Andrew Lincoln can deliver extremely good, if they have someone who can pull it off, it´s him, they should have gave him material, his reaction wasn´t that of a father who knows his son is as good as dead, Michonne looked more worried.
I don´t read the comics but I always wondered why Negan is still alive there, so I guess it´s because Carl convinced Rick not to do it ?? Anyway, my first thought after seeing Carl as good as dead was the opposite, I thought "Man, Rick will be pissed af, he´ll torture Negan into oblivion". It just seems weird that after it cost him his son, he is suddenly compelled to forgive Negan when it should be the total opposite, I guess it makes sense in the comic books since Carl is still alive (I think) and Rick wants to set a good example, but with Carl dead, Rick should go berserk on the Saviors and Negan, there is no other acceptable reaction.
Anyway, I never got the impression that Carl was too important in the show, he´s more of a link to Rick´s character and his reason to still fight, he´s there to add to Rick´s character if you know what I mean, at least that´s how I see him. In the beginning of the season when Michonne told him "this is your show" I think that was aimed at the viewers, but I was like "wtf, most of his contribution to this show has been holding Judith in his arms, this ain´t his show". I assumed he would be crucial to the plot this season, since that didn´t seem like a throwaway line, but I didn´t expect him to get bit.
I saw some comments on Youtube saying Carl won´t die, I mean, how the hell is he not going to die, he got bit in the stomach, you can´t cut off that part of the body smh.
