These show runners seem to be distancing from their forebears...at least so far. Main characters die...and stay dead.

The actor that played Nick said he asked to move on. I think they found a unique way to take him out in the present but still use him in a limited sense in the flashbacks.

Although I tired on the split time lines a few episodes ago but they did do a good job of tying it up with the finale.

Just finished up the final two episodes and I'm shocked at who got killed off. Out of all the characters on the show I assumed she was the safest one.

When it returns it will be like a completely new show without her. IMO

Also, Kim Dickens stated she did not ask to be killed off, this was a showrunner decision. I don't think she's mad or anything but she was just making clear it wasn't the same situation as Nick.

I read she was disappointed. Felt like there was more stories to tell with her character but accepted that’s just the way things go on a show like this.

Mark my words: This show is done.

These showrunners literally just killed the show. If there was any chance at reviving it it's now gone. You can't kill two lead characters off a show in the first half of a season and expect anything good to come out of it.

This show will now hemorrhage viewers until it's straight up cancelled. Wait until the viewer numbers come in after the August 12th episode.

You’re overreacting. They’re doing the polar opposite of TWD...no one is safe. If the writing and storytelling quality is there, the viewership will double.

The show already was trending down; they hit a series low before the mid season finale.

I think the zombie genre is just wearing thin in general.

Madison was a good character but not great. She made some dumb decisions that would give Rick a run for his money. I’ll miss Nick more than her.

Pretty much.

Which makes AMC's decision to promote Gimple even more of a head scratcher because his plan is to make even more spinoffs and expansion of the TWD universe.

I'm not either. Just wait for it. It's not been renewed as of yet for a 5th season. Either this season or the next one will be it's last. I'll bet you money on it.

This is true. If they had a shot at improving those numbers though they just screwed the pooch.

Parent show is already following their lead and killing off Rick and Maggie...well after the time would have been more than right. I see TWD caving and Fear blazing forward. The network likes it and doesn’t bow to hasty numbers. See EVERY SHOW since Mad Men.

They arent killing Rick and Maggie by choice. They actors chose to move along to other things on their own.

I’m aware. Point is Fear is doing it before it’s parent show HAD to...or SHOULD have done long before. Practically different shows...almost like TWD was a trial run in what not to do. First two seasons of Fear were so meh that the third had to be great or I would have carried out the promise to bail that most threaten (but never carry out) against the original. They obviously have their best writing and producing talent on the young show now. Enjoying it.

I think Lauren Cohen is also pissed they didn't want to give her more money then turn around and throw cash at Norman Reedus. I think if they had paid her she would have stayed.

I think they like the idea of her dying. Hard to argue. :)

I have no idea how the masses will react to fear killing people off but for me personally, I've found the introduction of replacement characters, great and loved the last couple of episodes

Didn't realize how tiresome the same drama becomes until new facess arrive with new takes.
Heck, I hope TWD slowly kills off 90% of theirs as well. As long as the new characters are 'new' and interesting.
