If the first ten minutes is amazing, it will probably erase the sour taste in many people's mouths and I think it will be because I think they know they have to. They just have to.
You might be right. However, you're assuming they are going to reveal it that fast. I know the writers said they won't drag it out, but I don't trust them. I could see some kind of flashback episode mixed in with scenes that take place in the near future, centering around one or two characters.

Honestly all of last season was a mess to me. I don't know if they had new writers or directors in there, but as a whole that season was executed so poorly. Maybe it's because I read the comics so I know what's going to happen, but it just seemed like a lot of filler that could have been eliminated and would have tightened up the show. Hopefully they can rectify that problem this season otherwise I'll just stick with the comics.
I'm actually happy that it backfired as well, because hopefully this will stop them from pulling stupid little stunts like this in the future. Feev is right, it does completely belittle the audience. And for a show so huge it's completely unnecessary. I wonder what the viewership will be when it returns. Will it be more or less?
So when does it return, is it this weekend?
Walking Dead should have learned from Game of Thrones
Spoiler:
with Jon Snow's death
people buzzed and talked about it all year. The cool thing is that book readers and show watchers were in the same boat. I remember running into friends throughout the year and we would all speculate what is going to happen. The Walking Dead creators were hoping people would speculate all year, and some have, but most people were just too pissed to even think about speculating.
Honestly, and I hate the way this is going to sound, but much of The Walking Dead audience is fairly easy to please. You can feed them anything and they will eat it up and ask for seconds. I don't think we will see a dip in ratings, but as we've discussed, the buzz is certainly less than past season.
Since the show comes back Sunday, I say we do speculate. Who do you think got a face full of Louisville Slugger? I think it's Abraham.
My money is on Daryl. Glenn seems to obvious so they could kill Maggie to switch it up considering the show how several strong female characters already so she's my second choice. Number three is Abraham. According to the clip they released of after the killing(s) (two deaths sound right considering how much Rick escalated things by attacking them first), everyione on Rick's left (Aaron, Carl, Eugene) are safe.
comics spoilers
Spoiler:
Abraham or Sasha being killed makes sense as it the death plays a big part in motivation during an assault on Negan during All Out War, but since Holly was killed by the wolves, either one being killed will bring motivation.
As for the death having impact, I think the impact of that death will be long lasting, at least throughout the first half of the season. The death in the comics is still a talking point and was still a big deal through the entire Saviors arc. I think it has to be one of the original group to have any impact. Darryl will have the most impact, Michonne second, and Michonne probably won't be killed off.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

Feev - Eugene
I should change this to "Who We All Want To Have Their Brain Bashed In".
If they want to go for maximum shock factor it should be Daryl because of his status as unbridled fan favorite.
They already teased us with Glenn's death (god what a terrible season that was) so I doubt they'd want to jerk us around again, especially considering the backlash they got after that whole dumpster fiasco.. if they want to sock us in the gut they could kill off Maggie.
The only untouchable on the show for me is Rick Grimes because he's the main character, everyone else is fair game.
I never wanted to mention her name (Maggie) in case it was jinxed but now you have I think it's fair game...but she dies have a story developing so probably not her...
If we're putting in guesses, I'm going with either Daryl or Maggie. I don't think it will be Glenn since they teased his death already. It'd be a bit weird to then kill him off. Also I think it needs to be a prominent strong character (preferably from very early in the series, that we are very attached to) so that it has an impact. And those are really the only two that would give the impact that I think it needs. Feev, is right, Rick is untouchable so I doubt it'll be him or his son. If they killed off Eugene, most people wouldn't care. Plus Negan really needs to come off as being a really horrible ruthless person.
Daryl would be a shock but I really do not think it will be him. Maggie is my vote... it will also pay homage somewhat to the comics where she is related deeply with Glen...
Feev, is right, Rick is untouchable so I doubt it'll be him or his son.
Based on the trailer a few posts up, it's been confirmed it's not Rick. Although I think everyone pretty much knew that last season.

I've enjoyed watching these youtube videos with people analysing everything to say who it was who died lol. Many of these videos have hundreds of thousands of views. People may have hated the cliffhanger but fans are going all out in playing right into their hype machine which was put into hyperdrive with their sneak peek I posted above. One even put MISSABLE CLUE with a big arrow pointing to the big blood splatter on Rick's face...like we can't see that immediately haha.
The funniest comment I've read in terms of who Negan kills is 'He killed the camera man for just doing his job! True villain. The fat woman who is in charge of the food storage in Alexandria Negan is cozying up with in the trailer is surely next!'

I hope it is either Eugene or Maggie. His mullet and her fake accent both grate my nerves. But I kinda think it'll be Daryl......or Glenn....no.....Abraham and Sasha.....shit................

ICry4Oy - Every character on the show including that gay guy that they showed once last year.
Not to sound like an asshole, but he better fucking kill women and children. All I've heard is that he's this heartless monster. I'm not buying a super villain that doesn't kill women and children. This isn't some Italian hitman with a heart situation here.
Whoever told you Negan is a heartless monster doesn't get his character. He doesn't ' make the governor look like a girl scout' as I've heard...governor was psychotic, Negan isn't. He's a very layered and interesting character.
Negan better be as bad as in the comics. I really don't want another Governor situation. The comic Governor was psychotic and slimy and creepy. However the show Governor did look like a girl scout to me

AGREED. Governor was not what I wanted in the show!
I prefer TV show governor. He was a tragic character. Comic governor was just crazy for crazy sake. Kirkmans writing was pretty poor in the first few years. Neither character is in Negans league though.
