Sure, they payoff was brief, but the buildup took forever. And not in a "oh god this anticipation is great" kind of way. It was more of "can we just get to Terminus already".

Oh completely agreed.
I just thought they could have spent a bit more time resolving it.

I thought some of the writing on the way there was the best so far. The bit with Carol and having to kill the kid was probably some of the best writing they did.
It also really wasn't that many episodes. The first hint of Terminus was Season 4 episode 11, when they see the first sign. Then Season 5 episode 1 was where they took it down. During that time you also had the Reclaimers storyline, which was solid. Beth getting kidnapped, the Carol/Tyrese stuff...
Oh ya, the episodes and writing were great then. It was just the Terminus part of it that seamed to drag on. Like they were walking in slow motion to it.
So now we wait to see when Negan dies, this season or next? Should we set an over/under on how many more of the main group die before Negan? I'm going with 3
Well, based on that video... (speculation in spoiler)
Spoiler!
I'm thinking it's Abraham. The blood spatter on Rick's face seems to indicate that it was someone sitting close to Rick and on his right side. Also, the pool of blood at the end looks like it's close to where Rick was sitting.
Maggie is directly beside Rick and Abraham is right beside her. I don't think Negan would kill a woman like that, so that makes Abe the most likely based on proximity.
Glenn is on the far end of the line. Daryl is pretty far from Rick too, on the other side of Michonne.
Although... Looking at it again, when the camera tilts down to the blood, you can see a pile of fabric on the ground. The only person who was wearing something like that was Daryl.
Everyone else is wearing a jacket that wouldn't have fallen off during a beating.
