Poll THE WALKING DEAD season 7 episode 1: Who will Negan kill?
- Thread starter Galileo7
- Start date
It's so painfully obvious that it's going to be Glenn that it's, well, painful.
The whole point of the dumpster scene was to "trick" the audience into thinking he had plot immunity and that they'd never kill him. If they had done it pretty much any other time in the past, and not part of the same storyline in which everyone already knows he was going to be killed because of the comics, it might have actually worked. But it didn't here. Again: It was painfully obvious what they were doing even when they did it.
Doubly so since they basically did the same thing with Abraham by substituting Denise in just a few episodes prior to the finale. "Look audiences, we're totally going to change things! And, and, and you know Glenn is safe because of the whole dumpster thing! (Mouhaha, we're so fooling them, Kirky!)"
Much as people seem to think the writing on the show is brilliant (I enjoy it tremendously, but I wouldn't ever call it that), the writers are about as subtle as a brick to the face when it comes to a lot of things.

Glenn--just so the producers can throw the "i'm tired of the fake-out Glenn deaths" back at the audience with the real thing.
Michonne is the next likely choice--instant anguish for Rick and Carl, and it would lead to Carl's alleged personality change in S7 (although Gimple says some of his Negan-connected story line might be spread to other characters).

I have voted and I stand by it.
The one who won't be on set when filming resumes and starts looking for new jobs. What an idiotic cliffhanger, the only way to keep it from leakimg is to keep the actor on conteact and have him/her film stuff which would probably mean a ton of flashbacks, dream sequences, hallucinations. It would be so bad that's probably what they're doing.
If Glenn is the one who dies it wouldn't be hard to have Maggie hallucinate him for a few episodes so that Stephen Yeun is seen filming.
