I really liked this episode. Felt like a televised version of Fallout or any other post-apocalyptic RPG game, with a focus on settlements and managing supplies. I'm sure you could say that about past episodes but this felt one like the closest I've seen. The show doesn't always need zombies and bloodshed to be good, focusing on the realities of living in that type of environment is a nice change from time to time. Besides, looks like there's definitely some bloodshed coming up soon. Pretty excited for Jeffrey Dean Morgan to make his entrance.
I agree. She has been so strong for so long, it seems out of the blue that she has developed an aversion to killing when needed. If TWD has tried to make it seem like Morgan has changed her thinking I think they have failed. So now she's out on her own again. A setup to save the others?

I enjoyed the episode.. Lots going on..looks like some new blood for the show... I'm fine with the cliffhanger I am in it for the long haul

They really dropped the ball, it's such an iconic moment.
To short-change the viewer, make them wait months to find out and all the while the tension they built towards this moment is basically lost and there is a serious risk of it being spoiled.

I haven't even watched it yet but I know what they did at the end and I'm already pretty furious. They just went through this exact same thing with Glenn earlier in the season and they saw how everybody reacted to that. Just a crappy thing to do to your fans.

Oh, it'll almost certainly get spoiled before hand. There's gonna be set pictures from when filming starts for the next season and it'll be pretty easy to spot which character isn't taking part in the filming.

Absolutely and I'll try and avoid all of that stuff, but one wrong click on social media and all is revealed.
So stupid to build the story to that point and then leave the audience with blue balls.
In fairness, I liked the episode to that point and JDM was sensational as Negan.

I'm just gonna assume they stayed true to the comics on this one. Gotta give Rick and Co. some real deep-seated motivation for what comes next.

Not necessarily. Principle shooting would have been done, but pickup shots and editorial changes can be done quite close to an episode's actual air date.
There's also a strong likelihood that it was shot both ways in the first place.

They have the season's story planned out lone before, scripts written, etc. They would have been well into shooting the back half of the season by the time that episode aired. There's no way they would have gone through major re-writes and re-shooting because some fans were upset. This is not a show that's been afraid of killing off well-liked characters, or upsetting the fanbase. If they wanted Glenn dead at mid-season, he would have been dead. If they wanted to leave the question lingering, it would have been left lingering.

Yeah if that were the case we'd have another episode next Sunday with the real season finale.

Like I said, they likely would have shot it both ways during principle shooting and pick up shots and re-edits are always an option.
But you are certainly free to believe what you like.
