It is sort of weird how that scene is completely overlooked. It had me literally shaking, which is something this show had never done before. The fact that Rick was absolutely going to cut off his own son's hand for the man who just killed two of his closest friends actually did a better job driving home just how hopeless their situation is than the deaths themselves did.

I thought i was done with the show after that pathetic cliffhanger last season, but maybe I'll stick around for just a bit longer... Maybe....

I dont really think the cliffhanger itself was bad, it was the waiting 6 months to find out is what most people hated about it. If it ended like that in the second to last episode, I think people would like the cliffhanger more since they would only have to wait a week.

I kind of agree with you. It wasn't the cliffhanger itself that was terrible, but rather everythong surrounding it. The entire season 6 was a huge letdown, with several episodes that felt like they were just wasting time. They split the midseason finale in half much like they did with the season finale, except there the pacing was atrocious and there was no payoff, then they spent the next half season building up to the big Negan reveal -- the one thing that would almost justify all the dicking around the writers had been doing for thw whole season, aaannd they cut it short. It was a huge slap in the face, and i did not see it coming.
