I got that, I promise. You have made your opinion extremely clear.
Are you sure? Because I'd be happy to continue expressing it.

Yup. The only cliffhanger in, what, two decades, that actually was a cliffhanger? And clearly audiences have been trained out of what is a wonderful dramatic technique. But then, I heard people complain about trailers that it didn't tell them the whole plot, so they didn't want to see the film. We're getting old it seems. Actually cinematic techniques are not wanted any more.
Well, in that case it worked.
(Up until the last half season I had to be dragged to watch the yawn-fest that was TWD; seriously, dullest show on TV where nothing ever happens. The last 6 episodes or so actually had me interested, and the last couple I couldn't fake my eyes from the screen. I don't know if they changed scriptwriters or anything, but watching it turned from a chore to event TV).
A generally mediocre finale. Really they had 30 minutes of storyline padded out to an extra long episode. The whole bit with Carol and Morgan was weak as well. Thought the ending was meh, really the whole build up for the second half of the season was who will Negan kill but that is pushed off until next season. This show is never that strong for writing though so I just go with it.
I usually am the one defending shows I watch, and rarely get bent out of shape by problems in the writing but this episode failed hugely for me and it all boiled down to that pointless cliffhanger at the end (which sucked out all the power of Negan's introduction).
I was defending the whole Glenn ducking under the dumpster thing when it happened, now I am not so sure.
I don't really care much about the comics and show being the same (that they are different is one of the cool things about tuning in).
I definitely read the lines differently in my head as well (more like a Bruce Campbell voice or something). But I don't pin the blame for this on Jeffrey Dean Morgan. I think he interpreted the character well, just different from how I pictured it, and I think he has the charm and personality to pull of Negan.
I am thinking the three that could die would be Rosita, Eugene and Spenser. Leaning to Eugene because he was doing a lot of hugging and passed on the recipe to Rick. Will be surprise if it is not one of them.I think Negan did not kill Rick in the finale because Negan want Rick to work to him.
