The Walking Dead Series 7 - No spoilers please.
Discussion
Well, that was f
king brutal.
No, the plot didn't move far - the time line barely shifted a few hours, but my heart was going full tilt for the whole things.
Whilst not much plot shifted, it serves as an important movment, without it we'd all be moaning about how "Rick just gives up for no reason". Negan broke him mentaly, to the point when he was going to cut his own son's arm off.
I for one am looking forward to when Rick or hopfully Daryl kills Negan.

Great episode. It had be quite tense, I sort of guessed that another may go just seconds before Glenn went.
And the lil foreshadowings of Rick's 'right hand'. I got quite tense at the end and had non idea if they were going to do it or not. In the end they didn't and I am glad.

O/T The actor who plays Negan reminds me of one of the actors who was in Everyone Loves Raymond, but they aren't one and the same..
He was in Fargo S2, and for a while I thought Jeff Morgan was in that. 
Morgan was a perfect Negan.
I thought Rick was going to do his own hand to be honest. Would've made a great revealing scene where you hear the slice and pan out to Rick's hand off rather than Carl's, with everyone else's horrific reactions and Negan's smile in the background.
And to everyone moaning about the gore, the comics go to depths that the show hasn't even scratched. This episode was horrific, but they did it brilliantly including the Carl's arm scene. Not making Rick do it was justified, Negan wants to show him what he can be made to do.

Indeed, I thought the worst bit was when Rick grabbed that walker's neck and what looked like guts came out.
What I wonder is, does Rick need to be taught a second lesson later in the series? I don't see Negan's being vanquished by the end of this series, I see him being as strong as ever, like Empire.

I thought that too. I was quite relieved when Negan let him off.What I wonder is, does Rick need to be taught a second lesson later in the series? I don't see Negan's being vanquished by the end of this series, I see him being as strong as ever, like Empire.

Quite ironic all the posters referring to 'gore' when you're watching a series where the majority of the cast are 'walking dead' plodding around with their faces, limbs, and flesh hanging off...!
Yeah, I have to laugh at the poster moaning about the gore. Guessing they didn’t see the episode where a woman got chained to a pipe and a Walker ripped her face off with his teeth…Imagine if the viewpoints were reversed. If a team of people led by Negan crept into the compound Rick and the gang were holed up in and murdered Daryl, Glenn, Abraham, Carl, Carol and Michonne in their sleep. Then when Rick and what's left of the gang captured Negan, Rick then picked two randoms - Dave and Jeff who we've never met before, and shot both of them in the head.

But I was thinking a bullet in the back of the head. f
k me this was way too far. I think i'll enjoy the change in direction. The walker deaths were getting old. This looks like it has arms and legs. I pray they don't have 3 "character development episodes" though.

Or at the prison they could've included the characters with two young girls and the depraved prisoner who brutally murdered and decapitated them. I guess Lucille to the head is too much.

It was brutal but not the worst I've seen. The series 5 Throat Slashing scene was for me off the scale, up there with the very worst of videos kicking around on the internet.
Can't remember that scene exactly, but when Rick bit open that guy's neck on the road when they had them surrounded was pretty grim too.Edited by Spanna on Tuesday 25th October 10:49

Over the trough in Terminus? Yeah that was pretty grim, certainly in the wider social context of Jihadi beheadings.Speed Badger said:

I did think that, they kind of had it coming! Glen stuck a knife through someones head while they were asleep. Agree.
The thing is the zombies aren't gory as they're so unhuman and there has been so many that we're desensitised.
What happened to Abraham and Glenn was properly gory.
Tense episode. Nothing really substantive just tense.
Kind of wish they went off the comics rather than align itself more and killed off the cast except for Rick. Would be interesting.
