I thought it was amusing that I missed the first half, but even though I did, I didn't really miss anything at all. In a sense, that just shows what the producers have been doing to the show... stretching the mystery out so much to keep people strung along.

The suck my nuts from Abraham was a nice last word to Negan.lolll
Ho shit yes lolllYou know the actor is going to own that statement going forward. Walking down the street some random dude is going to shout "suck my nuts!" For decades.
What a terrible, disgusting episode. There was no need to show all that gore, it could easily have been done with going to a black out when he swings. You have to wonder how many people will stop watching after this, my wife walked out and said she was done and I doubt she's far from the only one.
Anyone else remember when this show was about surviving against the zombie apocalypse? When Rick drove off and looked at the zombie, I saw that as closure where the writers tell us the show is no longer about the dead.

This show has always been violent. If it turns you off, then the show was not meant for you. There has been live disembowlment, a crossbow bolt through the back of the head and out the front eye, and tremendous amounts of blood and guts whenever someone gets eaten on screen. I'm pretty sure more than one character had their jugular actually ripped out of their neck when they were getting eaten... but NOW it's too far?
It's an adult show... take the fact that they made you feel this disgusted as a measure of how realistic the effects team made it.
And the show hasn't really been about the dead in a while. I'm fine with that, as long as the characters involved are well developed (which they need to work on). After a certain point the zombies aren't a major threat, and we're dealing with the aftermath of the outbreak which in large part is how all of the remaining survivors behave.

This. Its always been bloody and gorey. You are just taking offense that it is one of the main characters it happened to this time. If it was some random dude being beaten my Negan you probably wouldnt care so much. Which means the show is working and developing strong bonds to characters, but its a more realistic show in that not everyone lives happily ever after like 99% of other shows.
No way. Glenn's death was done perfectly. It was a real tribute to the comic:Yeah, I think that's the key. Although Glen's death was particularly violent & gory. But other stuff, like the gorey napalm zombies, were pretty funny. You know, a new twist on "how can we gross people out with zombies?" lol. I do feel like they could have cut down on how much they showed of Glen's death. But on the flip side, they could have gone gorier with Abraham's death...they could have shown the baseball bat turning a mask of Abraham's face into pudding, but they didn't.

I was just speaking to your opinion that they could have cut down on how much they showed of Glenn's death.Oh, that's separate - I think they did justice with his demise in the show this week. One of the reasons I didn't want him to go (because I do feel like he's been boring for a looooooong time now, really ever since the prison fell & he got depressed) was that I was afraid it was going to feel like a token death. They definitely sent him off in a solid way!

I sort of thought it might be two characters and am glad they didn't wimp out and give Glenn a pass, even though I did like the character. Same goes for Abraham.... Personally I wish they would have ended last season with Abraham, then showing Negan dragging Rick to the RV, fade to black.... It would have had a larger impact and still would have had people guessing.... Toss in Glenn at the series premier and whoa.... would have taken a lot of people by surprise. When I saw Negan talking about the "first one was free" and I saw Glenn in the background I knew it was coming...
I'm surprised at the number of people I'm hearing complaining about the violence from the receiving end of Lucille. There's been a lot of graphic stuff shown before IMO. The walker deaths are always gruesome, and we all know when a main character is "taking one for the team" it won't be pleasant....
Now I do like my drama with a little bit of violence, but don't want the show to be just violence with a little bit of drama. Suspense and tension is what I want to see.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLWhy is everyone assuming Glenn is dead?
We won't even know until next episode whether or not he managed to roll away from the bat at the last second and find safety under a garbage bin.
Next episode? I think you mean 4 episodes away, two of which are purposefully about something else entirely to piss off the fan base.Why is everyone assuming Glenn is dead?
