That season ended on the onset of the All Out War with the reveal of Sonequa Martin-Green’s Sasha as a walker.
Most recently, Season 8 riled fans up by ending that war with Rick stopping short of killing Negan.
For years now, Walking Dead fans have had a love-hate relationship with each season’s finale.
For instance, everyone’s goodwill took a stark dip for Negan’s introduction at the tail end of Season 6, when his first victim(s) were kept a mystery until the Season 7 premiere.
