Damn I want to click that. I will stay strong though. If anyone dies it ll be the next guest on Talking Dead. That shit lines up 85% of the time.

So do I, but I won't! The Talking Dead lineup is quite ominous. Norman Reedus (Daryl) and Melissa McBride (Carol) are the two cast member guests...uh oh! Losing either one of them would be a crushing blow and would probably cause a fan uprising! I'm busy trying to guess what's coming in the finale. I'm wondering if they'll try to exile Rick and right at that time the gang of "W" makers (I'm thinking more than one; the pile of arms, legs and torsos at Noah's home development suggested a group to me) shows up as a major threat to Alexandria giving Rick a reprieve because he's needed. But I can't see Rick going without his kids and/or the rest of his group, unless he planned to stick around on the outside because they'd stay safest inside. And would his "family" allow him to be exiled?

Man. Sasha has a nice zombie extermination business she's running on the side. Good for her.

So, I'm thinking next week's finale will see a major character killed off, one who's been on since season 1. My guess is Daryl.

My guess based on the comics of what the cliffhanger OMG moment will be:

Don't be tempted to click this if you haven't read the comics!

Spoiler

Carl gets his eye shot out
They'll probably end with him getting shot in the face, Sasha shooting the guy f/ the bell tower, and end it with Rick holding Carl, the audience assuming he's going to die after getting shot in the face. We'll find out next season that he's ok, unless they stray from the comics and kill Carl off...

.

Indeed, that's a pretty safe bet, and I could see them going for that cliffhanger.

No way, it's entirely too early.

Spoiler

We need the zombie attack on the safe zone. I think the "W" carvers are the comics' Scavengers that try to attack the ASZ, but fail, instead inviting the nearby herd to descend. I know they haven't really talked about herds, but that wont stop the show from putting on a zombie bloodbath in the season finale.

They've stuck to the same sort of schedule of events as the comics, so I don't see why they would abandon that now.

It's a 90 minute finale, I wouldn't say no way. They can fit all that in and not seem rushed at all.

Spoiler

first 20ish minutes deal w/ aftermath of Rick's actions. Have the zombies attack. Plenty of time before/after that for other story fillers. You only need like the last 5-10 minutes for the humans try to get in and get shot and end up shooting Carl. That's why it would be a cliff hanger, because there's just enough time for the event to happen, and they deal w/ the aftermath next season.

Agreed. Especially because the timeline on the TV show compared to the comics is MUCH faster.

You guys are right, I was misremembering things thinking that scene happened much later in a different scenario. I'm convinced 100% that's what's going to happen now. And all the set up so far will make for some interesting drama surrounding those particular characters.

However I dont know if the timeline is faster. Definitely has its differences. But nothing about this show can be called fast. And I am okay with that.

Spoiling Dead over at io9 has these Q&A's...for those who want to know what is and isn't coming in the finale from inside sources.

Spoiler

Q - Do we see Morgan in the finale?

A - I thought you would ask about Daryl first! Yeah, Morgan is seen camping out in the forest during the opening sequence.

Q - Is the dismembered black male Morgan?

A - No.

Q - Does he make it to the ASZ?

A - Yeah! (Along with Daryl and Aaron)

Q - Does Carl lose an eye?

A - No, Carl is still as handsome as ever.

Q - Does the ASZ get overrun by walkers?

A - No, the safe zone does not get overrun.

Q - Does anyone get killed by walkers?

A - I have a feeling I will be saying no quite a lot. No.

Q - Do we find out what the 'W' means?

A - Yes. Wolves.

Q - Do we see The Wolves at all?

A - Yes, a few of them.

Q - What about Negan?

A - Sorry to disappoint, but noooo.

Q - Does Daryl lose his hand?

A - That old Nicotero picture? No, his hand, arms, legs are all intact.

Q - Does anyone die?

A - Nobody in Rick's group dies. Daryl fans can relax.

[Nicodimas]

The spin-offs name will be.............

FEAR THE WALKING DEAD

..uh MISS.

[Jakovasaurus]

So now it's the "As" vs the "Ws". Next season should be donnybrook.

[Nicodimas]

Hi..Hi Rick!

Wassup??

[QuickTidal]

And the guy who plays Morgan is British! Who knew? Seriusly, usually you can hear a bit of their accents poking through, but with Morgan I can't hear it at all. Well played sir, well played.

[acesn8s]

How many Ws are there, do you think?

The 2 guys in the beginning and the 2 at the end could be the same?

[paran falcon]

I thought I had heard/read that the actor that plays Morgan was British. He does cover his accent well. And without using a southern drawl like Andrew Lincoln does. I've heard British actors say before that the southern accent is the easiest American for most to do...

I'm interested to know how Morgan went from completely insane back in S3 or S4 after he'd lost his son, to total zen master quarterstaff wizard. For those that saw The Talking Dead after, Morgan's actor (Harry something) said Morgan has experienced something that has completely changed his outlook on the world. He seemed to hint that we might get to see that next season.

The scene where Sasha laid down on the walkers in the grave was just chilling. Thought she was basically giving up at that point.

Two people showed incredible restraint in not killing someone. Gabriel couldn't even manage to commit walker suicide although he did manage to finally kill two walkers. And Nicholas, good lord did he deserve a slow, torturous death! I'm not shocked that Glenn spared him as Glenn has always leaned a little to the preservation of life side. He'd have been justified this time, though. I'm a little concerned that those two aren't back inside the compound yet. I'll be interested to see how Deanna is next season. Will Rick essentially assume the running of Alexandria as she bows out over the losses of her son and now husband? She was quick to sign off on a death sentence she had just forbidden in the previous episode, though. I think it's clear the will be war with the Wolves upcoming...

Ya, the 2 they showed were the same 2 guys.

Good Season Finale! (ps don't click that spoiler w/ my prediction up above as it didn't happen, and so might happen at some point next season) I like Chris Hardwick's suggestion that all episodes should be 90 minutes!

Damn Morgan is a badass. It looks like somewhere along his travels a blind martial arts master took him under his wing.

How long again until October?

[paran falcon]

Did anyone else catch the tiny preview of Fear the Walking Dead? They're going to show from the beginning of the virus outbreak. That will be intense! There will be so much they can do with that. If they've got some of the same writers on board and they cast well, it could be really good. Can you imagine how many "celebrity" walker cameos they could come up with? We should start a pool on that!

I kind of got the vibe that the theme of the episode was one of "sparing the life of the cowards" by those that are strong enough to function in this world. Both Gabriel and Nicholas were spared from what should have been their deaths by people who have learned in their short time in the ASZ that they need unity to survive. People amongst other people. Rick even has the them of letting new people into his family...but I love that his speech at the end was basically "If you want into my family, that's okay but things are going to CHANGE. You are all going to learn what it is to survive in this world and it is not cowardice. You'll see, I'll show you."...and then abuser dude slices the nice architect guy's neck, and Rick gets his first chance to show these new potential family members what it takes to survive in the Walker world...cold determination, and unyielding decisiveness.

Just an excellent finale all round.

Totally agree. Deanna came around quickly, with her husband still warm at her side. Now, can the A's be prepared in time? Will the Wolves outnumber and out weapon them? Will Gabriel become useful AT ALL?! (What was up with that white shirt of his not getting one drop of blood or gore on it when he finally killed? Some kind of sign?) I can see Nicholas following Glenn around like a new puppy. Assuming they make it back inside the walls. Will Morgan's new zen attitude clash with Rick's outlook right as the Alexandrians are ready to be molded into the survivalist family they need to be?

[acesn8s]

I think Gabriel might become a more contributing member of the community now that he has vocalized his torment.

Quote

The scene where Sasha laid down on the walkers in the grave was just chilling.

Yeah, the shot from the mass grave, looking up at Sasha made me think about pictures from the holocaust. Emaciated people, barely recognizable as human ... victims. I saw the walker "corpses" as humans once again, victims. Then when Sasha laid down with them, my heart almost broke.

Is Fear the Walking Dead going to be airing soon?
I thought it was slated for Summer?
