This has taken me ages to write because I have literally had no words to say about what the season finale had to offer. It has taken me a few days to get my head around what I watched on Monday.
I thought the episode was severely tense, my hands were clammy and my heart was racing - something that doesn't occur often when I'm watching a television show.. I was genuinely worried about the characters, especially as there were masses of Saviours on every route towards the Hill Top. I was worried about Maggie, she really isn't looking good at the moment - and this is story line is differing from the comics.
Furthermore, the scene with Eugene taking the RV was very emotional, it was almost hinting as if he was possibly going to die? Although, I'm not sure.
That moment when they walked through the forest and were surrounded by Saviours was awful. Rick's face was so dramatic I don't know how he kept that look going.
The thing that got me is, not knowing who died. I feel this is a real cop out move by the writers and I think the fans deserve more. Perhaps the writers don't even know who died yet - but I think they're taking the viewers for granted. Having to wait until October to find out is really unfair. I get that apparently the death affects many characters and the way they evolve, but they could still carry on the story line with us knowing who died.
Then comes the next question.. who died?
I saw a fan theory that drew up the scene to try and predict who died by what the viewers could see from where Negan was standing, they concluded that it was Michonne. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if it was her. I feel, however, that it was Daryl, then my next guess would be Glenn. I hear Daryl's character is causing a bit of grief for the writers as he is not in the comics, and also I have noticed that Norman Reedus has a new television show AND is appearing in many films. Daryl's character is boring me at the moment, although, I feel if he died a lot of people would stop watching. To be fair, as long as it isn't Abraham (which some people think it is) I'll be okay. The scene was just like the comics, air-go pointing to Glenn. Though it would definitely not surprise me if the writers changed who died.
