Well...he's alive because the comics kept him alive as I understand it.
Like that has any bearing, they’ve already fudged up the rest of the series

Just saying it's not a surprise or some sort of fan-pander that they kept him alive by any means. It was probably always going to be the case.

After eight seasons, AMC's The Walking Dead has been a ratings behemoth, but if Sunday's Season 8 finale is any indication, that reign of television dominance could be coming to an end......
.......Even with this decline, The Walking Dead was still the most watched drama of the evening.
What a stupid article.
Which of those two points do you think was the headline bait?
The entire season was stupid.
As a fan who has read the comics as far as the third compendium I totally expected this kind of reaction to the show by this point. I kept wondering if they really planned to continue following the main timeline and major events of the comic this far. Wondering because I myself wasn't happy with the direction they took in the comic either. I hated Negan. He was such a generic bad guy imo. The leather jacket, the boots the brawny physique and slicked back hair. His personality trait was he's violent and he swears a lot. And this went on for something like 40 issues of the comic. I feel like the writers realized at some point they really just had another Governor on their hands so instead of following the exact same path by killing him off in the end decided to imprison him instead. Which brings up another thing I have to say, to me the show made more sense in killing off Carl to give Rick more of a purpose for keeping Negan alive. Carl's dying wish opened up Rick's eyes in a way to end the cycle of killing. In the comic he just decides out the blue no more killing? Correct me if I'm wrong there but that's the way I remember it. So that's it for my two cents on Walking Dead so far. Just wanted to write something on one of the only shows I regularly watch. In my opinion the show has stayed true to their past formulas of success by following the comic's main events and timeline then just adding more action and surprises in between with more time spent on character development in order to keep things interesting. Unfortunately their mistake to this point was following the source material too closely.
