'm obviously in the minority here, but I did not want to see a main character physically getting beat to death with a barbed wire baseball bat on my television screen. It seems, more and more, that is the main gripe: that we did not get to see one of our beloved cast members beaten into a red, gooey pulp.

Glenn had the riot gear rocking for a while, a few seasons back.

So you're saying the ending didn't make an impact?

The real question is, how would Donald Trump review this episode?

I guess they didn't pack it up for the trip. Huge oversight. But, it seems like they had 2 left.

Nobody wants to accept that because the masses that watch have become so desensitized. But, considering it was highly rumored that the season 5 premiere was edited and censored, it's certainly plausible.

She's hanging out with Heull in his hotel room, presently.

Nah, I'd check your local abuse laws. Holding someone against their will, regardless of how much it is "for their own good" is a very clear and chargeable abuse offense. Abuse and violence doesn't mean you have to be beaten.

So, basically, you just wanted Negan to be introduced and be done with it, and are mad because they waited til the end to do so.

And that's the thing. It's a television show. It lives and dies on ratings, at the end of the day. Mass appeal keeps it going. Just ask those Arrested Development folks about loyalty to a small following.

Like it or not, the show accomplished its goal. It made people feel very uncomfortable and everyone is still talking about it.

Well, the shocking part has occurred. Even if you follow the comics and knew this would happen, the violent death has occurred.

Seems like, with your conviction that they would built this up only to kill a minor character, you would be shocked if it were a major one when the new season begins.

Locking someone in a closet is pretty abusive.

Exactly. All these guys have contract and union rules (at least to an extent) to abide by. The filming starts back up in May, so they all know the score.

Like Norman Reedus' motorcycle show?
