One or two centuries after the Zombie Apocalypse, The Church of Carl will be the predominant religion in the Walking Dead universe. His epistles will be the Holy Book of the Carlist religion and children will be taught about the Miracle of Carl, when His Holy Words brought an end to war and everlasting peace between mortal enemies.
Seriously now, the writers went way overboard with the Carl worship. Everyone kept talking about what Carl would have wanted. Negan gets all teary-eyed at the mention of Carl, drops his guard and allows Rick to slash his throat. Rick, who just one or two days earlier had ruthlessly killed a dozen Saviours after promising not to, now spares his mortal enemy, the man he had sworn to kill, the man whom his longtime friend Maggie wants dead above anything else. If that is not a miracle, I don't know what is!

Agreed...completely. It doesn't really even make sense that Carl wanted peace with Negan, he saw what Negan did to his friends and then all of a sudden he's wanting peace and harmony with him? No way in hell I was buying that.

They needed a plausible excuse for Rick to pussy out and spare Negan and that's the best they could think of: kill Carl so that Negan could live.
Apparently... everybody loves Negan. Coming soon on AMC.

Coming soon on AMC. lol!! Everyone could have loved Negan if they had built on his charm, and there were a few moments where I got a chuckle out of something he said...but that was far and few in between the entire mess of a season. I feel like the entire season was nothing but "filler" episodes. They could have shortened that up and not drug things out so much to where everything was just messy and it felt like most of the audience was thinking "Just kill him already!" They had plenty of opportunities! |

They had plenty of opportunities! Sorry, you lost me on the charm part. I strongly dislike both the character and the actor, so I was never going to be sold on Negan. I feel the same about the last two and a half seasons. From Season 6B onward I felt like nothing happened anymore and the episodes strangely both ran past at breakneck speed and painfully crawled at a snail pace. Negan's immortality was beyond laughable. I never, ever, thought for a single second that he was going to be killed during the season. Never. But yeah, the All Out War arc overstayed its welcome and two and a half seasons of Negan and the Saviours (cool rock band name?) was overkill. |

If that is not a miracle, I don't know what is!  That's so funny, and true, in a way. I kept picturing Carl's face and awful hair on an altar. 'The One-Eyed God' of peace. (A younger, more PC version of Odin, perhaps.) |
