For me the finale wasn't what I was hoping for, they should have trimmed some fat from the show. Few 'major' characters I would have liked to have seen gone, none of whom was Carl, but I understand why they killed him (with Chandler wanting to go to college, there wasn't a lot of options for Carl, hands were almost forced to kill him, there was no way to really allow him to do both). If they use source material and do the Whisperers arc, that will trim some, but I still have no need for Daryl at this point. It didn't answer my questions about Jadis and the helicopter...I mean Anne and the helicopter. No Sheryl resolution, which I am hoping she comes back. I was also hoping for some sort of tease, after the resolution to the war, about Heath and maybe 'finding' him.
There were still things I liked about the finale, I'm happy they kept Negan and are using that source material. I liked the swerve they did with Eugene.
Bonus was seeing it on the big screen with the much better sound system than at home. I'll have to rewatch both to see what my 'bonus' footage was, but it was fun sitting with 50+ other fans watching it and interacting during the show.
