    If it is a cliffhanger then Gimple better be fired or have a really REALLY good explanation on Talking Dead.

    There isn't any; although, I'm still holding out hope they didn't. It's thee iconic scene from the comic books, which they should do straight up. No doubt they felt a need to change it to confound expectations, but doing it straight up, at this point, would have been unexpected.

    For what it's worth, I will be shocked if they do this cliffhanger. The rumors of it seem more likely to be the psych out.

    A cliffhanger would:

    - Be panned even by critics as too much cheap manipulation

    - Anger and even alienate fans

    - Ruin the big reveal, because it'll be spoiled, and/or people will care less after months of discussion full of irritation

    They screwed up the Glenn Dumpster arc, so they aren't above being stupid, but I'll be shocked if there aren't enough voices there reminding them of how poorly that worked out.

    They have plenty of other things to keep us hanging and wondering about, so it's not necessary to tick us all off.

    Internal ruining of the show isn't far!

    A cliffhanger would be cheap. It would be saying that they didn't have it in them to develop good stories, so they relied on cliche.

    Another aspect of a cliffhanger is that if a major character is killed in 701, we will have only one week to process the loss and discuss the ramifications.

    I heard tonight's episode will have one of the biggest cliffhangers of the series. Prepare for a looong summer wait.

    Read an interview with Frank Dara: he said we would need tissues and diapers.

    I am really hoping the diapers aren't for the sh*^ that will explode in my pants with anger if they screw this up. If they don't show me whom gets Lucille'd I'll sh+* my pants out of stupidity and anger I will feel.
    I already feel this season has strung me out more than a crack fiend. Or maybe it's starting to make me ask: does Gimple get pleasure out of being the biggest Dbag troll? Either way... See... I'm already mad thinking about the possibility that'll they will screw this up.

    After six seasons.... You should know better!
    I still have hope. I still have hope.

    You know, six months is an awfully long wait for a cliffhanger. Doesn't seem like a smart thing to do.

    Thanks, everyone. Wish they had seen it too. I still can't believe they didn't.

    Coulda been heroes, but chose to be arseholes.
    Now Appollnia's sentiments will echo all summer.

    Welp, that's that. Oddly, I am not all that angsty about the cliffhanger now that I know about it. I figure that Glenn is the one who dies, since from what I understand he is the one who goes in the comic. At the same time, I'm not going to worry too much about whether I am right about that, nor will I spend much time in the Spoilers section.

    Thread title changed from "It better not be a !@#$%^& cliffhanger"

    Well, Andy Lincoln wasn't joking about the finale making the fans sick.

    And now I know why Josh McDermit threw the script across the room.
