Warning: Spoilers for the sixth season finale of The Walking Dead are ahead!

Is Glenn really dead? Will the walkers turn on Sam when he calls for his mom? Is Daryl really dead? Who met Lucille?

For fans of The Walking Dead, it’s been a season of prolonged anticipation and frequent frustration, with cliffhanger after cliffhanger dangled all the way down to the long-awaited arrival of the notorious Negan. The season finale continued the audience-teasing trend by finishing the 90-minute episode with a POV shot of an undisclosed someone being beaten, presumably to death, by Negan and his barbed wire bat Lucille.

It’s fairly common knowledge at this point that the recipient of Lucille’s deadly affection in the comics was Glenn, and his outburst at the idea of Maggie taking the hit seemed to rub Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s onscreen Negan the wrong way as well. But Glenn isn’t the only likely candidate on the show. Just about every major character, with the exceptions of Carol, Morgan and Enid, was lined up in that clearing, and Glenn might just be too obvious to be shocking at this point.

Negan threatened Maggie, which is what drew his attention to Glenn in the first place. This would be a genuinely shocking turn as not even a show like The Walking Dead would seem likely to take out a beloved character and her unborn child at the same time. The threat Negan made (to feed Carl’s remaining eye to Rick) just before he got started with Lucille seems to also rule out both Grimeses as targets.

A more likely alternative would be Abraham, who in the comics died the way Denise did on the show. Abraham stared Negan down as he was making his rounds in the final scene, which seemed to amuse Negan, possibly enough to keep his attention. Eugene, now that he’s given his “recipe” for bullets to Rick, doesn’t have a whole lot much more utility to offer as a character, and that coupled with the lengthy goodbyes he got when he separated from the group with the RV could make him a prime candidate for the show’s writers to take out. Historically speaking, pretty much any time a character like Eugene has been fleshed out and given more to do after having been relegated to a background role, it’s basically been the writers’ way of signing that character’s death warrant.

These are just thoughts on a few of the many options Negan had to choose from. It’s just as infuriatingly likely at this point that it could be Daryl, Aaron, Michonne, Sasha or Rosita. Our official guess is that Negan was just wailing on the dumpster that the whole gang managed to slide under at the last minute. Who do you think met Lucille? Let us know in the poll below and in the comments.

    Why have the point of view of someone from inside the vehicle Dwight was in charge of and then have the point of view of the person being hit by Lucille if the Victim was not one of Dwight captives?

    this is not the first show to have end of season major cliffhanger . so many shows over the years left me hanging till the fall on who was killed or might be dead. Simple said remember LOST? ended the season on opening the hatch had to wait till next season to see what was in the hatch

      It is a main cast member glen was killed in comics . maggie is ill she may not survive even if not killed . Eugene Abraham Glenn are top picks in most polls

        Just because we, the viewers, think it'll happen doesn't mean it's any more likely. It'll most likely be the opposite of who any of us are thinking. I feel like it's gonna be Rick, he seems to be grooming Carl to take his place, what with giving him the sheriff hat the first season of the show on forward.

          Tara, I wish to know where you procure your questionable intake items, because the surroundings you find yourself in seem impeccably delightful.

    If y'all listen closely to 1:03:14, Negan mentioned a distinct feature of the person who he'll "beat the shit out of" with Lucille. It was almost a dead giveaway, but you won't get it the first time you watched that part. Watch it again online and go figure 😉

    If Walking Dead had the Balls is be Daryl. I know a lot of people would freak. But get over it. It would change the show. It show you that anyone could die then.

    To the 362 people who think it Eugene. You where not paying attention to the episode at all. It for sure not him or Rick or Carl. Reason it not Eugene OK from Negan POV. Carl was to his right and when he picked the person Negan pointed his head to Carl that was on his right side. Eugene was right to Carl from Negan POV. So it Not Eugene. I think anyone to Rick Left Side POW is safe I think. Also It not Glenn or Maggie.

      Um dude...They have come out and said they don't even know yet...So....

    It's not Rick Negan said to cut out his son's other eye and feed it to his father. It's Glen. Is you listen very closely to the audio you hear Maggie yell "GLEN!" not once but twice.

    1. B

      BlueRadio

      No it did not. Also if it Glenn that story we had in the earlier season was stupid then. Also look to where glen was at. If it was Glenn Rick Carl would of been to his back. Not so his right side like he pointed out in the scene.

    I thought maybe Rick because Negan yelled to shoot out his son's other eye if anyone got up.

    I feel like it could have been Abraham...looks like I'm not alone

      Well.. it is not Abraham. That's all i can tell you if they decide to follow the history in the comic. I wanted to know cause' it was stupid not showing who met Lucille. So... I already know i can't wait to next season! People will remain loyal anyway even if you show who will not be in Season 7.

      1. P

        PurplePizza

        It could be Abraham, they don't follow the comics directly, for example, the arrow through the eye that took out Denise, actually took out Abraham in the comic.

          Agree. Like i said, if they stick to the comic it's not Abraham.

          That's why i said "if they decide to follow the comic".

          If you see how Abraham and Eugene said "godbye" it's possible that is one of those two.

          1. O

            Or it could be argued that since Abraham is "supposed" to be dead, per the comic, it makes perfect sense to kill him now. There are no more Abraham stories in the comic.

            Having said that, this show seems to do whatever it wants and breaks canon a lot. So, who knows?
