Walking Dead Season 7

Ezekiel rules, what a breath of fresh air, the dude is a favorite of mine already...

Great CGI work on Shiva the tiger...

I liked it better too. But I tend to like the "quiet" episodes better than most.

it was nice to see Morgan have some growth and begin to question his "no killing" philosophy-- realize it may not always be black and white-- without him going into some spiral of angst and self-doubt.

And I liked how they hung a lampshade on the absurdity of "The Kingdom" and the armor and everything, and kind of found a way where it seemed plausible.

I like this weeks episode way better than last.

Makes me wish they'd kill off the whole past cast and remain on this story and go on from there.

I hate Jeffrey Dean Morgan and hope The Murphy gets him !

lol, I kind of keep thinking the two groups will cross paths. Another survivor group made up of TWD fatalities would be fun for a bit part.

I'm okay with the way things went.Abraham was on borrowed time if your a fan you knew that!
Hell they are all on borrowed time!
Glen paid the price for Daryl,and let the rest know to knuckle under no exceptions.
The whole get my axe bit was absolutely necessary to break rick.
Which lets face it didn't work and even Neegan knew hence the chop Carl's arm off bit,Which did break him.
Carl understands his sacrifice will spare the rest of the group (qualities of a great leader)
Rick was used to being the top dog and there's a new alpha in town!

I think the big problem here is the casting of neegan.He is supposed to be a big dude so I think part of the problem is choice of actor.
They chose a good actor but not really a physically intimidating one.
They would have been better of with a guy like Dave Bautista,if he was carrying Lucille you would already be believing he was going to bash some skulls in with it.
So my problem is now Neegan just comes off like another governor type villain.
Anyway just my two cents.

Even Jeffrey Dean Morgan aka Negan said it was too much...

I don't know. That whole "get my axe" part was really long and unnessary... And didn't even make logical sense. Rick was already broken before they got in the camper. It was annoying to sit thru.

You know what could have been amazing? If at the end of the season 6 finale, Negan bashes in Abrahams head, and then we're all relaxed going into season 7 thinking he's picked his target already, only to have him teach Glenn a lesson halfway thru the episode! It would have even been more shocking.

I found myself rooting for Negan. Is that bad?

Exactly. I was thinking they should have just leaked it was Abe and that way of word of Glen got out, they can point to the multi-hit so they shot of everyone...

...which did leak last year. They shot everyone being clubbed to death to some degree at the outside location, but then killed Abe, (and I think Glen), at an interior locale for composite. So at minimum, Abe was a later-decision sacrifice.

The Verge but seems to be written by guys who didn't grow up on 80's horror. That's really what I found shocking; it was Nicotero going back to his KNB roots but on primetime cable! Really shows how far cable has devolved. And as someone who did watched it all, attended Fango cons etc...horror-gore has no place on open cable. It was never produced, ever, with mass audience consumption in mind.

The other problem is blaming Gimple. It's not him, it's Kirkman. Guy is pretty much an insensitive sociopath. He really does not care how people feel or that he's exposing an entire group of folks who would never watch gore movies to a condensed version. AMC is also very heavily responsible for the tease/protraction editing. They knew people would tune out after the first break if they saw Abe get killed.

Interesting article.... I like the slower episodes as well, but then you get people complaining about that too....

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...

Great article, but as much I want the more character driven episodes too, i don't think the latest show runners are up to the task. My favorite episodes from the early seasons were the so-called slow ones. Now the episodes that try to build characters are obvious and boring. I'm very much with the guys who wrote that in that I've slowly grown tired of the show's obvious manipulations and increasingly calculated nature.
