It was in the same season. Noah died five episodes after Tyreese.
Well then, Carl is gone. Just wished we didn't spend the whole damn episode waiting for him to die.
He did more acting in this episode than he ever did on the show, and I did tear up a bit though.
No father should watch his son die.

Just my interpretation of it. It was a very brief scene. To me, it looked as if he had woken up from the very same dream Carl was having.
I certainly didn't hate Carl. The majority of people on the show have been written like idiots for the past three seasons. Carl isn't alone in that.
Killing a character just to say, "See? We can kill important characters!" is bad writing. And while it might impact the story in a meaningful way, I think it hurts the show. The newer characters are not as good as the older characters. We already lost two characters that brought a lot of humor and heart to the show thanks to Negan. We're losing Morgan. We just lost Carl.
There aren't many characters left that I care about outside of Rick and Daryl.
(And that's ignoring the fact that we might lose Maggie soon. And if we're honest with ourselves, Danai is likely not too long for this show either given recent history-making events.)
Just from a business standpoint it makes no sense for AMC to do that. Walking Dead is still their cash cow and it's viewership is still way higher than that of Fear.

Don't worry, we're going back to Trashland in the next episode.
As for Rick's last scene... It seemed his whole right arm was drenched in blood, but not much elese (with that much blood, you'd imagine his whole shirt would be soaked if it was his). I mean that was a lot of blood covering his arm...
Almost like he had reached in someone's guts Morgan style.
Edit: Andrew Lincoln has already been signed for a 9th season according to THR, but of course Gimple plays coy, just saying "you shouldn't play the "Rick's dying" angle too hard". No answers until towards the end of the season of course.

Someone on Twitter pointed out that his right leg seems to be broken and it certainly looks to be.
Rick also uses a cane in Carlvision.
Danai was also looking Black Panther swole in the ep.
I'm looking at a screenshot of it now, and it looks to me like he's pale from blood loss and shot in the side. I'm not seeing a broken leg though.

This has got to be the point where Rick actually decides to go Carl's way, or not.

Lower half of the right leg looks awkwardly bent. Under the knee. Speculation with comic spoilers below:
Negan snaps his right leg in the comics. This is likely the aftermath of their final brawl, in which he spares Negan's life after cutting his throat.
I think that looks like a crease in his jeans, but I do see how people could interpret it as a break now.
I'd say this
is their take on Rick getting shot with Dwight's crossbowbelived to be dipped in Walker blood, so he thinks he's dying.
Wow, I had completely forgotten that all of that had happened in the same season (I had thought I remembered it being one season after Beth and the same as Tyreese, when the duration was that mid-season break after her I did recall instead). Even more of a waste, then.
i wish they would kill more off the show has been character bloated for 3-4 seasons..
Rick might be dying soon as well...
Last shot showed him bleeding beside a tree. I really dont get why they would wanna tease him dying just seconds after killing his son.
He either got bit or shot through the stomach.
They won't kill Rick. It's doing poor critically and ratings are way down from their peaks, they're still relatively high for a cable show. They will milk this thing until it's bone dry. The execs have said they expect Walking Dead to be a major franchise that lasts decades so as long as they can make a buck from it, it'll stick around.
100% agree the pacing and especially the long winded shitty dialogue has been a plague on the series since probably season six...they include about 20 mintues of story in a hour long episode. Every scene is over done in length and the dialogue is writen so badly.. i miss seasons 1-5 3 was alittle shitty because of the governer... It was an ok ep but the long as winded death scene which was the whole ep was annoying i mean i understand it but damn is every single character that's been on the show for a long time going to get an hour long death scene, but i never even liked caaaarrrrooul lol he wasnt a good actor at all.. and im glad hes not around anymore.
good for him lol andrew be gettin that money.. :p id definitely not want to watch the show anymore if he died
yeah I mentioned it in my first post yesterday after watching the show it looks like he was shot not bitten they didn't even talk about it on the talking dead at all. i'm pretty sure that particular scene were the close-up of his eyes was in the first half of the season too so this isnt the first time it was foreshadowed...
rick is over level100 soo he'll be all right :p

Okay, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it sounded strange.
A moment like that would probably work better with an actual normal gun shot rather than a silent "pew." It was weird as the camera was far outside and the viewer heard the sound effect louder than actually made sense.
This is one of my favorite scenes in 13 years of Supernatural. Works a lot better.

Okay episode for the most part, but they dragged it out way too long, people came into this episode knowing the outcome, it was unnecessary filler that repeated itself too much. I do hope they wrap the whole negan thing next season at the latest, it's going nowhere interesting at this point.
Also, that gunshot was hilariously poorly done, they could have done that much better.

So uh... did anyone notice Carl's eyepatch was on the wrong eye like immediately after a seen we saw it on the correct eye?
That's about the most interesting thing I can say about this episode. When this arc is done, I'm dropping this.

It took a few years but the kid finally learned how to act enough to pull off his death scene.
It was a good episode. Everybody knew they'd make a big deal out of it so the final result was pretty good.
Now it's probably back to Negan being a douche for the rest of the season. *groan* They need to wrap up this story asap. The show has already lost a ton of viewers so as soon and they end this crap season the sooner they can start trying to salvage the show.
Their montage songs are the fucking worst I've seen for a popular piece of entertainment. Tone killing. They go on for way too long every time.
And it's weird, it feels like the Rick/Michonne/Carl scenes are from another show.. a slightly better, more competent one.
So glad they finally killed that Negan goon though, that guy is terrible and got way too much screen time.
I hope the death of Carl changes the show but I kinda have a feeling we're just gunna run through the same Negan motions all over again.

75% of this show is people going from ruthless killers to pacifists and back again while people argue with them about whether they should or shouldn't kill.
I think maybe the question should be what was good about it?
God, this show stinks.
You can't seriously think that was good? It sounded like Carl himself was singing it! Dreadful.
Negan's story will never be wrapped up. They will keep going back to that well of making him look strong until he finally wins the big one at Wrestlemania and we respect him.
Oh wait a second... I got him confused with Roman Reigns there. My bad.
Not only can I, many people do. :P

Though I understand that his voice isn't something everyone will enjoy.
That's the problem with the show. They're not replacing the characters that they kill off
Yeah I'm also interested in seeing how we get to the scene with Rick bloody leaning on the tree. I do think it's related to something Carl said.
I quite enjoyed tonights episode. It was a really sombre affair with Carl, Rick and Michone all knocking their performances out the park and I could even put up with the silliness of Morgan and Carol. I do hope Morgan snaps out of it pretty quickly though, the one niggle I have with the show are the about turns everyone has from going from killer to remorseful to killer and so on and so on.
I'll just never be able to get over how this show portrays all the weapons. Even after all these years it's something that they can't get to look realistic. You regularly see people sweeping their automatic weapons back and forth as though it's a water hose. Why is it so difficult for the show runners to get that stuff right? And it's even more eye rolling with melee weapons. The ease with which characters can penetrate skulls makes me laugh every time. Morgan gently thrusts his moderately sharp stick and kills dudes. People are constantly thrusting blunt objects through skulls.
I mean c'mon. I know it's a a show about friggin' zombies but at least try to make shit look good.
