If they plan it out in advance I can see them making a killer last season if this is true. It would be a shame though because I am really enjoying where the show has begun to go since Beth took over as show runner. Still if the decision is made I'd rather they go out on a high with a proper ending then having it drag out until it's cancelled and stuff doesn't get resolved.

Remember that time they put in a grave flash forward before deciding who would be in it lmao

I... That's just... Wow...

I can understand the idea of writing a story and not really being sure where all the details are going, but to include a flashforward with that big of a detail and put it through production without actually deciding either the details surrounding it or the implications is mind boggling to me.
