The Season 7 premiere of The Walking Dead aired last night, and the emotional aftermath has taken over the internet. After a five-month wait, viewers were finally introduced to the grim fate of one of the beloved characters at the hands of Negan and his infamous bat, Lucille. Let’s dive into the whirlwind of emotions that followed.
To be honest, I usually prefer binge-watching The Walking Dead commercial-free on Netflix, which means I’m often a season behind. But with so much buzz around Negan’s deadly choice, I had to see it live—despite my anxiety hitting a Kermit level five minutes before the episode began. I barely absorbed the first twenty minutes as I braced myself for the inevitable.
Negan’s sadistic game of “eenie, meenie, miney, moe” culminated in a shocking scene where Abraham’s fate was sealed with a brutal blow, all while he defiantly told Negan to “suck my nuts.” I felt a moment of twisted relief, as my true concern was the fate of Glenn. Just when I thought he might be spared, Negan turned the tension up to eleven.
With Rick covered in Abraham’s blood, Negan threatened Rosita with Lucille, coaxing her to look at the bat. In a moment of sheer desperation, Daryl lashed out, landing a punch on Negan, which only escalated the situation. As the clock ticked down, I found myself searching for cute kitten gifs on Twitter—a small act of self-preservation amidst the chaos.
The aftermath of the deaths was depicted through flashbacks seen from Rick’s perspective while he faced a horde of zombies. Negan, with his blend of charm and cruelty, managed to capture Rick’s hope and drive. He even toyed with Rick by threatening Carl, presenting him with a horrifying choice: sacrifice his son or lose everyone else.
Negan’s reign of terror left Rick’s group grappling with despair, with Maggie desiring to fight back while Rick seemed resigned to their grim reality. The episode concluded with a haunting vision of what could have been—a peaceful dinner scene with Glenn at the head of the table, suggesting that even in the face of horror, hope still flickers.
