Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan) has said that when he watched the show he was surprised the scene ended on the cliffhanger so it seems likely (despite what others have said) that they have filmed stuff after Negan does the hitting.


I agree about Enid though, once Negan is dealt with and the next Big Bad comes along there will probably be people claiming she's a spy for them

Look, of course they have already filmed it. the logistics and cost of ending the series there and then going back to the same location, with the same vehicles, crew, cast and having to ensure continuity would be a nightmare. there is no way they would spend so much time and money to go back to film a few more scenes - they are obviously going to do it all at the same time.

Plus they start filming again in a few weeks and no way will they be this close without having written at least half the season scripts by now, and no way are they going to do that without knowing who dies.

...anyone know the date which the series returns - has it been announced?!

I bagsy Sun 30th October as its close to Halloween and they generally always do that

Unless they don't continue the scene but jump to a while afterwards. e.g. All the survivors in the RV going back to Alexandria and we find out who was killed as they slowly appear one at a time out of the door.

They messed up the impact of the scene with the cliffhanger so no guarantee they'll do any better next episode.

Yep, they could do that. But I'm sure that I read that they were going to pick up directly from the scene where who-ever-it-is gets killed and also the guy that played negan said they had shot more scenes and that he was surprised it ended where it did. in my opinion they would also get more impact for the death by showing what happens directly afterwards. Of course, however we imagine it's all going to play out they are bound to do something different!

..yep, I've read/heard that as well. The director stated that next season will continue directly from that scene.

I'm a bit of a lurker when it comes to this thread but enjoy reading it to see peoples different views and opinions.

I'm very surprised that more hasn't been made of the recurring POV shot throughout the program. After every break we got a POV shot, presumably the same person each time, and someone who was captured, so either Daryl, Glenn, Michonne or Rosita. It would make perfect sense to me that the final POV shot is from the same person as all the earlier ones else the earlier ones don't really serve any kind of purpose (unless of course they're just a huge red herring). Assuming it's not somebody that's on the end which rules out Glenn then my money is on either Daryl or Michonne as I don't think Rosita is a big enough character. Daryl is obviously an original and Michonne is quite a popular character, plus she's just got all happy and loved up with Rick. Either of them for me.

Ermagherd ... Sea Zermbies ..

Scott Gimple was on the Talking Dead and said they would show the death and I think he said it would be exceptionally gorey which rules me out watching it. Seeing something like that in a comic is different from seeing an actor die like that.

Anyway they also said they knew people would look at camera angles etc. It wouldn't surprise me if they moved people's positions in the line or move vehicles. As they said they haven't filmed it yet so the light etc will be different/

Scott Gimple cvomes across as a morose character. He seemed very aware of the negative response to the cliffhanger and said one story would end and a new one begin.

No way would Megan kill a woman. Rick's crew were cowardly in killing people in their sleep so I can understand Megan killing someone. That one girl had her finger cut off for stealing so I think that kind of thing is the punishment for women. It would just be too 'unmanly' to kill a woman like that.

Ahh, Negan would be so much less scary if his name actually was Megan. And he had pigtails

I think Dwight deliberately shot but didn't kill Daryl to weaken him, so that Neagan wouldn't see him as a threat.
I kinda think Dwight will help Rick's group in the end.

Several sources I've read say 9th October.

BIB - Based on what we've seen what on earth makes you think that?

Yeah, literally nothing we have seen even points to that so two guesses where their "speculation" comes from.

It would be a strange way of going about things. Why would Dwight help Rick's group? What would he get out of it? Would the 'reward' be to join Rick's group? If that's what he wants, why did he not just go with Daryl when he offered in the first place? Or, if he didn't trust Daryl at the time, secretly follow him to see if Alexandria was legit?

Can't even see the Alexandrians wanting Dwight since he shot one of their friends dead and wounded another. Could just imagine the frosty atmosphere if Dwight and Daryl were ever in the same room.

I know a few people reckon the POV shots throughout are relevant ; if this is the case and the parson who does is the same as the one whose POV we see you can rule Daryl out. Look at the POV just before Dwight opens the van. You can see the back of daryl's head in camera shot so the POV must be that of someone behind him. Rosita and Michonne are definitely behind him, not sure about Glenn. But if that is a clue (and it could be a red herring!) then it's not Daryl.

That's what I thought

It's like the people on here 'predicting' that the terminus lot would be cannibals, apparantley based on nothing more that the fact that Mary was BBQ'ing some meat and there were no cows around

It was only a fun idea guys, no need to be so serious and critical about it. It's a TV show.

Well I thought it was plausible! Dwight is there under duress, maybe his perspective changes over time and he does help the group. The only prob is that he killed Denise so it is more likely that Daryl will kill him at some point but anything can happen in this show so who knows

Ah, that's interesting, I didn't notice that. I definitely think there's something in it (or else it is a deliberate red herring) else the shots are a bit pointless. Based on that, if it's not Daryl and potentially ruling out Glenn on the end (due to Negan looking both ways) then it's Michonne or Rosita so my money would be on Michonne. Of course, this could all be a load of bollocks and it could be anybody!

It is just so f.. annoying that each time someone predicts something, which later turns out to be true, we are spoiled by those who have read the comics.

So now we know, based on the comic readers reaction to the theory, that Dwight will indeed become nice-ish.

Surely most of you on here by now are smart to all this. You must know there are people in this thread that have read all the comics and are deliberately dropping hints here and there as to WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN, when they know full well that's exactly what happens in the comics and could very easily translate over to the show.


The only good thing that might come of it is the producers said they are trying to swerve the comic readers all the time and change things around which is why I don't think the person Negan kills is the same as the comics. I'm sure with the other things it makes for a great story in the comics but if they keep their own stories good and don't follow the comics too closely it can still be an entertaining show. The swerve obviously with Dwight would be to kill him right off the bat or fairly soon.


I think with the Glenn dumpster incident and now the finale with Negan, I do think the producers of this show are playing with a lot of those comic book readers and are changing things as they go along, it's became more of a proper TV show, it's made like a proper TV show, it's basically a drama, there's very little horror in it and with so many characters to play with, one or two of the main cast certainly wont be missed because they have so many to play with and make them do so many things and tell so many different stories, stories that just wouldn't translate well to comic book form, stories that really do rely on great actors and seeing them play it out on screen.

Well, I don't read the comics so I just go on what happens in the show Dwight was originally trying to get away from the saviours which is why I thought maybe he will end up helping Rick and Co. but from what I have read on this thread and in a few DS articles, the show doesn't follow the comics anyway so there is no guarantee as to what is going to happen.
