Good cliffhanger: "He just killed ______ and where the f*** do we go from here?"
Bad cliffhanger: "He just killed-- WHO THE F*** DID HE JUST KILL???"
This was a bad decision. Period. It cheapens the whole thing enormously and sets the death up to be spoiled months before the show even airs it's next episode. I've liked more of Gimple's tenure than I've disliked (s***, this episode itself could be one of my favorites if not for that ending), but I honestly have no idea how he thought this was a good way to go.
AGREED. The episode should have ended with " Ta ta." That would have been so awesome. The cliffhanger took so much away from Negan ...
BTW, Hardwick did a Q&A on his Facebook last night. Lot of angry fans infiltrated the Q&A and Hardwick lost some cool, cursing left and right and calling the fans impatient babies.
He just kept repeating how the writing for finale was a gift to us, without giving any real reasons to back up that claim. Oh lordy. lol.
I'm confused when people keep saying crap like this. Aside from the Glenn mess earlier in the season, I really don't think they've trolled the audience to this level before.It still pulled that cliffhanger BS the show always does.
AMC is cutting his checks so even if he hated it, I don't see him criticizing a finale.
Sounds like the same ol' average reasoning for any showrunner/director/studio head giving for any divisive plot point that any entertainment medium provides to keep people tuning in.
This is news?
I didn't say it was news haha. I posted it cause I know some were asking yesterday what Gimple had to say about it.
I will say this will make an interesting comic con trailer for season 7. I wonder how they will do it.

The comic con trailer will consist of Scott Gimple and Frank Darabont mocking the ******** mouth breathers while they sit on a pile of cash.
AMC = Always More Cliffhangers
Ummm ... Isn't Darabont himself a ******** mouth breather? He is not on good terms with AMC right now.
Don't get me wrong, he has a REASON to be ******** ...
“I didn’t know about the cliffhanger until I watched the show,” Morgan says. “The death of the person will kick off Season 7, and obviously, who is on the receiving end of Lucille will be a big part. I understand the fans’ frustration, I get that. That said, I have to trust these writers, and they know what they’re doing.”
“We’re going to see Negan do some stuff in the next year that’s not going to be very nice, and I may have to approach that from a different angle,” the actor concedes. “I realize Negan is a bad guy, but he’s one of the most well-rounded villains we’re going to see on any screen in a long time.
“He’s got a lot of stories yet to come. It’s going to be an interesting road.”
Yeah, they can give away literally nothing. Maybe it'll be the lower portion of all of the character's faces with blood streaking/splattered over them.
That'd be cool.
I have no doubt that the Glenn fakeout was testing the waters.
