    Funk.

    We lost Karl Funk.

    The Hilltop woodworker, who played the character Neil, and was shot in the back seat by Simon.

    "Damn Straight" you expertly uttered as your very first dialogue.....only to die minutes later.

    You will be missed, even if you are a born against christian, and talk WAY to much about it....

    Thank god we got rid of Carl. His trite teenage angst was counter productive, especially with all the others wallowing in their emotional conflicts or off on absurd tangents

    Karl hadn't been a teenager since roughly 1981. And he was actually very good at making wooden spears and kazoos.

    Not Karl!!! He's been a survivor since Season 6! But at least the Most Recognizable Hilltopper got a name and a couple of lines before receieving the honor that is Simon's bullet, lol. Who's gonna take over the blacksmith now? Neil and the blacksmith are both gone! (the latter suffered an off-screen death, as the actor left the show after 8x01).

    My stomach sank when he said “damn straight.” Every time a background character suddenly gets meaningful lines it’s a death sentence. He delivered the hell out of it though!

    I had an inkling it was Alden all along! Subtitles showed his name as Alden last episode (or was it 8x06? Whenever the Saviors got thrown into the jail) but I wasn't sure and tried to find other sources.

    But thanks to Dean for clearing that up!!

    When I saw him sitting in the back seat with three main characters he may as well have had a red shirt on.

    I thought the exact same thing!

    Well, my heart didn't sink, but I knew he was going to bite the bullet when he said that.

    I was thinking, "At least you went out with a line!"

    Well I hate to be beating a probably dead horse...but in the comic it was our boy Carl who moved to the Hilltop and trained with the Blacksmith Earl and learned the trade. Dammit all to hell Gimple, now who's gonna be the blacksmith?!!?? You take everything away from us you bastard! Another reason Carl should've lived, we need those weapons as well as all the other things the blacksmith makes. *facepalms*

    Careful! Some of us don't read the comics. That should have been in a spoiler box. Thanks!
