Carl. Then we get to sit through another umpteen filler episodes watching Rick lose his mind.

Question: How many times will one character or another do something stupid for the sake of pushing an implausible plot line?

Answer: Looks like too many.

harveybirdman:
It was most definitely Glenn, if they make it anyone else it will be far too drastic a departure from the Comic though I was happy to see Abraham spared by Denise taking his death.

I mean how can you show the rift between Rick and Maggie if Glenn doesn't bite it?

Malenko:
Q: Who did Negan kill on the Walking Dead Finale?
A: About 1/3rd of the fan base

I think it was Glenn because of the comics, despite the show deviating from the source material. I believe the line Negan says prior to the whacking, keeps it from being Carl or Rick. Leaving the death as a cliff hanger, for a very loyal fanbase is just a dick move and I think alienated the fanbase more than keeping them salivating for more.

Im significantly less interested in the next season because of it.

harveybirdman:
I totally agree, and if it is Glenn his death totally deserves more than being a cheap ratings grab ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- show.... TWICE....

vwalbridge:
There is still a very slight possibility that Negan doesn't actually kill anyone. The writers have already deviated from the comic books so they could do it again.

Now hear me out...

Negan doesn't actually say "I'm going to kill one of you". He actual line was "So, now I'm gonna beat the holy hell outta one of you."

So, it's possible that the writers did this on purpose to buy themselves time between seasons, or to test the waters with the audience to see how they would react.

Remember, there is no such thing as "bad publicity". The show has already won because everyone is talking about it. So, if the audience revolts, they will just keep the victim barley alive. And if the audience was OK with the finale, they will let the person die. Either way, the writers win because they can do whatever they want before season 7.

Also, remember that Carol and Morgan meet up with those Horseback dudes earlier in the day...so it's technically possible for them to interrupt Negan's beating before his victim dies.
