Loved it :D

I think more of the impact of the episode, and indeed the finale of Season 6 for me was seeing Andrew Lincoln's performance. Rick totally losing control when he has always been such a good leader was very powerful for me.

Brutal episode but they had to giver us something after that terrible cliff hanger for Season 6

If they had given us the reveal at the end of season 6, this episode would have been nowhere as good.
 
At first I thought, oh Ginger Duke Nukem what a shocker, but nothing could prepare me for round 2. Wtf! Dude is straight up evil.

Very well done episode. It's about time they shook it up a bit.
 
It's a zombie show where law and order are long gone and violent gangs rule each area. How is it too far? I imagine real life would be just as gory as this in the same situation.

If you want a soft show for pansies, go watch Eastenders or something. :o

well no, it wasn't really. the cliff hanger they ended on season 6 didn't tie in ''suck my balls'' didn't run in sequence/wasn't said

some of the acting is second rate compared to the top tier shows ie game of thrones; rick crying lol

also, either it was continuity or just me overlooking something but when rick was sent to get the axe, he climbs on top of the motor home, there's an axe on the roof of it that is just ..... there?

the flashbacks of other people getting executed but then it was only glenn and ginger nuts who were actually wiped out was that just a mind **** or what? didn't seem to run in with what actually happened

ordinarily, i'd watch it again but once was enough. the glenn scene was shock for shocks sake. trying to compete with the red viper vs the mountain in terms of a talking point

Those flash back/forward scenes was what was going through Rick's head when Negan was giving him the speech/lesson i.e. what happened to Glenn and Abe could/will also happen to the rest of the group if Rick doesn't comply.

As for the second part, well what happened with Glenn was ripped straight from the comics:

And so what if they did it for a talking point/shock appeal? Negan is a serious villain and is not to be messed with, how else do you think he has managed to amass such a huge following and have 3+ groups succumbing to his commands? Not through being best buddies but through complete and utter sheer terror and that is done with extreme violence.

Very well done I thought.

Was expecting Glenn to die as he does in the comic, not so much Abraham so when he bashed him in I thought Glenn had gotten away with it.

Abraham is dead at this point in the comic as well, so I guess they did two deaths for maximum impact.

For the first part of the episode i just kept wishing they'd hurry up and show who it was but by the end I thought the whole thing was great and wouldn't change a thing.

Exactly! The emphasis was how dangerous Negan is and his capacity for voilence .He not your 2 bit bad guy, he the real deal, Evil incarnate in TWD. He wanted to show Rick he was in charge , he was God. He determines who breathes, who dies. He makes the Governor look like a saint in comparison. It really did hit home the fact for Rick and his people and most importantly the audience believe he is capable of ANYTHING at ANY TIME.

He wanted total and utter compliance, Would you dare to even look him the wrong way never mind rebel at someone like that if you were in Rick's shoes.

Nasty stuff and worked really welL

I really did think Carl was going to lose a limb.

Good episode, very brutal.

They needed a very bad enemy and Negan is that, the way he broke Rick. Will be an interesting season, now that Rick isn't the alpha male.

quote of the episode was "Lucilles a vampire"
 
I found it very meh. I guessed Abraham would go as he was a safe bet but then killing Glenn whilst unexpected made the previous season so pointless with all the fake outs it was just frustrating. And then we got a full 45 mins of Rick looking distraught and defeated which would be fine if he hadn't gone off the rails a good 10 times so far. Found the Governor much more intimidating when first introduced than Neegans happy go lucky showboating.

Hopefully upcoming episodes I might actually enjoy and be entertained watching. I'm too desensitised to blood and gore thanks to GoT, Spartacus and the like for it to have that impact. It mostly just happened as I thought it would but they dragged the suffering out over the whole episode.
 
What I find funny is the amount of people who say they don't like it, yet waste an hour every week to watch, then waste even more time telling the internet about how meh it is.
