Cliffhanger or not, it shouldn't have mattered. The ending should have meant something and made me feel something. It was perfectly MEH.
It was poorly directed. The editing and directing of the bat swings, camera angles, and lack of viscera was so disappointing.
Then, I find out it's the hack Greg Nicotero guy who directed it. A makeup/special effects guy that gets to also direct some episodes. Why does AMC give him so much producing/directing power?
- Don't know Nicotero from his previous work, but I can agree that the whole thing was somewhat subpar.DerekDrama
- Reading that scene in the comics, I felt sick to my stomach – such an seminal and important scene.DerekDrama
- yup, i quit reading the comics of this scene... too grimtank02

cheap ending. so lame.
- agreed, why the cliffhanger, shouldve revealed the kill and let the fans seethe with anger for 7 months against Neegan- rather than being pissed at the studio.BH26
- Yup. Not seeing the beating was cheap, lazy, and robbed the ending of the impact it SHOULD have had.dopepope
- If they had balls they would have killed one character that we witness, then have him say something like "Oh, what the hell..." then the 1st person kill ofETM
- another character we have to wait to find out about.ETM
- Then we'd have one death to deal with, hate Negan more and still wonder for the next eight months about the other character.ETM

I thought they'd show who lucille picked
- Who got clobbered?utopian
- they didn't show how. did a POV shotGnash
- show *whoGnash
- In the comics its Glenn but could be different in the showfyoucher1
- I think Daryl.ETM
- I'd say it's the OG recruiter.pango
- Then they pussied out and the show is failing on the premise it was created under. That anyone, no matter how important can die at any time.ETM
- i bet there's a pool going on.pango

how many times is fucking Glen going to get caught? how many times are people going to sneak up on them in a forest with crunching leaves and twigs all over the ground, are they ninjas? zombie ninjas?
and Carol rocks, the only one on the show that isn't getting on my nerves.
- You're complainy.CyBrainX
- niko's right, though.Gnash
- "the crunchy leaves" haha I always say that ... how do you sneak up on people who in this world should always be on guard??
your head should be on a swivel.Ramanisky2 - I completely agree. It was lazy storytelling.MondoMorphic
- I've lost count on how many times a character have been jumped by a zombie walking in on him/her from various angles...DerekDrama
- ...they could literally stand in the middle of a field and get caught by surprise, yet in the next scene they hear a zombie fart a mile away.DerekDrama
- Probably my biggest gripe with the tv-series. As MondoMorphic said, just lazy storytelling.DerekDrama

If they were going to take out Daryl it would be with much more ceremony. Definitely not with someone else sneaking up on him, shooting him, and then roll credits.

"You know how to bite a dick Eugene. I mean that with the utmost respect. Welcome to stage two."
That stole the whole episode imo.
- om nom nomRamanisky2
- ruined it in my opinionmonospaced
- i would say that was the one bright spot in the dark morass that is Eugene and Abraham's dialogue togetherlocustsloth
- why does Eugene keep getting fatter?monospaced
- he eats his hairlocustsloth
- He eats fat dicksRamanisky2

They've been tantalizingly walking the line staying in parallel with the comic lately. At least to the point if you read the comic you might wonder if they'll take someone out in similar fashion. I've been waiting for this one and THE other one for several episodes in anticipation so this was expected but played so well that when delivered I still felt pretty shocked.
The show really seems to be maturing. The governor was a pretty dark character in the comic but the sappy, sentimental guy that played him in the show, and the deviations in the writing showing his softer side really watered down what could have been a great character study. But for once their slowing down of things feels deliberate and enticing and not just filler til the continuation of the main story so I'm hooked again for the first time in a long while! :)
- Exactly why I won't read the comic until the show ends. I never understand why people want spoilers.CyBrainX
- ^ yup. I stopped reading them before the prisonGnash
- I stopped reading the comics after Negan and Lucy did what they did. Unpleasant, and I kind of like not knowing where the show is going.i_monk
- interesting, I wonder if the comic sales have taken a hit as a result._niko
- Taken a recent hit or taken a hit since the show started? If it's the latter, no, they're through the roof.MondoMorphic

Would that necessarily kill someone? Haven't people survived rebar and knives and stuff piercing the brain?
- Yeah, but if you keep continuously hitting it until it becomes mush, then you're not surviving.ArmandoEstrada
- it'd slow you do some... just a littlePonyBoy
- Just walk it off (potential spoiler):
http://nerdbastards.…ETM - And no, as that is a plastic toy pictured in the above post, no it wouldn't kill you.ETM
- Sorry I meant the arrow to the head Doctor Lady took.i_monk
- Well, since she wasn't gonna be airlifted to any trauma center specializing in brain injuries, I'm pretty sure it's just "I brained my damage" then death.ETM
