Most shows are coming to an end with their sixth season; however, The Walking Dead is as alive as ever. The first episode of the season got 14.6 million views during its premiere according to Cinema Blend. Though these numbers are not record breaking for the show, they are impressive. The show’s biggest competitor for views is currently NBC’s Sunday Night Football.
Two months after the attack, the community is struggling to survive. They are forced to rebuild the wall, while their food supply runs low. While looking for food, Rick and Daryl meet Jesus. Jesus is one of the leaders at the Hilltop. Rick and Daryl decide to trade for food with the Hilltop; however, when they learn that the Hilltop is being extorted Rick decides that he will kill Negan and the saviors, the people that are extorting the Hilltop. Rick and a group of his best fighters attack the saviors at night and kill everyone in the compound. The group thinks that they have killed all of the saviors; however, when they try to take Maggie to the Hilltop to receive medical assistance the saviors block all of the paths available. The saviors mentally provoke the group every time they stop them. When the group is caught, Negan makes demands to Rick, and then randomly chooses one person to beat since Rick has killed so many of his men. The season ends with Negan beating one the people in the group.
The show’s ending caused the large question of: Who did Negan kill? However, asking that question is much easier than getting answer. The show runner Scott Gimple said, “I believe there is no way. There are a couple of things in there that might help people possibly kind of limit the amount of people who are vulnerable but I would say I would like people not to go down that route because I don’t think - I truly don’t think - there is a way to puzzle it all out definitively.” This did not stop the brave internet explorers.
A YouTube channel called CP Games has heavily examined the last part of the show. If you look at the picture you can see how Negan lined up the characters to choose who to beat. One scene in the showed Negan passing by Rick before he picked who he would kill. The shadow on Rick proves that Negan did not kill Glenn, Rosita, Daryl, Michonne, Abraham, Maggie, or Rick. This leaves us with only four characters remaining, however we can assume that is wasn’t Carl (Rick’s only son) because Negan said, “Anybody moves, anybody says anything, cut the boy’s other eye out, and feed it to his father.” Why would you cut Carl’s eye out if he is about to die? This leaves the list to only three. The show did not give more information on who would have been killed, however the comics do give some hints. In the comics, Negan was protective of women. In one of the comics where he was talking to a room full of his prostitutes he asked, “I ever hit any of you?” Due to this soft spot for women we can guess that he wouldn’t have picked Sasha.
The final two characters are very different. We have Eugene would have developed immensely over the season. Eugene has gone from a weak character who fears everything to a strong fighter that is willing to die for the group. The last character that changed this much in the show was Beth. Beth's character was built up for episodes before she died, similar to the way Eugene has been built up. The only evidence against Eugene was a picture that was posted on Twitter showing a wax figure of Aaron in the background, but the picture was quickly taken down after it was posted. This makes us guess that it was Aaron because the wax figure had a crack in the head that would show Aaron as being dead. The question of “Who did Negan kill?” will remain until the next season, but fans will continue to get closer and closer until season seven finally airs in the fall.
