Season 6 has been a long road for “The Walking Dead” fans, and the season finally ended last Sunday with an unknown casualty.

Rick and the rest of the crew spent the season finale trying to get Maggie to Hilltop Colony for help from their doctor since the death of Denise the episode before. The Saviors were one step ahead, finally cornering them in the woods.

With the anticipation of bad-boy, Negan, looming since the premiere in October, fans finally got to see the big man himself in the last 10 minutes of the finale. Playing a game of “eeny, meeny, miney, moe,” Negan made his first kill to teach Rick a lesson.

However, fans have no idea who was killed. Just as Negan picked the person and began to swing his weapon of choice, a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, named Lucille, the camera switched to first person point-of-view.

Viewers were outraged by the cliffhanger but it was one of the best decisions the show could have made. Finding out which major character was killed, along with the reign of Negan and the Saviors, will put the crew in a hard place for Season 7.

It was one of the best episodes of “The Walking Dead,” leaving viewers on the edge of their seat from the very first minute. While a majority of the show was slow-paced, the writing itself was some of the best it has ever been.

The actors gave all of their emotion in the finale, with an exceptional performance by Andrew Lincoln, who plays Rick. But, the best performance was newcomer Jeffery Dean Morgan, who brought Negan to life.

The 10-minute monologue was given effortlessly by Morgan, and it gave a preview of what we will see in Season 7.

While word of the finale is still buzzing, fans will have to wait until October to find out which of their favorite characters will not be coming back.
