THE WALKING DEAD: Rick Is Out For Vengeance In This New "It Ends Now" Promo For The Second Half Of Season 8

@sKeemAn - The whisperers will be coming next season I'd say. Should be interesting.

@TheGoddamnPeel - yeah, they tried to be sneaky about it. it was quite cheap, for someone who has a major role.

@TheGoddamnPeel - When was Carl killed? Don't remember seeing that happen.

@rabid - The actor's had a haircut, hasn't been seen on set since shooting the midseason finale, and everyone has confirmed that he's dying. This isn't like Dumpstergate where Scott Gimple deliberately wriggled out of confirming Glenn's death by saying 'the Glenn WE KNEW is dead.' This time, everyone is openly confirming that Carl's dying so that's whats going to happen.

@TheGoddamnPeel - It's called a fake out. They're toying with fans' expectations.

@rabid -

His mom made a tweet shortly after the episode ended that said something like Carl was wrote out of the show, too.

@rabid - what would he gain from that? I don't see his dad losing his noodle on social media just to sike out Rigg's fans. That would be very deceiving and disrespectful to his fans and career. If Carl was going to survive the bite, Chandler wouldn't have said one way or another. He wouldn't have gone to the lengths he did to protect his performance from being spoiled.
Just my thoughts on it.

@kylo0607 - Sure, I know he's going to spare Negan because I've read the comics, but the way the show has built up to this moment is incredibly stupid.

Repeatedly having Rick say for almost two seasons that he's going to kill the current main antagonist of the show, only to spare him in the end, is a quick and sure way to piss off viewers and confuse people.

Its also a bit unconvincing that Rick is going to spare Negan after the death of his son, considering he went on a crazed rampage when Lori died, killing dozens of walkers in his way, hallucinated talking to people and wanted to kill as many of the Governor's people as possible and not give them a chance to co-exist with him. Now that his son - his only child - has died, he's suddenly going to be BFFs with Negan and live in peace? Nope that's not convincing.

Add to that that Carl wanted and tried to kill Negan last season, and he's now suddenly a pacifist is just shit writing.

There were so many ways Scott Gimple and TWD team could've handled Rick's decision to spare Negan - they could've martyred someone like Morgan or Gabriel who's deaths would've convinced Rick to honour them and spare Negan, they could've had Negan redeem himself by saving Carl or another significant person in Rick's life that would've allowed Rick to see the good in him, they could've had Carl go down a further dark road again and Rick choosing to spare Negan to bring back civilisation and set a good example for his son (Like they originally did in the comics)...But nope, they're killing off Carl because they're strapped for cash and out of ideas. Total shitshow.

@kylo0607 - I'm making conclusions based on what the actors and executive producers of the show have said. Scott Gimple explained that was his reason for killing Carl - so that Rick would honour his 'legacy' by sparing Negan.

@TheGoddamnPeel - your comments are [frick]ing perfect. Their writing has taken a nosedive the last couple seasons.

@rabid - sorry dude, he's most definitely dead. And just stop with the Whisperers crap. I guarantee you 1000% you're wrong.
