I've had a love/hate relationship with Walking these past 2 seasons. I think I posted before I kind of stopped watching during season 5. I just got annoyed with the filler episodes that I got bored watching, wasn't heavily invested in the characters anymore, etc. After re-watching the entire series, my love for it was rekindled, albeit I did skip through a few episodes which is the benefit to watching it in binge-fashion (i.e. the episode that featured Beth in the hospital... the ENTIRE episode...)

And I got extremely excited when I watched the mid-season premiere of season 6 and how good it was. I had a lot of faith that it was getting better again! And honestly, I still do. I think it was a crap move not to show us who died because by the time October rolls around, I don't think it's going to effect me as much. AND if they pick a lame character that's not that important like Aaron to kill off; I'll be pissed. As much as we all want our favorites to live, you don't leave us hanging for 7 months only to reveal a minor character death that doesn't hit us very hard. Honestly I've grown to love Eugene and Abraham but I still don't think their deaths would matter AS much to the hardcore fan-base. And if it's Glenn, we're all prepared for that now with all the rumors and speculations, so I won't be surprised at all when/if it happens.

I don't even mind the cliffhanger so much as it was just kind of a boring episode, not finale material. The last 15 mins were the only time my heart was pounding. I do think they picked the right actor for Negan and I am curious to see how this plays out. I think season 7 has some really really good potential so I'm definitely going to be tuning in week after week unless it just becomes intolerable.

Although, when Rick first realized he was captured and on his knees and there basically nothing he could do... OMG that LOOK on his face... was heartbreaking. To see our leader so distraught was heart-wrenching. Wonderful acting by Andrew Lincoln there.
