JDM did a great job as Negan. I couldn't take my eyes off of the screen when he was talking.
The ending is frustrating though. I understand cliffhangers work well in keeping the attention of your audience. I think I saw someone here say that they should have shown Negan's aftermath and the group looking around distraught. Personally I would have left of with that. Then you're spending the next six months wondering how they're going to pull themselves up and get back at Negan. Instead we're left with who died?

It was bullshit. I swear to god, I really am not just ranting when I say that I think I'm done with the show.
JDM is an awesome Negan, but that ending was an insult to people who watch this show. Could've been the most iconic scene in Walking Dead history... worst part is, it wasn't a misjudged mistake, that Gimple tool wanted some GoT buzz when he did this.
Christ, at least we got to watch Jon Snow getting stabbed.

One thing that was very cool was seeing that Negan and the Saviours had joined forces with Trevor Phillips Industries.
Great corporate team up.

Well, I hope they get right down to business in Season 7 and not BS anyone with a Carol & Morgan episode as the premiere, I know it's not likely but with the writers at WD, I'm a bit cynical.
The rest of the S6 finale was alright, I liked how as the episode went on Rick and co. were running out of options, if they had shown the victim, then fade to black, it would've been a 9/10 for me, but I'd go with a 6.5/10.

I predict this will win this year's ew.com season\series finale award for "weak ending for an otherwise good season."

So he definitely hit Aaron, right? Aaron had nothing all season other than being with Maggie a couple of times, he had multiple spots of dialogue in the episode where he was being a great person (we know what happens to the voice of reason types in TWD) and when Negan made his choice, the last shot was his shadow going past Rick's face towards Rick's left (our right). The people on Rick's right were Sasha, Aaron, Carl, and Eugene. It's not Carl, so it's one of the other three. And when you consider Aaron has been Glenn's stand-in this season, I think he's pretty much a lock as the victim.
Although I could be completely buying too much into that shot of Rick. Also, I don't know the comics so I don't know what Aaron's role is there. My gut just says it is Aaron.

Ah man.. You're going to end the Season like that?.. Other than that I really enjoyed this finale. The ending however did annoy a bit, I'm sure it will get leaked before hand but yeah. Come on people.. - So yeah I enjoyed how the saviours were pretty much teasing them all throughout the episode.. You knew it was coming. - Looks like Morgan and Carol are about to meet Ezekiel, Those looked like his people to me. - Jeffrey Dean Moragn looks like he will make a cool Negan, however It did feel like he was reading his lines from the comic, Looks like the F Bombs will not be a thing, Doesn't ruin it for me personally but I was somewhat hoping they would find a way around it. So yeah I imagine a lot of people are pissed at the final scene there, I will admit I find it annoying but I wont rage about it. Season 6 has been a really solid season, Roll on October when we can see who has gotten the beating. My guesses at this time are Gleen, Daryl or Abraham.. So my guess is that obviously Season 7 will pretty much be them being Negans bitch for the first half than fighting back in the 2nd. Building up to the All out War which will probably be Season 8. So yeah, Sucks that I have to wait 6 Months now.. I can't even watch Fear the Walking Dead as that is on BT here in the UK which I don't have. So till then I will just have to wait till October for more Walking Dead

Did that guy voice act him? Yup, that was Stephen Ogg, voice actor/model for Trevor of GTA V. Thought he was awesome. Menacing and dickish without over doing it.

I've read a good chunk of the comics, so I know who it is (Assuming they actually follow the story from the comics).
Having said that, I'm tapping out on this show. What a cop out to end the season the way they did.

Stephen Ogg was the best part of that episode. JDM is going to be great as Negan but seriously, f*** that ending. So stupid.

The reason this moment resonated so big in the comic is of how beloved the character was. Nobody gives a shit about Aaron, he's barely been around this half of the season. It would be so f***ing dumb if they went that way

It would be so f***ing dumb if they went that way I generally like Aaron, but he definitely stood out since he was the only one there who wasn't part of the original gang. Swap him out for Carol and we would've had the perfect scenario.

It's more than likely going to get leaked before the Season starts anyway.
Be interesting none the less when the Season 7 trailer pops up, we can see who it wasn't and reduce the likely suspects.
Right now my top 3 most likely are Glenn, Daryl or Abraham.

I really hope the person Negan kills is someone who mattered like in the comics. That was part of what made the scene so memorable, that it was one of the longest running and most popular characters.
I can't shake the horrible feeling that they threw Aaron and Rosita in there so that they can kill off a minor character instead and screw us over.
It needs to be someone major, Daryl, Glenn or Michonne for this to work. Even Abraham wouldn't be impactful enough.

Yeah, that ending was kind of meh. I'll still watch the show, but it could've been better.
As for who met Lucille? If I was a betting man, I think it was either Carl, considering he is close to getting into a "Leave It To Beaver" getting to old to play the part situation, or Daryl since he has a new show on AMC which seems to be a Comic Book Men about Motorcycles.
Either way, I bet spoilers will spill out during the Summer and said spoilers will involve every damn character. I am sure they will or already have filmed multiple victims just to protect the October debut.

Oh, we should also point out the Kingdom soldiers and their armor. I always wondered how that would translate from the graphic novel. That makes me wonder how (or even if) they'll bring Shiva onto the show.

I binge watched the first 12 episodes a couple of weeks ago (I thought there was only 14 so timed it so would go straight into finale) but when I realised there was 16 I left the last 4 and watched them last night
The cliffhanger ending doesn't really bother me too much. Yeah I was annoyed we didn't see who because I thought ending on the visual of whoever it was with their head caved in would have been a really great image to end the season on but I get it that they want to keep their options open with regards to who they kill off
Having read the comics I agree that it needs to be someone big. I hope and don't hope at the same time that it's not who the comics did because I don't want just a shot for shot re-tread of the comics but at the same time it really shocked me in the comics and it would still carry weight to it
I actually liked what they did with the saviours in this episode because it made them look like a threat with their numbers (Though if you can't whistle are you excluded from joining?) and seemingly being everywhere and Rick panicking and knowing he was f**** was done really well just with Andrew Lincoln's expressions
Negan was nailed 100% though. Damn

I get the criticism of the ending. It's very gimmicky.
But I just cannot hate an episode of the Walking Dead that has Trevor f***ing Phillips in it.
