OK time to cue this gif since TPTB apparently just are not going to let go of this The very fact that TPTB still bring up Dumpstergate and also the cliffhanger makes it clear to me it did not work as planned and that group remains quite defensive about the failure. Your mileage may vary of course. "....The cliffhanger worked. Executive producer and visual effects genius behind the AMC series Greg Nicotero recently opened up about the cliffhanger while speaking to ComicBook.com, six months later. "There was indeed a gut reaction to the cliffhanger by some people," Nicotero said. "I think after that shock wore off, probably about two weeks later, the response that I got was that people thought it was one of the best episodes that we had ever produced. As far as I was concerned, I was very proud of the episode. I feel like it elicited the emotion that we wanted and we used the camera to sort of confine and create this futile feeling of claustrophobia. I think that we checked off all the boxes." The Season 6 finale, one of the most controversial episodes of The Walking Dead, is also a fan-favorite. Now, with the new season is upon us, the approval rating from fans seems to be on the rise. "The fact that people were upset that the episode ended that way was a knee jerk reaction that within a couple weeks that sort of went away," Nicotero said. "People were like, 'Wait, you mean we have to wait?' Now that we're getting close to it, I think the overall consensus is that we like going on this journey and they want us to keep it exciting and keep it thrilling and keep the mystery. Otherwise why bother investing yourself in a show if there's no mystery or excitement to it."..." link

Yes, Sexual Chocolate, I was thinking the same darn thing. That, and I was also wondering what planet he has been on for the last six months!

TPTB could have simply said "we loved it and felt it effective but we understand some fans felt differently" That would have covered all the bases. But they just cannot admit a mistake it seems IMO.

Greg Nicotero I will never understand why GN is allowed to do interviews. When he talks about the show / characters/ arcs. He sounds like he doesn’t know anything about the show he works on.

The EP doth protest too much, methinks.
