Disappointing finale. Not in the show as far as how the episode played out. I thought it was well done. Just really didn't see nor expect it to end up that way. This is going in a completely different direction than the comics. Which is interesting but it makes you question how much further this show is going to run and also whether or not Negan is going to be a character that lasts long after this issue is cleared up between Rick's group and The Saviors or if Rick stays true to his word and ends up killing him. I feel like that may happen now.

But what a let down with Carl's death. Assuming that bite truly is a death sentence and not some type of tease or set up where it's apart of the plan to get after Negan or whatever. That didn't seem to be the case though. So after all the hype and heart to heart this season about him being the future, and the leader and then he makes all the right decisions like saving that guy, recruiting him into the group and then saving all of those people while also willing to sacrifice himself to Negan. They do this to him. I know the fan base is kind of split on Carl. I've personally liked the kid and his character development from pretty much the beginning. So it's a tough loss for me as a fan.
