TSDF has some new details about Rick's departure from the series, namely when and how it occurs.
We can now confirm that Rick Grimes' story comes to an end in episode 5. He DOES die in that episode.
Looking at all the recent photo evidence of the large herd and the leaked script page that was partially deciphered, we think it is safe to say that the herd plays a part in Rick's death.
Once more detailed information becomes available, we will update.

My number one fear (ha) is that TWD looks to Fear for tips on how to transition away from one lead protagonist to the next. The way they did it in Fear was incredibly jarring and disappointing— the idea wasn't necessarily bad (though I don't think I would have liked it regardless), but the way they 1) made Madison almost a totally different person, and 2) drew out the reveal of her fate over eight episodes was just absolutely poor.I hope they give him the same drawn out and incredibly pointless death that they recently gave to a Fear character.
This is a spoiler thread. No need for spoiler tags.You know what, people always complain when a show follows the same tropes and gets boring. Hell people have complained about TWD comic for the same thing as things got predictable for a comic that started out great precisely because it was unpredictable.
I think this could turn very interesting if they say fuck it and make
Negan or Maggie the new main

I don't think Rick's exit is necessarily a bad thing for the show at this point - the story of him and his family is more or less over by the end of season eight, sans Judith - but it's how they do it and handle its aftermath that I'm worried about.
Maggie's leaving the show same time as Rick.You know what, people always complain when a show follows the same tropes and gets boring. Hell people have complained about TWD comic for the same thing as things got predictable for a comic that started out great precisely because it was unpredictable.

Didn't they kill off Carl because Chandler wanted to move on? Isn't that what's happening here too?
But they won't. They've shown time and time again they're not creative enough for that.You know what, people always complain when a show follows the same tropes and gets boring.

Yeah, no shit.Pretty sure the people running AMC haven't suddenly decided that they hate money. Despite the ratings decline, TWD is still the #1 ad delivery vehicle on cable. You don't just "end" that when you've got it going for you.

Also, Maggie's leaving too.

They'll continue to bleed viewers since the show has gotten stale as shit and all the cast is leaving, I gave up years ago. The comic will do.That *will not* last with multiple key cast members leaving. The show has been in steady ratings decline for several years.

Walking Dead's always had its biggest stuff happening midseason. I can't remember a single memorable season finale of the series.Rick dying is something you keep for a season finale. Episode 5 ? lmao
Breaking Bad wants to have a word with you. Or even Lost. There are many shows where the showrunners said "This is the story, this cant go on any longer", no matter how great the ratings were.

Chandler actually had intended to stay on the show for a long time, and bought (or was in the process of buying? I can't remember) a house near the set so that it would be easier. He'd been assured that they still had plans for Carl in the future, which is why he was planning for it, but then they decided to kill him off instead.Didn't they kill off Carl because Chandler wanted to move on? Isn't that what's happening here too?
It seems to me - and this is just speculation - like they might be trying to downplay his importance to the series. Hell, if you go on AMC's official Twitter page, their banner has Norman Reedus on it right in the center, and Andrew Lincoln is nowhere to be seen.Rick dying is something you keep for a season finale.

The possibility of some fuckery by TPTB is starting to rear its ugly head. While we still believe our information is credible, the likelihood that some type of shenanigans is afoot is slowly increasing. We stand by the spoiler because it's the clearest, most reliable information we have at this point. We all know, though, that some things are not always as they appear. (Dumpstergate anyone?)
We care about accuracy, so if we become aware of credible info that says we're wrong (not just troll tweets or teases) or some context that changes things, we'll definitely tell you we were wrong and clear it up.
It's actually quite fitting for this show to become a shambling corpse long past its "best before" date, wouldn't you agree?

Nah... THIS was the beginning of the end... when Nicholas was told what would happen on The Walking Dead over the next 3 seasons and he elected to peace out...I'm just sad that this TV show became a shadow of a former self. I used to love it until the season after Glen's and Abe's deaths. I see that season as the beginning of the end.

Followed by the unnecessary Glenn death dumpster dive fakeout mere episodes before his actual death.
This was the "jump the shark" moment for the show.
End the show.Continuing the above conversation from last month, I just saw a spoiler for a death in the first half of this coming season.
And it is a trash decision.

Them two maybe could have retained interest without Rick but nope,
