I don't think anyone could survive even one good whack to the skull with a barbed-wire wound baseball bat. Of course, getting shot in the eye socket would have been un-survivable, without seriously advanced reconstructive procedures and medical care as well. So....yeah, anything is possible.

I also doubt it's Glen. Negan gave him a "pass" earlier in the scene, so the gesture would be a bit meaningless to then do him in anyway. Tend also to think it's not a female, for obvious reasons. :)

It feels like a really obvious "bait and switch" distraction.

I dont think its Abraham because then it wouldn't make sense to swap his death with Denise's (in the comics) Of all the people Sasha and Rosita seem the most expendable, but I hope its not Christian Serratos, shes very easy on the eyes.

There is such thing as bad publicity if it means fewer and fewer people watch the show.

Well all these changes from the comics have also written the characters into a lot of corners. (Massive text incoming)

They made Andrea into a villain screwing hoe-bag, so much so that they had to kill her off even though she is STILL alive in the comics. The relationship that Rick now has with Michonne is supposed to be with her. How is that a problem? Well Michonne is supposed to hook-up with the leader of the Kingdom which starts a major story arc that is playing out in the comics right now. They killed their only doctor as well and while I'm sure they can put a cheap stand-in in place, it's going to cause story issues. Another major corner they just seem to ignore is Judith (the baby). She was supposed to die in the prison attack along with Judith senior in rather spectacular fashion. They didn't have the balls to do it though, so on the show she gave birth and died doing it. They tried to kill the baby off in a more "tasteful" manner later, but the fan-base revolted, so they caved again and put her back the next season. So now they have this baby that is conveniently "somewhere else" whenever all the action goes down. Say what you want about Z-nation... they killed a baby in the first episode.

Anyway my point.... Maggie has her kid in the comics but on the show we already have a baby. So the unexpected and unexplained illness they gave her is to kill off the fetus leaving only one baby on the show. They don't want to make the same mistake twice.

Also I'm not sure how much longer the show has...... they are going to catch up to the "time jump" next season.... they obviously can't jump forward like they do in the books due to the fact that there are teenagers/kids on the show. So one more season and then the whole thing is going to fall apart because the only good parts of the show are direct-adaptations of major arcs in the comics.

Cactus Jack would beg to differ. Seriously how do they introduce Lucille and not even give a passing nod to Foley in Talking Dead?

Don't get me wrong, I think they are dead as well.

"You know how to bit a dick Eugene, and I say that with the upmost respect."

That's quite possibly the best line uttered by anyone in history, fictional or otherwise.

I like:

"Why are dingleberries brown? Because ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- happens."

vwalbridge:
Wait a second...

If the audience has anything to complain about it's Carol's radical 180 character turn.

So she is a bad-ass for nearly 6.5 seasons, then suddenly can't take it anymore for one episode and turns into a weakling?

THAT is the only dumb writing as far as I'm concerned. The rest of the writing thus far I'm A-OK with.
