The Walking Dead: 10 Most Disappointing Episodes Ever

10. Last Day On Earth (Season 6, Episode 16)

To start off, we have the conclusion of season 6, probably one of the biggest "sequel-bait" sequences in modern small-screen history.

Upon settling in Alexandria, a new threat emerges in the form of the Saviours, who ruthlessly dominate any rival group who comes their way. We know that a man named Negan is in charge, but we never meet Jeffery Dean Morgan's character until the very end of season 6. Rick's group are on their knees and the nasty leader chooses one victim as retaliation for their misbehaviour.

Cutting to a first person view, Negan smashes somebody's head in with his favourite weapon, a razor coated bat nicknamed Lucille. The key word was "somebody" as the episode concluded immediately afterwards. It was a real slap in the face to the fans as they were forced to wait another year for the mystery victim to be revealed. The first victim was revealed to be Abraham, an ultimately inconsequential character death.

To build up this new antagonist for so long and then cut viewers off with a lousy cliffhanger? It was undoubtedly a ploy to keep audiences coming back for the next season. This tactic worked as ratings exceeded seventeen million upon season seven's opening. What this creative choice ended up doing was completely neuter the death of Glenn Rhee, something which switched many a viewer off from the show.
