How much better would that have been as the final act of the season, jesus christ what a mess. Right? At most they could've showed on death, because I believe originally Glenn went first. His death was apparently shot last season, but then it was reworked to add Abe in who is now going first. Then if they NEEDED a cliffhanger and a shock death, they could've opened for another one. It's actually quite insulting to both the actors. To Cudlitz, because his death will be immediately overshadowed by Glenn, who is a bigger character. And to Yeun, who's big "arc" last season was dumpstergate and can't even get his own comic iconic death. He has to settle for aftershock. I don't believe for one minute that they changed the finale somehow in the middle of the season and originally had other plans for Abe. Nope. They are professionals after all and pretty good at what they do. At the time last season was on TV they would have been working on the new scripts already. I don't like the cliffhanger but I'm sure it was well thought and debated, not just hacked together as they go along.

I don't like the cliffhanger but I'm sure it was well thought and debated, not just hacked together as they go along. Actually, If you read cast/crew interviews aside from the showrunners, they didn't even know a cliffhanger was coming. Jeffrey Dean Morgan flat out said that. Numerous other actors also said they knew who died. They absolutely did not plan on a cliffhanger from the start. That was a ratings grab since the are steadily falling in the ratings. Lauren Cohen, who plays Maggie was the biggest give away prior to the post show interviews saying they didn't know it was coming. She's close with Steven Yeun in real life and she cried during every interview she talked about it. Behind the scene sources also confirm that one death was indeed shot last season. Abe and Glenn may have been written to die, but not in the same episode.

Mr Robot is phenomenal. I've binged nearly all of the first season, just one episode to go. One of the best lead performances I've ever seen by Rami Malek.
Need to gush.

Damn, I think I need to put this on my list too. If you and Envie both think it is great, then it probably is. Also, the cat in your avatar is really convincing.

It's not what you would expect, it's methodical with it's revelations and it's or of brainy but the message is intriguing and the acting is phenomenal. Also, the reveal for season 1 is great. I suspected it but still, it was good.

I just finished the 2 seasons of The Fall on Netflix. I binged it over the weekend and loved it. Still struggling to get through Season 2 of Bloodline. Looking forward to TWD even though I was thoroughly pissed off with that cliffhanger. I also just binged Pretty Little Liars - after GoT ended I needed something and my daughter recommended it even though its quite young I loved it it was great escapism for me and much needed !

I suspected it but still, it was good. I really didn't suspect the specifics of either aspect of the reveal, not sure if that's a result of watching it all in three days without reading anything. Anyhow I need to catch up with Season 2 so I can join the thread.

I've heard nothing but good things about that show. I need to check it out at some point as well. Yep, it IS that good. You and @kairos seriously need to watch it. I guarantee you will thank me later for continuing to poke at you about it. So glad to hear another fsociety member fanatic is born after breakfest watched it! This show is so good I am purposely staying away from the discussion thread for it here until the season is over. I beg you please don't read any spoilers. This isn't like Game of Thrones where coming into the show without being a book reader won't matter. Reading spoilers is a terrible way to ruin Mr. Robot. I don't even want to post anything at all! I also have favorite fan tribute videos but I can't post those either! So many people need to get through season 1 before I can even talk about it.

I was going through some of the on demand shows the other day looking for something to watch and I happened to see a show that I watched a while back. I liked it and I thought I would mention it if any of you are looking for something to watch. It is The Missing starring James Nesbitt and Francis O'Connor.

Envie, I just watched the first episode of Mr. Robot. Really liked it. Not all that familiar with Rami Malek (think the only thing I've seen him in was The Pacific), but he was great in this. Going to try and binge S1 and get all caught up so I can start watching it week to week.
