For some reason, when Rick drives away in the RV towards the end and looks out the rear view mirror to see the zombie get on the ground and start eating Glenns guts was almost as disturbing as seeing Glenn get Lucilled.
So, the ring that was in the the pile of blood and guts that is shown at the end of the preview was Abe's?
Also, here's the one thing about this episode the bugged me. In between the 1st & 2nd hit, Abe tells Negan 'suck my nuts'. Why didn't we hear that during the season finale? Only explanation is that it was Abe's POV and maybe he went deaf after the 1st hit?

What's the most recent post here with more replies?
Edit:
I did a quick check, I LOL'ed seeing all the threads for EACH Lost episode having hundreds of replies. And of course de series finale episode with more than 1K replies.
But the thread for this episode may be the one with more replies in the last... couple of years?

Agreed. It was just another exclamation point about their situation. They are so Fucked!!! The group has no control right now.

Glenn's death was graphic, but it was a nearly shot for shot remake of the comic book, including eye pop. This event was a seminal moment in the comic, and clearly was a nod to the fans of the books. The show runners haven't ventured into torture porn... they were simply being honest to the source material (for once).
I forgot about that one, I don't remember it being that graphic, but you're right on one aspect, we had no emotiontial tie to that character which changes the way we perceive the death.

People are questioning how Negan has followers, I question how Rick has followers.

Well, in this particular story line I would say they were. At that point they seemed to be happy to leave everybody else alone, short of those that joined their group willingly, and stay in Alexandria (short of doing supply runs like everybody else, which is where the Negan army confronted them, not the other way around).

Did you miss the "deal" with the Hilltop? You know, the deal where they agreed to be their muscle but demanded "half their shit." Sound familiar?

American Horror Story has some gratuitous skull bashing this week. I wonder if the scenes are an homage to The Walking Dead.

Ah, Lost theories. Maybe Rick is still in the hospital and all this is happening in his head.
I think where they are headed is Rick's group being the full on evil ones when they meet the FotWD group from the West Coast.
I think the visceral deaths in this episode were needed (and done very well). I applaud all involved for airing it. The walking dead have become their daily job to kill while the real threats are the walking living.

I'll admit my memory is a bit fuzzy because I did lose some of my interest last season ... They have caused the death of almost everybody in Alexandria (I believe Rick said they would take Alexandria by force if needed, and that was in one of his less psychotic moment).
Did you miss the "deal" with the Hilltop?
We're probably at agree to the disagree point since it seems you are one of those viewers that wants Rick's group to take everything others want to do to them, because by some twisted logic, that is what "good guys" do.

Ditto. For me the scene that was most questionable (but still should have been included IMO for the same reasons) was at the end when the walker started munching on what was left of Glen. Felt that more than what they showed during both deaths.

What's familiar about that? It was exactly what you said it was. A deal. Big difference between "give me half your shit or die".

BTW didn't some of that group actually join them in the fight against Negan after all that? If that doesn't prove it's a completely different scenario I don't what would.

Why didn't they load up Glenn and Abraham's corpses into the RV for burial? Alexandria already has a cemetery (now well-stocked) for them to use.
