    Im going rant a bit more on the subject. Spoilers.


    Spoiler...

    Im going to work on the assumption that the dual death is true..
    Even if they were to do this, i still would not have much trust in the writing staff or production. Not just because they've made some of the dumbest decisions and worst production moves anyone could ever make with a tv show. These mistakes were made and made intentionally and we the viewer cannot forget how bad the past couple seasons have been. I dont want to focus too much on this although its a damn good thing to focus on, but its just something we have to keep in mind because it sets a basis and a tone and it works with all the rumors we've been hearing.

    Some might be saying "Well if they kill Abraham and Glenn, then you can stop complaining. You're getting what you want and the show returning to creating an unsafe atmosphere for everyone and not just side characters that no one cares about".
    Im going to contest this notion.
    Early on we heard that it was Abraham that was going to bite the dust. I believe this rumor to be true and IMO the pictures back this up. I think this was the original intention and original script. I dont think they wanted to kill Glenn because they have decided to keep popular characters safe instead of creating a good story and maintain what the show was originally about. Turning it into basic cable slop that i poop on.
    What changed?
    Roles actors took. Specifically Glenn.
    During production of the sixth season the actor who plays Glenn signed on to two new movies and a different tv show. All rumors around this say that these are conflicting schedules and he himself is the producer or director for, i forget.... maybe both. So this is potentially a piece of creative work for him, something that could or would be more meaningful than TWD and something he would take on over TWD.
    While a lot of what im working with is rumor, we do know the actor who plays Glenn took these roles on and that they are conflicting in schedule w/TWD.

    Coming around full circle you may be asking what this has to do with my faith in TWD writers and why i feel this does not mean they have been set on a proper path for storytelling this world.
    Well its actually pretty simple.
    If all of this is true, then they would have written it the way we have come to expect. By overemphasizing a side characters death and pretending that its a main character or one of the few left from seasons 1 or 2.
    Basically they would have replaced Glenn with Abraham. But by chance Glenn has taken on other roles and basically had to bow out of the show.
    This was not a choice of the writers.
    The choice was made for them.
    This would not be creative writing or them attempting to give the viewers that unsafe feeling again. Which btw, is absolutely critical with Negan.

    ..... a playoff basketball game is on right now and ive ranted enough. I think i got my point across though.

    Either way, I can't see Negan taking out two people. If he does then that'd be a real surprise, which would be good considering how predictable TWD has become. But yeah, I still think it's either Glenn or Abraham, but doubt it'd be both.

    Spoiler...

    No. Thats definitely Abraham.
    The Glenn one makes sense though. It does not really looking like TWD make up or even Glenn the character. Just the actor, and there was a film he worked on around the same time as the filming of season six as well.


    They need to kill two characters to get any degree of respect back from film makers, comic fans and anyone who appreciates coherent story. But like i said in my rant, i still think if they do this, it would have been forced on them and not their choice or original direction.



    I think we need a third TWD show. Online only, possibly animated. It needs to follow Lilly and touch on the Gov. and his background. The novels were incredible, especially compared to what the show has become.

    Overall...

    I liked what I saw. I'm excited again for the moment.

    - Shiva looked fine.
    - The Tara stuff feels like the Beth stuff. I guess the question is will the result be the same?
    - Carol looked spunky and happy
    - Dwight looks conflicted
    - Negan seems to have his hands thick in Alexandria, which im happy about
    - Didn't see much Sanctuary, I saw Trevor Phillips though, more rewatches to be sure I guess
    - Didn't mind the nostalgia of the first half of the trailer, it was expected given how they approached the end of Season 6...and I expect more nostalgia for TTD

    TV still has a way to go before they accept the language and violence they still censor, but it'll get there. I don't watch very much commercial television, but what I have seen is that they have definitely loosened restrictions a great deal already. I'll be watching that episode on dvd again soon enough.........not sure if its this version or the edited version. Can't wait for the new season to start

    Yeah I noticed more and more channels allowing more vulgarity like "shit" and more nudity (side boobs, ass). Only a matter of time

    The guideline for cable is 10pm. After 10pm, there are no more restrictions on language, its really just an advertiser issue at that point. Even pre-9pm is an advertiser issue and expected audience, but there are more limitations. Hell, if you want to hear some real swearing on basic cable, turn it to a CSPAN call in show or a committee meeting with some pissed off members.

    I get the sense that they are gonna pull the same gimmick they pulled in the Season 6 premiere, with the black/white showcasing the past and the color showcasing the present. Only I don't think its gonna be exactly the same.

    I definitely expect them to open on that sneak peek, then the rest of the episode will be the lead up to that moment. So more unnecessary cock blocking of the biggest moment from the comics. If that's the case, I hope its just a standard time run, rather than 90 minutes until the final moments.

    For those who want a little taste before tomorrow nights premiere.

    Two part spoiler. One minor. The next which leads to a potential victim.


    Spoiler...
    Apparently, everyone in the lucille lineup filmed a death scene. The next spoiler will have a death. Though it might be taken down before tomorrow's episode.




    Spoiler...

    Perfect way to weed out leaks.
    Film all deaths, screen a few to a handful of individuals, see who leaks.

    I will say that it sounds like there's various leaks out there that report different deaths
