My wife doesn't care for any scary/zombie/monster shows, so I normally watch the show on Friday's when I work from home. Knowing that a main character was going to die, I decided to go to another room, and watch it on Sunday night, . I knew people would be talking about it on Monday, and my viewing would likely be spoiled if I tried waiting until Friday.

I thought it was a great episode. It exceeded my expectations. I might watch it again on Friday. I really like the Negan character, and thought the part involving Coral was also quite intense.

It was a great episode. And what the soccer moms and high horse hipsters don't get is that it isn't "torture porn" (a term most of them didn't even know before the episode) when it generates an emotional, directed reaction...in fact, what most of these idiots don't get is that their extreme reactions is exactly what makes it NOT torture porn. If this had come out of the gate in episode 1, it would be torture porn. But they took 6 YEARS to build to that moment...of course people were supposed to have a visceral, emotional reaction...that's good storytelling (for a change). Now, if someone gets Lucilled in every episode all season, it will lose such effect. But for now, it completely rebooted the show, and did so in a way to keep people invested in the outcome. Honestly, I more or less knew what was going to happen, and still felt bad watching it. I had the same feeling as I did when Sofia came out of that barn.

It was a spectacular episode. My only true complaint is that the showrunners didn't just kill off Abraham in the season finale last year. You still could have had that shock value, emotional response in the season premiere with Glenn. And you wouldn't have had another instance of unnecessarily teasing the audience, like they did last year with Glenn.

Anyone getting upset by the violence just hasn't been paying attention.
It's a survival show about people trying to deal with the end of civilization.
In that it has been marvelous in it's telling individual stories about people trying to stay sane or not.
An achievement none the less. Way beyond a comic book!

Hadn't thought of that but excellent point. And I think the second death would have been even more shocking if they did it that way because your expecting everyone to just go back to Alexandria after one death.

I spent most of the last episode reading Buckeye post-game articles on my phone. Something about Carol and Morgan (yawn, just fcuk and get it over with) and a Rasta-man delivering lines like a high school thespian with a tiger. Was it as boring as it seemed?

It was an episode to set stuff up. Rasta man was more complicated than he seemed, much like Carol. It was a character development episode, which I don't have a problem with as long as it goes somewhere.

Well the first 45 minutes of that sucked chocolate salty balls. The exposition at the end saved it some, but I thought the construction of this episode was garbage, especially the first 5 minutes.
