The Walking Dead Series Finale Tonight

[Snake45]

Series finale of The Walking Dead is tonight on AMC, starts 9:00 PM Eastern time. 90 minutes. Who will live, who will get a glorious exit, who'll get what's coming to them?

I've watched this show since the very beginning.  Kinda sad to see it end but it has gotten rather dull.

Survivors.

Daryl, Carol, Negan,  Maggie and Judith 

Everyone else is probably not making it.

I had to quit watching after it became a soap opera.

Agree on core survivors. Would like to see Jerry and Eugene make it out too, but they will probably get epic, heroic deaths.

But that's what most people liked about it. We love stories about "family"--Dallas, Sopranos, Game of Thrones, Justified, etc. etc. etc. 

When someone would tell me it was a "stupid zombie show," I'd respond, "It's really not about the zombies anymore. The zombies are basically just an inconvenience of life, like heavy traffic or a weak wi-fi signal. You can manage and work around them. The REAL danger is from Other People, just as it is in Real Life."

I get enough of that in real life without adding more things to worry about. I LIKE good zombie shows, and this one started out so well. Big fan of 28 Days Later with Cillian Murphy too!

If you laid a bet on that, you're a winner this morning. 

I was surprised that a number of characters didn't get killed. I wouldn't have taken a two-dollar bet that Eugene, Jerry, Ezekiel, The Preacher, Princess, Aaron, AND Mercer would ALL still be breathing at the end. 

The one "significant" death did surprise me--I didn't see it coming. But the actor explained in the aftershow that they (no spoilers! ) wanted to go out that way to bring closure to the character. 

All in all, a fairly satisfying grand finale, I suppose.

TWD was one of the only comics I ever really got into, so when the show was announced, I got really excited. 

Watched it religiously, up until about season 8 or so. I found it was getting to repetitive, and the storylines just weren't interesting anymore.

I stopped watching around the time Negan got locked up.

 

I've thought about re-watching it, but then I just don't.

I got hooked on that series early on but lost interest after the started to kill off all the most popular characters. I still remember the first episode. They were chasing a silver 1971 GTO Judge.

I was also surprised at some who survived and disappointed at 1 who didn't .  I agree it was a pretty good grand finale.
