- So who is Negan? It seems the 'survivors' have all been instructed to say they are "Negan" if asked. I remember the guy on the bike who Darryl blew to bits with a rocket launcher said his name was Negan as well, as did the guy Rick wasted at the end of this latest episode. One of the women who were holding Carol and Maggie said "We are all Negan". The real Negan will probably eventually appear at the end of this series, setting up the next season as a battle between Rick's mob and Negan's baddies.
Yes I think Carol might be heading for the chop, although some sinister speculation doing the rounds on the internet is that Maggie's unborn baby will be murdered. Perhaps by Negan himself as a sick and disturbing way to end the season?

S06E13.
- Spoiler:
- This was the Carol and Maggie show, as they were held hostage by a psycho bitch named Paula and her cohorts.
The premise of the ep was Paula's group negotiating a trade of the guy on Daryl's bike, Primo, for one or both of Carol and Maggie. After much tooing and froing a deal is done but Paula suspects Rick and crew will ambush them. Paula and group go off to try to flip the ambush, in which time Carol and Maggie free themselves and off most of Paula's group. Carol attracts the rest of Paula's group into the building and traps and burns them.
Then there is a showdown between Paula and Carol. Paula refuses Carol's offer to run and is impaled on a steel rod and has her face chewed off by a walker.
Carol seemed to be acting all fragile and affected by all the killing to help in the escape plan, but when Rick and crew arrive and Rick shoots dead the uncooperative Primo in front of her, she flinches as if all the killing is starting to take it's toll.
Maybe she is cracking and will be killed off.

S06E14.
- Spoiler:
- Scouting Group 1, Abraham and Eugene, find a workshop where the Tennessee Top Hat says he'll make bullets, but has a blue with Abraham who kills a zombie that Eugene had dibs on. This is Eugene demonstrating he has moved to "Stage 2" and reckons he can protect himself. Abraham storms off after Eugene says his services are no longer required.
Scouting Group 2, Daryl, Rosita and Dr Denise, head out for drug supplies. On the way they have two available routes, via the train tracks or the road. Daryl decides road is safer but Rosita takes the shorter track route. They meet up, and score a hefty drug haul. At the pharmacy, Denise finds a zombie that has drowned its baby (before turning). They head back and Daryl fatefully decides that the tracks are safe enough - bad mistake. On the way back they are ambushed by the burnt forest mob, led by Dwight, who stole Daryl's bike and crossbow. We are introduced to them in the ep's choicest moment. Dr Denise is lecturing Daryl and Rosita about how their strength overrides their emotions, then cops a crossbow dart through the back of the head and out her eye. Creepily she keeps talking for a further sentence before crumbling. Freaky genius show making and a classic "oh shit" moment!!!
Dwight's group has Eugene, and appear to have the upper hand. Eugene sees Abraham behind some drums and gives him up to Dwight, but this just serves (as planned by Eugene) to distract and splinter Dwight's group. As a couple of members seek Abraham, the on-his-knees Eugene savagely bites Dwight on the dick!!! Awesome stuff!! Dwight's screams confuse the fark out of his group, allowing Abraham, Daryl and Rosita to blow the shit out of most of the ambushers. Dwight escapes with far less of his motley crew than he came with. Eugene is wounded in the battle but congratulated by Abraham for his thinking. Daryl now has both his bike and crossbow back.
Sasha accepts Abraham into her bed. Rosita is already rooting other guys from Alexandria.
At the end we hear Carol's voice-over of a letter she's left Tobin. She says she has left Alexandria because she can no longer kill to protect others. From the shorts, Rick is not accepting her departure lying down.

Was away for the Easter weekend so missed the live airing.
S06E15.
S06E15.
- Spoiler:
- The one where Daryl goes out to wipe out Dwight and his cronies (as he wishes he had in the burnt forest), and gets Glenn and Michonne captured and probably shot himself. Also Morgan and Rick go looking for Carol.
Carol takes out a bunch of Saviours and seems to be injured, leaving a trail of blood that Morgan and Rick can follow. They do this until Morgan tells Rick to go home to Alexandria where he's needed, and he will continue the search.
Maggie seems to be having a agonising miscarriage.
Ep ends with Daryl and Rosita finding the Dwight-captured Glenn and Michonne, only to have Dwight appear behind them. Dwight appears to shoot Daryl, with blood splattering the camera lens.

Someone's going to die in the finale, that's for certain.

- Rosita is the obvious red shirt in the captives being delivered to Negan, a fairly nothing, underdeveloped character, only relatively recently added to the cast.
But the comics had Negan smashing someone else's brains out...* Then again, I believe it was Abraham not Denise that caught the arrow to the back of the head in print too, so they're not following it to the letter.
I'd be surprised if Daryl bowed out, as he's one of the biggest draws for the show, a fan favourite. But the main cast have been doing this for five or six years now and - if they've got decent agents - might be agitating for a new challenge, cashing in on their rising profile. To be honest, his character has stagnated a lot this season.
Of course, everyone Rick sleeps with gets killed soon after, so Michonne could be on the chopping block...
Carol has been set up in the last few weeks to be on the way out: characters suddenly developing a conscience and getting a bit weepy tend to get all deaded pretty soon after. I think that she'd be a loss to the show. Carol was becoming a total badass, before the writers decided to completely do a 180 on her for no obvious reason (other than perhaps writing her out).
Maggie's an interesting one. What happens when an unborn baby dies in the womb? Does it become a zombie and will it eat Maggie from the inside? Seems too f*cking gruesome a death, even for the Walking Dead...
*What happens in the comic...
- Spoiler:
- Negan bashes Glen's brains out. But after his dumpster death fake-out earlier in the season and the fan reaction to how cack-handedly that was dealt with, would they dare bring him back only to kill him off a handful of episodes later?

Well, I watched the first episode of this show 2013 and for the first time ever I am now fully caught up. Feels weird not being able to binge watch as much as I want and will feel even weirder to actually have to wait months for an episode.
Up until now I'd been having Walking Dead "phases" where I'd watch 6 or 7 episodes, get bored, come back a few months later. Now I have to wait with the masses.
Anyway, obviously I don't know what's going to happen but I don't think Darry'll will be dead from that shot or die from it, although perhaps the "you'll be alright" was a bluff and he'd been shot in the face which will be the end of season reveal.
I'm inclined to agree that Carol might be on the way out, any character that seems to show some inner conflict tends to get offed pretty quickly, Glenn would be too obvious although it would be hilarious if after saving him earlier in the season they just off him at the end.
I've read that people have complained that the writers don't have any balls by not killing off the likes of Rick or Dary'll which makes me laugh, I think it's only because of Game of Thrones changing the game that people now have issues with the main character not dying. It's fairly normal for main characters in a show to survive until at least the final season, Walking Dead has actually killed off a fair number of main characters but next to Game of Thrones looks like a relative pussy in this regard.
Hoping Dary'll survives (and Carol for that matter) as I like Morgan's philosophy, he seems to have a bit of humanity and whilst it's a dark show I've heard the comic creator talking about how he sees the main theme of the show being that even in dark times there is humanity left in people. Killing off anyone who refuses to murder people at ever opportunity kind of goes against that and killing off someone who used to kill at the first opportunity and is now trying their best not to kill everyone completely goes against what he is saying about the comic/show.
Anyway, I don't like waiting, thankfully there's a hit and giggle final today.

S06E16 - Season Finale.
Meanwhile, the interweb's reaction to the Finale...
- Spoiler:
- Rick and bunch head off in the RV with the ill Maggie heading for Hilltop and medical attention. They are stopped and detoured three times by the Saviours and eventually hit the road with Maggie on a stretcher, hoping to hoof it to safety. Eugene takes the RV as a decoy.
Morgan eventually finds the bleeding Carol, who just wants him to leave her alone. She gets away from him, only to be jumped by a man who had recently lost his people to Carol on the road. He shoots her in the arm and leg, and is about to kill her when Morgan shows again. He finally kills someone, pumping 6 shots or so into Carol's would-be assassin. They meet a couple of guys in body armour, who offer her medical assistance.
Rick and crew eventually get trapped in a large clearing frequented by many, many Saviours. On their knees, they are reunited with Daryl, Michonne, Glenn and Rosita, who were captured after Negan's boys killed Dwight's people.
Then we meet the sadistic Negan. He says one of the A-team must die as retribution for all of his people that were killed. The rest will work for the Saviours. He then plays a game of Eeny meeny miny moe to decide who will die. We don't get to see who it is that Negan beats to death with his barb-wired baseball bat. Just blood running down the camera, then blackness, screaming and the blood-thirsty thumping and ripping of Lucille (Negan's bat).
See you all on October 1 for Season 7.

Negan talks too much. FFS, that last scene was so dragged out. Poorly written as well. With all of his pacing back and forth babble, they actually managed to make Negan look like he didn't really wanna do it and was actually psyching HIMSELF up to swing the bat. I was screaming at him to get on with it by the end.
Obviously the show's creators themselves still aren't sure who will be killed off. There must be furious contract negotiations going on right now....

All we know is that it isn't Carl and whoever it was took it like a champ. First blow could have made them woosy but for me that makes it likely to be Abraham. Pretty stoic guy and he seemed to be getting happier, which isn't allowed.
Cheap trick to get people to keep watching though, they've already done it twice this season. It's not so bad when you have the next episode lined up but waiting six months will be irritating (although they'll be an unavoidable spoiler out before then I would think).

It was an astonishing cop-out. First Glenn with the dumpster, then Daryl and what turned out to be a flesh wound, and now anonymous. The show was crying out for a straight-up, no nonsense killing of a major character. Something that would set an early benchmark for Negan's evilness and send a chill through the audience's soul. But we got nothing.

Yeah, as finales go that was probably the worst one. Nothing really happened.
Or rather something major possibly happened but we won't find out what until next season.
I'm not sure the show makers have the balls to off someone like Rick, Dary'll or Glenn (despite him being the one who has had all the foreshadowing and (comic spoiler)
Incidentally I thought the first person view point was a great way to film it, but they should have then shown who it was from another person's POV, or just shown who it was in any way.

- Spoiler:
- apparently it's him in the comics, although this means not a lot as they've diverged a lot from the comics particularly when it comes to which major characters they off and when).

I agree, Nath.

- Eugene also handed over his bullet-making instructions to Rick. The Tennessee Top Hat has gained the respect of his peers after being a lame tag-along for so long, so now he can die a hero.

The only way the show can restore some credibility is if it's Maggie who's been bludgeoned.
To have such a ridiculous cop-out at the end of the season, the only way the show can redeem itself and make Negan a bad guy to rival the Governor for sadistic-ness is for him to bash the pregnant woman to death.
After all, Negan is meant to be the worst villain they've ever come up against, isn't he? Killing comic relief Eugene doesn't make much of a statement.

- Spoiler:
- From what I've read he isn't as sadistic as the Governor. Is also against rape. I think he's meant to be the best villain for being multi layered and interesting as opposed to just being the Governor but more extreme. I could be wrong but that's what I've concluded from the little reading I've done. After the Governor and then cannibals they've exhausted the sadistic route unless they just want to make it like an 80s exploitation horror but I think they're going to go with interesting psycho as opposed to extreme sadistic psycho. The baseball bat is pretty bad but he doesn't kill everyone which is what the Governor would do so I don't think he's as sadistic and has a hint of pragmatism.
