Cue end credits. Enter fan rage. They most likely will end up in Hilltop with the rest of the gang.

In an interview with EW, Walking Dead executive producer and director Greg Nicotero spilled the brains, er, beans.
“That was the end of the story for that season and that is that Rick has lost control and there’s Negan”.
In the 18-49 demo, the episode’s 6.9 rating was 16 percent lower than the season five finale. “I talked to Robert Kirkman after we did Talking Dead, and he is doing the backstory of Negan right now”. “I approach [Negan]. like he used to be a used-car salesman”.
Now here’s the kicker, you guys. Being one of the few remaining characters from the pilot episode, Glenn might possibly bite the dust come season 7 with all his near-death episodes in the past.
But worst of all, it will be remembered as the season when we realised with absolute certainty that you care more about viewing figures and cheap tricks than you do about the audience that has turned the show into a juggernaut. Or did The Walking Dead team made a decision to keep it straight and not take a hard left turn from what happens in the comic? We’re changing the direction of the show and bringing Negan in, it’s a great time. “We certainly got a taste of that in the finale”, she added.
In the 90 minute finale that aired on AMC this past Sunday, Walking Dead fans were in for a wild ride, as the tension built and built until the reveal of the show’s biggest villain; the baseball bat wielding, leather jacket clad, swearing like a sailor, Negan.
The actor also shared his experience while doing the shoot, telling the news portal that it was “unbelievably emotional” as two of his cast mates did not make eye contact with him until the second night, while the other two embraced him after. Who do you think died?
Honestly, we hope The Walking Dead showrunners didn’t waste a cliffhanger to reveal Glenn’s death, especially after the stunt they pulled with the dumpster in season 6.
Um. what? There are so many problems with this comparison, I don’t even know where to begin.
“I am not really signing, I just wanted to say this is the stupidest thing I ever saw”, commented Stephen Urbanksi from MA. That is until the fall 2016 premiere of the show’s seventh season.
