I knew what was going to happen and it was still hard to watch. I'm not like you guys. I'm glad I didn't have to watch it cold turkey. The script summary on YouTube was dead on.
I'm the type of person that doesn't like to know until it's time to know. I mean, that's why they call them spoilers..... right? They spoil the intended surprise.
Here's some of my thought's watching this episode not in the know.....
Sure, we all knew that Glenn was going to be killed by Negan..... Or did we? It was completely impossible to stay away from the reports that Glenn was to be his victim then poor Abraham takes Lucille to the head. Not being in the know cause me to then think Glenn just survived another rumor. Then comes Daryl. He takes a swing @ Negan and Negan responds by taking a 'walk off' swing to the forehead of Glenn. And by the way, props to Glenn for being able to take that hit and remain somewhat upright, for a short time anyway.
Daryl, man, he's gotta live with the consequences of taking that shot a Negan. That is going to be a tough one to live with.
Carl, I was so waiting on Rick to take that swing to sever that arm. How bout' Negan's description..... Something to the effect of 'Make sure you do it at a 45 so we've got something to fold back over. Sounds like he's done this before.
Maggie, holy crap. Not sure how's she's going to survive this.
Michonne, I wish she had been waiting somewhere to save the day with that sword of hers.
Sasha, damn, things were looking promising for you and Abraham. All changes in a hurry.
Rosita, looses Abraham not once but twice.
Eugene, finally gets props from Abraham and has earned a true friend. That's gone.
And Rick..... What could be said. That guy is broken. For now.
Overall an excellent episode and one that is imprinted in the memory banks for good. I went to bed not feeling very well last night. Not many fictitious shows will do that to you.
