A close up of the Sith Lord with their fingers raised prepared to use the Force in The Acolyte Episode 4
The Big Picture The last scene of Episode 4 of The Acolyte, "Day," is among the best of the series so far, with the Sith Lord revealing himself to the Jedi. And then, just as the battle starts... the episode ends. Many fans on the internet were disappointed at this sudden cliffhanger, especially at having to wait a whole week to see the fight. But there was once an even worse cliffhanger, one that makes The Acolyte's seem like a binge-watch by comparison.
So when it was time for the finale, Episode 16, "Last Day on Earth," fans were short on patience. The second half of the season completely changed the pace of things, with the proper introduction of the Hilltop and leads being dropped about the introduction of the Saviors. When Dwight was introduced before getting his face burned, everyone understood what was about to happen: Negan was coming at last.
The Backlash to 'The Walking Dead's Cliffhanger Made It Even Worse Before "Last Day on Earth" aired, there was a lot of hype around it. Season 6 had more downs than ups, but just the promise of Negan's arrival was enough to keep everyone tuning in weekly to watch the series. The cast themselves were teasing how bloody and scary it would be.
It was such a scenario, that showrunner Scott M. Gimple had to publicly ask fans for "the benefit of the doubt," and Robert Kirkman himself issued a letter to fans claiming he thought the episode and what happened were actually "fun." The promise of a payoff in the Season 7 premiere also didn't do much to keep spirits up. When it was finally time to learn who Negan had killed, expectations were mostly deflated.
