And how many times have you posted or commented on the ending today? I mean, it did make an impact. Maybe not the one you wanted, but the reaction shows it made one.

For real. I don't get why people insist it came out of nowhere.

No, you weren't. It didn't come out of nowhere, though. People have mental breakdowns in real life all the time, because of repressed feelings of some sort. She's repressed a great deal - abuse victim, losing her only daughter, being kicked out of the group, living in solitude, having to kill her adopted daughter,…

Nah. He doesn't have to introduce himself to their group anymore after this.

Because it's Eugene.

Seems like it did make a large impact, both literally and figuratively. I mean, if they simply go back to the way life was in Alexandria, then I could see your argument. But, I doubt that is going to happen.

Maybe him overselling himself is part of his character. You know he's going to have a weakness.

I think Abraham would carry quite a bit of weight. The others, save perhaps Eugene, not likely. Fan favorites aren't fan favorites because of the legit screen time they get (although it usually goes hand in hand) but with how their character is developed. Sasha's character - they tried to develop her but it didn't…

I think a lot of common sense should be put into practice here. Carol has been through more trauma than anyone else in the show. Her breakdown was coming, sooner or later. When else would it happen, if not the first time they've legitimately settled somewhere and have the time to think?

It subtly (or not so much) shows his fatal flaw. He's not as confident as he boasts, and he's likely pretty damn paranoid since half his henchmen are scared into that position.

I kinda feel like his presence is going to be more than 10 minutes of screen time.

Appalachia.

Possibly. Some of the leaks made it relatively clear who died. So, maybe they're doing what they can to preserve the integrity of the show.

90 minute jerk-off? He'd probably be thankful.

A lot of people seem to hate the Carol transformation. I like it. I don't think it's permanent - I think it's showing the humanity in the superhero. They could have done her two ways - continue to build on the bad-assery until she would inevitably have to become the leader, or give her the zombie-apocalypse equivalent…

Why wouldn't he make the "grand" entrance as such, when he put so much effort into showing his superiority to the group during that whole road-blocking interlude? Seems to be his character.

I presume that you were, at the very least.

Coercing people into a trap where you're going to savagely beat one of them to death seems pretty scary.

Um, they cut some of her dreads off and stuffed them in a zombie. Pretty obvious when Rick ripped them off and they had no "attachment" to the head.

Comic book about zombies -> show. It's a pretty simple formula and expectations should be held as such.
