Not to nit pick but it's Glenn, not Glen. More importantly, according to your logic, Glenn has some of the most unfinished business you can have, a baby on the way. I still think it's probably Glenn, but not based on your criteria.

 

I'm with you but I think there's more. Unless the entire episode is a cheap smokescreen, the victim has to be from the inside of the RV (Glenn, Rosita, Daryl, or Michonne) because of the POV shot. In the POV shot right before the doors open you can clearly see the top of Daryl's head, so that takes him out of the equation. Unless I missing something there has only ever been one other scene where we have seen a POV shot, and that was when Glenn watched Nicholas shoot himself. In that scene he also got that ear ringing sound just like when Negan hits him with the bat. There's an isolated audio track of the victim after getting hit and it sure sounds like Glenn but at least sounds very much like a male, which would rule out Rosita and Michonne.

Not that this means anything but there has been lots of foreshadowing about Glenn getting the bat. Glenn holds a bat while at Noah's town and he is the one that almost gets hit with the bat at Terminus before Carol saves them. He also is the one that saw the pictures of Negan's victims and that came right after he killed his first person. Maggie cutting her hair saying that she can't let anything hold her back...

 

Michonne is safe, but not for the reason that you gave. She came into this apocalypse of her own accord and established herself as a formidable force long before she became "Rick's girlfriend." Plus, I just don't see Negan killing a female, at least not yet. It's Glenn, Daryl or Abe, and my money's on Abe, with Glenn in second place.

Plus there's the whole "Glenn gets hit with the bat" thing from the comics.

 

I 100% agree and Glenn wears a baseball like hat in the comics too!

 

The Usual Suspects, Seven, Silence Of The Lambs, No Country For Old Men, Fight Club, Empire Strikes Back (I admit this is a fake-out), Ocean's 11-13?14??, Breaking Bad

 

They couldn't just show his death in the finale because people would've complained about it being too predictable. This way there's still some suspense until his death is confirmed next season. RIP Glenn.

 

Here's an example of another POV shot it's been used more than once. This one happens to be Daryl in (Always Accountable)

Its not going to be either Glenn or Daryl. Neither of them had enough screen time and closure for any big death.

And BTW for the people that keep on bringing up the the 'POV" thing. The idea that it belongs to any of the characters in the van is just a fan theory, and a very bad one at that. The reality is that it's just the VIEWERS' POV to make it more immersive for us and for us to feel like we're there.

 

Thanks.

 

That's pretty much ridiculous. Look the POV thing could be a red herring to throw us off but clearly that shot in the RV is supposed to be one of the characters. Its a true POV shot meaning that it implies you are looking out of someone's eyes. It fades in and out of clarity both visually and with the audio. You hear the person breathing, etc... I have never heard of a shot that places the viewer themselves in a POV shot as if they were sitting next to one of the characters, but not supposed to be one of the characters. A shot where you hear yourself breathing even though you aren't part of the story. That wouldn't make things more immersive it would be an example of breaking the fourth wall which by definition destroys immersion.

In the end it might not matter whose POV we got in those shots and it was just intended to be ambiguous. But that wasn't me breathing heavy and struggling to see anymore than it was me that got hit with a bat, it was one of the characters.

 

I firmly believe that Negans victim experienced their 'last day on earth' in that van, and the abe/Eugene stuff was a red herring. And I agree that rosita would be totes underwhelming - however I did just watch a YouTube video where someone suggested that both michonne and rosita got killed because negan audibly swung the bat so many more times than in the comic! :zombies_shocked:

 

this has been my biggest reason to believe it was someone OUTSIDE the van...and Most likely Abe, but outside chance it is Eugene.

I think Abe was set up well in this episode, saying his good byes, talking about his hope, being strong for the group...

At one point he even said something about taking out every last one of them...

I guess they are getting what they want, because I keep talking about it, but I think it is really either Abe or Glenn.

 

I hear what you're saying, but I think that it's the buildup of Abe and Eugene that is the red herring. I do believe that the victim was in the van--mostly likely Glenn, but I don't think we can rule out Michonne.

I'm guessing that we see the 'Last Day' story from the perspective of the van group in the premier, giving whomever the victim is the buildup that they deserve, culminating once again with the Negan scene.

 

That's a pretty good idea. A whole episode that focuses on the interaction between Negan and the van group would be highly engaging.


Right up to the cliffhanger.

 

If they kill Glenn at the end of that debacle of a story line, as his Season 6 story line sucked, fans are going to be really pissed. Especially since he was hardly in the last episode. Not that the writers care about that...

 

Maybe the clue is (regarding the POV shot) we see the top of Daryls head, maybe it's a hint to say it's his head that gets bashed in
