How will they justify bashing his brains in next episode to the fans

The excuse will be more halfhearted than the "reason" they went with a cliffhangar.

>thinking you will find out who they killed in episode 1

They're gonna milk the shit out of it. Things like only show obvious non kills first like Rick or Carl. Talks like "ever since he killed.....well......you know...". Slowly show more people like Rosita getting back from a trip. One by one they will show people. And finally someone snaps and ends with a THEY KILLED ABRAHAM FOR FUCKS SAKE type speech

Is that Bull Randleman?

Some shit about how it pushes Sasha's story forward even though no one really cares about her. She will go back to wanting to die. She'll get captured attacking the Savior base. Thankfully she won't get too too much focus until an episode before her death.

Just predicting using the comic

This

WE PULL UPON THE RISERS, WE FALL UPON THE GRASS

Why can't this show ever be about just surviving amongst zombies and not having to put a bad guy in every season

The entire first half of Season 6 was that.

The first half of the season is Morgan and Carol in the Kingdom. You won't find out about Rick's crew until the mid season finale.

who cares this show fucking sucks
>literally stealing the legendary Sopranos ending and making it a retarded cliffhanger

anyone who has directed an episode from this show should fucking die.

You really want the legend Nicotero to die? Are you in your teens? I hope your father sees your shitpost and beats you to the brink of death.

they've already confirmed that episode 1 picks up right when season 6 ended

I never said they weren't. You're just not going to find out who it was for a few episodes.

reminder that Abraham is Lucille'd but Daryl tries to interfere and stop it causing Negan to kill Glenn too as punishment and then take Daryl prisoner

We will though. Most of what happens in the first episode has been known for weeks. The cliffhanger is resolved in the first scene, Glenn and Abe are killed by Negan.

What makes you think it was Abraham?

They already did that. It is actually pretty easy to survive a group of literal brain dead opponents.

>cliff hanger
Literally the producers losing faith in their audience.

Imagine if Breaking Bad ended season 4 with just the bell ringing and we didn't see Two-Face Gus until a year later.

It'll be Eugene

>cliffhangar

Its Carl

fuck off you hipster know it all faggot

So its well known that Maggie's baby died when she got slashed and she's probably going to be eaten inside out by the fetus, right? It's obvious that's being set up
