Philosopher King posted:Did they leak who dies we have an office pool going Someone leaked footage of Maggie getting brained but according to several sources the crew made 11 fake death scenes just for leaks, so really no. DarklyDreaming fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Oct 23, 2016 |

Maggie is about the second or third to last one I'd expect them to do so if it is her then kudos, I suppose, for defying my expectations. But the real story here is how loving retarded was the cliffhanger decision. It's been said time and time, but doing that just so that your show is discussed over the break is really stupid, if all of that discussion is tainted by the context of how much of a lame storytelling decision it was to have made. It's like a fundamental misunderstanding, maybe even a total ignorance of, the concept of "hang a lampshade on it". These loving writers. Can't wait to see what they have in store!

No. What this was like was saying we'd get a present for Christmas, and then on December 25th handing us a box but telling us we'd have to wait until June to open it.

Hahahah did they? I missed that, or since forgot about it. That is such a TV network executive that doesn't watch or like the show that's paying their wages type of thing to say. To be fair to Hardwick, he's probably coached on every little thing he is and isn't allowed to say.

Yeah I don't remember where it was said, but they came up with all kinds of excuses/justifications for that garbage finale. Someone else compared it to Darth Vader revealing to Luke Skywalker that he was his father. Except that wasn't a cliffhanger. Honestly the writing in season 6 just reeked of arrogance. I actually do like the show - even with its shortcomings - but S6 overall felt like such a slap in the face. It's like when a popular artist starts experimenting with sculptures made of fecal matter and then gets mad at his fan base for not liking it, saying "YOU GUYS JUST CAN'T APPRECIATE REAL ART." That said, I really am looking forward to this season. I don't care as much who Negan kills so much as I just want to see him flip the Ricktatorship on its head. I've probably already said this but the only character I'll be pissed about getting Lucille'd is Glenn. Not because of any attachments I still have to him (it seems like the writers stopped caring about him a long time ago), but because I'm gonna be mad if they hyped all this up so much just to go with the comic book kill everyone already knows about anyway. Daryl would be the perfect kill though, and might almost justify the cliffhanger. I wouldn't want to give Daryl's legions of fan girls 6 months to be pissed off and decide they don't want to watch the show anymore either.

Remember when The Simpsons told people they were going to kill off a major character and people wondered all summer who it would be and it ended up being Krusty the Clown's father?

On Terra Firma posted:This scene is going to twist my stomach into knots no matter who bites it. On one hand I want it to be brutal to stay true to the comic, but on the other I could do without TV shows having a preoccupation with having characters heads smashed in. I don't think you need to spoil that. I think even people completely unaware of the comics will have assumed that somebody got their head smashed in based on the season finale

Pretty sure Hardwick got himself a lobotomy. He had some great intros on Fear the Walking Dead's TD where literally nothing would happen in an episode and out he pops all chipper and saying, "Well that sure was an exciting episode! A lot to unpack there!"

I probably wouldn't have even minded the cliffhanger if they'd just never mentioned that someone was going to die, and if the rest of the finale had more content to it. It was so dragged out with tedious filler. There was no reason to make that episode an hour-and-a-half except to max out the advertisement revenue.

I hope the real death scene has better effects than the cliffhanger, which was the game over screen from Goldeneye on the N64

Yeah the writing in that last episode left a lot to be desired. Trevor having monologues about "Hey Rick appreciate your family because maybe one of them will die tonight!" felt more like the show was speaking directly to the viewers. "Oooh we're gonna kill off a main character tonight people! Watch and find out who!"

They did it more than once, yeah. I'm going to say the same thing tonight that I did when they did this on The Simpsons. I hope it is Maggie.

I honestly want the current, lame Glenn to die, but I also think that would be a huge copout. Hope they give someone else Glenn's comic death then Glenn himself gets brained as an afterthought with no buildup and Negan's crew bounces.

It would amuse me greatly if they go right to a timeskip and then you have to figure out who got hit by process of elimination of who they show afterwards.

Parting shot S7E16 is a reveal of the dead character's grave, and they are revealed to have been a hallucination by their neares loved one. Season's full of Sixth Sense style misleading scenes. Or Morales from S1 gets dragged out at the last minute.
