It’s a character that I don’t really care about,so no big deal to me [Edited 11/26/18 21:43pm]

He's one of the poorer casting choices, so I wasn't that bothered to see him go. In the comics he was about 6ft5 and had more of a gentle giant vibe but with the training to kick your ass if he wanted. That didn't come across in the show and they never really knew what to do with him other than be a soundboard for other characters or exposition.

Loved this weeks episode though, real old school horror and probably the creepiest episode of the show so far!

According to some reports, they are hemorrhaging viewers year over year. It's starting to wear thin.

yeah it was creepy alright but I hope this storyline isn't dragged out too long.I want this show to be more than just "wars" all the time.

I was starting to warm up to him. You´re right that they didn´t really showcase his skills very much but I think when he first appeared on the show he did fight very skillfully, swiftly and efficiently and they went back to that a little bit in this episode, and I would´ve liked to see so much more of that. I hope he survives and stays on the show but it doesn´t look like it.

Yeah, he was a badass when he was on it ... and I think that came across the best in his first episode when he was giving Rick and Daryl the run-around, one of my fave episodes.

Sadly, Tom Payne confirmed on the Talking Dead after the episode aired that he's out and Jesus is gone

They are killing off too many leading characters. Jesus had a lot of potential.

So is Jesus still alive in the comics?

I'm about ten issues behind, but yes he's still alive in the comics.

I really didn't care about Jesus' exit. But, one thing I don't understand is how the most useless character ever on that show, Eugene, is still around???

With Eugene's knowledge he's very convenient if they need someone to make bullets, fix a radio, engineer windmills, etc. in order to move the story on. He'll be around for a while yet. I don't mind too much as I like the actor Josh McDermitt

I used to feel the same way about Eugene but then he became the one who saved them all during the war with the Saviors,so I have a new respect for him.He's very skillful.

I found him boring and useless at first but over the years I´ve learned to appreciate him and the weird way he speaks and tries to sound serious. And he is very skilled. It´s also interesting to see how he´s changed after the timelapse, for instance how he´s able to fight walkers now.

I would really, really miss him if they´d kill him off, and I liked how he tricked Negan and the Saviors.
