Just kill this douche already Trevor

I knew he was gonna die, but I'm glad he was at least allowed to go out in a fist fight with a sucker punch.

That said actual Trevor would have probably gouged out his eyes and mocked him for putting his bat away before breaking it into 50 pieces.

My guess for the finale is the entire remaining group at Hilltop move into position according to Dwight’s map/intel but oh no! The Saviors found out Dwight, so they altered formation! Our heroes are trapped... but wait, is that... it can’t be... it’s Oceanside?!

The two sides are evenly matched, redshirt losses left and right! Again, the heroes are against the ropes, things are looking grim... but oh! Savior bullets...messed with?! Eugene’s long-con the entire time?! Or did Gabriel unwittingly infect the other bullet-makers with his mystery illness, making them careless?!

A named character from Rick’s group is killed. Oh no... Kal! Wait, we had a guy named Kal this entire time? Whatever.

The helicopter lands nearby, bamboozling them all. Out steps Jadis and yet another new character?! Who in the gently caress?!

Rick and Negan engage in brutal fisticuffs while everyone just kinda kicks back and watches. Rick gains the upper hand! He’s poised to kill Negan, but the words from Carl’s letter echo through his mind.

He raises his weapon and...

CLIFFHANGER!

(Also Carl 2.0 probably dies, affecting Morgan badly and prompting him to jump ship to FTWD)

Steven Ogg is all over the place these last few years, I don't think he's ever out of work

I sure hope so. He's easily one of my favorite character actors out there right now.

I honestly would be happy to see him have another scene on Saul. His cameo versus Mike was one of the funniest moments on that show.

The ending AMC doesn't want and we deserve is Rick and the entire cast get utterly murdered by Negan, except "I don't die" Morgan and Fear becomes the main show

ED: If Rick and Negan actually killed each other that'd be kind of an amazing ending the show has no balls to do

The dumbest thing is the Saviors tracking him down and getting him back would have made way more sense, he could have done the epic puke in a firefight

But yeah super telegraphed. I called pretty much every single thing that was going to happen in it from the start, except them giving Ogg a decent death instead of just bashing his skull in. Not because I'm great at this but because any 3 year old could do the same.

ED: I did think he'd mention Gabriel to try to escape though, so they didn't do that

:golfclap:

Also in a hamfisted way, I guess we saw a bit more of how the Logic of Negan works and why people follow him. Before Negan, the Saviors were a bunch of tough guys loosely affiliated and doing their own thing. Simon was high up, but not the leader. When groups of survivors pissed them off, they would kill them all. Negan saw people as a resource, and got Simon to help him take over, with the idea that they could kick back and let the other groups grow food and scavenge for them. If guys like Simon were calling the shots, there would be no other survivors left in a 50 mile radius and the thugs would be having the scavenge for themselves and fight each other for scraps. Instead they lived like kings, and Negan instituted a rule that only a few would get killed, abeit brutally, for the transgressions of a group.

It shows why compared to the Saviors 1.0, people worship Negan and his way. He keeps them alive and safe, if subservient.

My point isn't about whether Negan actually is good or evil. It is that, if Negan is supposed to be evil and Rick is supposed to be good, they do a terrible job of showing that, to the point that a show-watcher could reasonably assume Negan is the good guy and Rick is the bad guy if they just look at Rick and Negan's actions shown on camera.

I don't think anyone is supposed to be good or bad. Rick is just the character the series revolves around and we're supposed to back him because he is going to be the end winner no matter what happens

Prolly, comic spoilers:

If it happens like in the comic, Negan sieges Hilltop, then goes with a small group (including Dwight) to parley with Rick. Rick then attacks Negan's group, wins with Dwight's help, captures Negan, Dwight goes off to rule over the saviours. End of war.
Makes sense in the comic since characters have arcs and it's one more step down Rick being a tyrant and Negan being more Machiavellian than evil.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if it went down like that. Maybe without the helicopter part, if only because I doubt they'd be able to fit all that into one episode even if they crank the pace all the way up to glacial.
First ep of season 9 will probably start with one character in an unexpected situation some time after the cliffhanger, but we're not showing you what happened yet! Then that character has a flashback to season 7 or something, then we get more visions of the future, more lovely letter readings from Coral and only then, in the last ten minutes or so we get to see what actually happened and we're superhooked and can't wait for the next ep!!

Holy poo poo, I just realized that Eugene's hands were tied up right? Not only did he bury himself in about 2 seconds, and stay still instead of breathing heavily, he did so while he was bound. This is also as dumb as Negan's cart situation.
