Not a bad start for that Season.
I was right with my guess who will die, but i haven´t seen it coming what happened with Glenn. I hope that Rick won´t stuck in that "depression mode" which he had some seasons before.for a long time |

For me this was the mutant child of The Red Wedding (for gut wretchingness) and The Mountain v The Viper. Have to admit, this may be the strongest episode of the series. Its wrong to say its my favourite, but it was the episode that has hit me the hardest. the show, cast and creators really need to be shown some award recognition for this. Regardless the fact that I guessed one death correctly (didn't expect the second, despite the rumors online), the cast hit it out of the park.

Wow what a Season opener
Not overly surprised by the victims, but definitely surprised to see two go! |

It was a good episode but sadly spoiled months ago on social media so no surprise, just curiosity as so how it was done. You were never going to prevent people from finding out after the lack of reveal.

The media aren't very good at NOT telling us who died. I feel sorry for those whose enjoyment of the show is spoiled by the leaking of the death. And who it was...?
I couldn't imagine waiting to see the episode on UK TV and avoiding like the plague all social media, newspapers etc, till the screening. ....not being funny but its VERY EASY to stay away from social media. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Yesterday, I purposely did not go on Facebook or Twitter all day (not even once), for fear of reading a spoiler and I managed to do it effortlessly (its really not that difficult). Watched the episode at around 7pm (had recorded the 2:30am showing) having no clue as to who would die...... Quote:
He's also Trevor in GTA 5.

My heart is broken! 'I will find you'
Oh Glenn... I loved that guy. I was pleased to see him alive and well on talking dead (!) but also it bought it home how sad the whole cast were, loved seeing the photo of Glen and Rick meeting for the first time. I am so excited for this season, think it's off to a great start and I can't wait to find out how they come back from this - they surely will, but it will take some time and no doubt more bloodshed. |

That dream sequence of them round the table floored me.
Glenn with a baby on his lap.I felt quite traumatised after it. I had kept away from all spoilers so had no idea what was going to happen. What they showed happening to Abraham was bad enough but Glenn, did not see that coming. I can handle blood and gore, I also watch GoT, but this episode was a bit too much for me. JDM is a fabulous baddie, makes The Governor look like Dick Van Dyke. |

I've probably had the show spoilt once during that time, so I do agree, although saying that, I do the same with Game of Thrones and i've had that spoilt more than a few times so maybe it's show-dependent ! |

It was both brilliant and horrific! |

I was the exact same. Stayed away from Social media and my usual US TV websites and even here. I then went and saw an unlimited screening of The Accountant (Still no social media) came back and was almost undone by the fact that Sky had switched to Fox and the Talking Dead. I was trying to quickly grab the remote before being spoiled by anything... (Made it in the nick of time)

I woke up at 3am (I think) on Sunday night and had fallen asleep watching Family Guy on Fox - the telly was still on and Walking Dead was on! I let out a little scream and a 'lalalala' and had to reach for the remote super fast!!

Funny, I think the exact opposite
![]() The Governor had nuance and had a certain amount of moral ambiguity in the beginning. He had a shot at redemption but left his demons get the better of him. Negan on the other hand is (IMO) a cartoon, moustache twirling baddie. There is no ambiguity. If the writers intended some duality they failed. There was the potential for some inner conflict within Negan, as with the Governor. Rick had behaved appallingly - as you said, he killed Negan's men in cold blood. There had to be some response, some reckoning. But the cat and mouse game Negan played with them and the uber violence and overkill mark Negan as nothing more than a one-dimensional, psychopathic sadist. Character is interesting. Smacking people's heads in with a baseball bad is pretty tiresome. |

So someone should avoid social media for the 6 months between the end of 6 and beginning of 7 just to avoid spoilers? That's ridiculous.
I purposely didn't Follow/Join or look for anything Walking Dead related on social media, I managed to keep away from any spoilers from end of S6 to beginning of S7. |

Plus Josh McDermitt always swoops in with funny quips.) |

What I didn't understand is why didn't he kill Daryl instead of Glenn?
Was it in his mind that he was taking out the strongest and weakest members of the group? |

I kind of knew Abraham was going to be the one to die - was it a line from the S6 finale when Negan said "..took it like a pro" or something? Definitely made me think that Abraham would be the one tough enough to stand up to the first blow.
Firstly he was looking forward to a happy life with Sasha (he might just as well have been wearing a red shirt) Secondly (and this happened even before the last episode of Season 6 was broadcast) when Michael Cudlitz's came up in the opening credits it was at the same time as a still of a wooden cross marking someone's grave. |

I think the violence was justified. Negan needed to completely break Rick, and to do that required something totally brutal to show him just how far he would go to take control of Alexandria and it's residents. The point of the violence wasn't simply revenge for Rick killing Negan's men, it was psychological warfare and it was effective. They all live in a brutal world where might is right, and Negan showed himself to be the mightiest, the one who would go further than anyone else to protect himself and his group and that everyone else means nothing more to him than a source of resources. To Rick's group he is the devil incarnate (or a cartoon, moustache twirling baddie if you prefer) but that's exactly what he had to be to achieve his aim. Anything else, any ambiguity would look like weakness and give a glimmer of hope to Rick. Negan couldn't allow that, That's my take on it anyway, and maybe we'll see more depth to Negan as the season progresses. TWD does good characters, I trust that they'll continue that tradition with Negan and we'll see more of his human side.
I think we will see a bit more of Negan in his homestead, especially when it switches to Daryl's time with Negans crew |
