Well, the predictions I read were correct and can't say that it's too shocking as
Spoiler:
Glen is the comic book victim and Abe should have already met his end as well.


But, the graphic detail was pretty shocking even for this show.

I can see why this ep was hard to shoot (no pun intended).

I've lost all faith in this show now.

How is this entertainment anymore?

I pretty much said that after the finale last season, knowing what was coming.

I feel awful about life as it is, so this show doesn't help.

Yeah this may be it for me.

Hard to watch Rick and crew pussy out again and again and get brutalized

Curious if viewership will drop after the premiere. My wife couldn't make it through the show tonight. It was just too over the top. I finally got her back downstairs and they started the Carl part and she noped right out again.

Yeah, this felt more like torture porn.

With The Governor, he was a bastard, but you could believe people would follow him. I don't quite buy that with Negan--one of his own guys would have just taken the pyscho out.

The exact same thing happened to me! When he made the mark she was out again.

This show is utterly brilliant. Anyone thinks otherwise is wrong.

No fucking way is this show "utterly brilliant". It is one of the most overhyped shows that general audiences thinks is "the best show ever'... just like SOA.

One of the most stupid things I've now ever seen a show do is make its viewers think a character died... drag it out... then show it was a fake out. Then have a season finale where they don't show another death. And then have that death be the same character they previously did a fake out with.

Far from it.

Just because they hit you over the head with a bat, don't make it brilliant.

I don't feel good about myself after watching this show.

So why put myself through this? It is TORTURE PORN!

I don't think I'll get some of the graphic images from tonight's episode out of my head.




Screw this, I'm out. I AM OUT!

Should have shown one at the S6 finale and the other tonight to surprise the fuck out of everyone.

That would have been fucking brilliant right there.

Of those that are "done with this show", have any of you read the comics? This story thread in particular? I think they would be at risk of losing viewers had they not shown the brutality of Negan. This was an out of nowhere shocking event in the comics.

What's with the dude's ears on Talking Dead?

It's more disturbing than the show

I know dude - I was well aware with what happens in the comics. But the drawn out brutality, torture, misery.... I've read the comics, watched every episode since day one.

But this episode crosses the line for me.

Still a surprise to me on the second (or additional, I should say) death even if teased or whatnot. These episodes just float thru my brain anyway. Massive fan service tonight, but I liked. Nicotero ramped it up
