Negan kinda made it clear that Rick & Carl would not get the bat. (Rick, because he's the "leader" and will keep everyone in place... and Carl "future serial killer" he wants to manipulate. Darryl & Maggie are hurt.so probably not. Glenn, might not... it was a freebie (and too many previous teases)
Abraham seems obvious.. if he did, I wouldn't mind...I mean, i'd be sad he died, but relieved for the survivors
But i'd agree.. Michonne would be a huge hurt for Rick & Carl...
But if we thought the mystery of Glenn was crazy....this summer, the wait will bekiller.

So we waited the whole season through tons of filler episodes and scenes and we get no answer to who it killed with Negans bat. The commercials were overly long, the play up to the last ten minutes was starting to get boring witht he whole blocking the road bit by the saviors. We all were waiting for the Negan first kill and speculating for the last several months and now we have to wait. Will we even care by September? This show is really starting to lose something and frankly is stretching things out so long that the filer episodes are getting unbearable at this point. I did not like the season finale at all and at this point I do not care who got the bat.
Yeah but they have been playin this up for months. The impact of the death would have been much better if we knew who it was and then had to think about it until the next season. Now we will get the identity of the person in September and then we will get some stupid filler episodes with the characters grieving his/her death. To make any impact at this point they will need to kill off a major character from the early seasons(Glenn, Maggie, Rick, Carl, Darryl or Michonne) If they kill any of the others it will be a cop out. I suspect Maggie or Glenn at this point but who knows and right now I just don't care.
Them being captured and up shit creak is the cliffhanger.
They've been telegraphing this death would happen since Negan was announced.
Total jerk move to make people wait for who gets popped.

Exactly. Also the Carol and Morgan side story was really just filler. At least we saw a new group with armor and horses(ie. Knights with a King Arthur view) and I suspect they will be some kind of group with a honor code that Morgan would probably be more in line with. Other than that I am getting sick of the Carol going through a crisis of conscience. Give me a break she burned alive a few people and killed a child(Well the kid was mentally unstable) and has killed others and now she is all of a sudden feeling bad. This show just may have jumped the shark.
Somewhat seconded. It doesn't matter what caused the ZA (WA) which, as pointed out, is not the point or the focus of the show. Nor are our characters in a position or have the resources to find out such a thing or do anything about it. They're our "everyman" they're you and me. If something disastrous happened that ended civilization it a cataclysmic, cascade, event that started half a world away and it just all fell like dominoes chances are chances are the vast majority of us would never know how or why and would more concern ourselves with surviving. Besides, what more explanation is needed beyond "some kind of disease that spread throughout the population" how is that any different than "er.... Venus probe and radiation or something."
What else is there to know? Some kind of contaminate infected the entire population that causes minor reactivation of the brainstem upon death, the pathogen is able to slow the decomposition process by some means. Do we really need more?
And I'm pretty sure TREK_GOD you are the one to most often bring this up and cite it as a problem, I hardly ever see anyone else concerned with the particulars of how the WA started and the means of operation for the Walker Virus. Most of us, kiddingly, point out things like grass being mowed, the roads still being in decent condition after being exposed to the elements for two years now without being maintained, bullets being common (though that's starting to be addressed) and gasoline still being viable.
There's zombies. Somehow, someway, there's zombies. End of story. Our focus is more on the survival of these characters as they deal with other living people. The walkers are mere nuisance at this point.
I agree with Chris Hardwick, it's been a fantastic B-Season. And a stellar introduction of Negan in his extended monologue/scene there. Very well played and tense. Props to Jeffery Dean Morgan. I guess they replaced Negan's use of "fuck" with "shit."
Not too surprised on the cliffhanger after all of the build up.
Not sure on who to speculate on who ended up being the victim of Lucille. Rick is pretty much immune by virtue of being the main character; it's his story afterall. I sort of doubt it'll be Michonne or Maggie. I highly doubt it'll be Daryl. Part of me wants to think along the lines of what Negan "wants" and if he wants The Group to "produce" for him it'd be shooting himself in the foot to get rid of the stronger members of the group. I almost expect a cop-out and for it to be Aaron. You get the benefit of the tension of this scene and how much business this character means without having to lose a character who "matters" and they've not really used Aaron much at all so killing him off won't upset viewers too much like killing off one oft he main characters like Glenn or Daryl; short of that I'd say Abraham in order to have him "catch up" with his character's death in the comic and it'd cap off his "arc" for the season.
And we also are introduced to The Kingdom and Morgan's "circle of life" thing actually plays off here correctly considering the Kingdom person spared last week was able to come back here to rescue Morgan and Carol; also interesting to see Morgan drop the "all life is precious" thing in order to save Carol, whom I was expecting to die as the episode moved on either from her wounds or a walker bite.
Was it me or did the Kingom-ite seem to not be wearing actual armor but, like, football shoulder pads/protection painted to look like armor?
Going to be a long wait for October.
You don't know what a "filler episode" is, do you? Here's a hint: It's not an episode where there's plot and character development which we've had plenty of in this B-season.
The Negan build-up has only really happened in the B-season which began February 14, today is April 3. So it's been eight weeks, or one calendar month plus three weeks. Giving you a lot of latitude we could maybe call eight weeks "months" since it's "two months" simply going by the notion of "a month is four weeks." But usually the phrase "it's been months" denotes a more meaningful length of time than a few weeks.
Great, see you in October, then?!
Whew, what a rough episode. Can't wait for the episode where Rick jams Negan's bat up his rear end, barbed-wire end first.
Then again, Negan only demands half of everything that his "subjects" own and produce, which isn't that far off from what my town, state, and Uncle Sam demand from me every year.

And then if there's nobody left that anybody gives a damn about does it matter anymore?
Don't get me wrong, I don't mean "safe" because he's a beloved character or anything. It's just that some of the comments on Talking Dead will be awkward in hindsight.
I'm hoping this is the last season cliffhanger. So far in WD history, the seasons are split even--3 ending in cliffhangers, 3 with normal finales, and that's enough, as the former has worn out its welcome with being a poor tease, because at the end of the day, the heroes still stand. Only a true shock to the WD system--a major death (in other words, NOT Rosita, Eugene, Abraham, Aaron or used up emotional credits Glenn) will justify the cliffhanger, but will that happen?
I really enjoyed that episode. The tension, the build-up... . I like the cliffhanger. I like a show that makes me feel something--even if what it makes me feel is nervous, tense and worried. 
Jeffrey Dean Morgan is great---I've always seen him as Papa Winchester but after tonight, I think I'll finally be able to let go of that.

Negan was perfectly portrayed as a sociopath in a completely different way from the governor. I was really impressed with what we saw from Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Next year with The Kingdom vs the Saviors ought to be epic.

Wow, apparently there's a whole lot of people out there who do not like cliffhangers and really wanted to see someone die at the end of this episode.
Personally I thought it was a pretty intense episode. Yeah it was a bit frustrating I guess not to see who Negan killed... but that's kind of the job of a cliffhanger and I'm perfectly fine waiting. I mean the style of the show has been firmly established by this point, so you'd think people would be a bit more used to it. And be willing to sit through some of the slower buildup before the really crazy stuff happens. And for my money that wait has always been well worth it (although I guess it helps that I've never had a problem with the slower and quieter "filler" episodes and usually enjoy them as much as the more action-packed ones).

Yeah, I think Daryl is semi-safe. The popularity of his character is just too strong to take him out and, IIRC, some "BTS" info said he recently bought a house in the Atlanta area so he must have a good sense of job security.
