    When Neegan showed up and I realized that the only fun episodes were the season opener, mid-season break, and finale and that Glenn and Maggie were the only two characters I wanted to live. Since the lame Glenn hid under a trash bin fakeout death, I knew Glenn was gotta get the bat and it wasn’t worth watching Maggie go through whatever dumb storyline they came up with after that as they were becoming even more predictable and mediocre over time.

    Don’t regret watching it to that point or anything, that was just when I decided to spend that time watching something else.

      That is also the moment where I stopped watching. I was already on the fence for some time, but the bullshit of having Glenn survive and then get his head smashed in was the last drop.

        Ah yep. Was looking for others who stopped at Negan.

        Powered through after quitting on the farm during the original airing. Just to put my hands up once one too many obnoxious decisions led them to the even more obnoxious Negan.

        Glenn died and so did my desire to watch.

        I remember this part also really pissed off a lot of comic readers because the comic does the batting event as very unceremonious event at the end of an issue, true to the style of the story. This contrasted a lot with the show which treated it like this big event cliffhanger at a mid-season break, only to then return to kill Glenn off as everyone expected.
