See last nights episode actually redeemed it for me. I got tired of it during the end of season 5/beginning season 6. It pulled me back in during the mid season finale of season 6 and I decided to re-watch.

I was super pissed when it was Abraham. Not gonna lie. I was like no, I did not wait 6 months for this really. I like him and all but I was like they're taking the easy way out... killing him and not a main character... then wham... the Glenn thing threw me off completely! The way he just swung it and BAM! I don't know. I had a sneaking suspicion it would be Glenn at first but after Abraham was killed I thought he was safe and was not prepared for another death.

I'm not going to lie last night was the first episode I actually cried in. I legit thought they were ALL dead after Ricks flashback thing he did where they all got hit with the bat. I thought Negan was really going to own Rick at that point and I had a mini heart attack!!! Lol. I've never been into the show. I was almost shaking I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Anyway I thought Andrew Lincoln deserves an Emmy award for that performance. Fantastic emotion he displayed. I felt sick to my stomach. And for a show/episode to affect me that much? I'm hoping it's going in a different direction with The Kingdom, etc, so I have faith. As sad it was, I felt it was a needed change of direction & pace.

I'm anxious to see what Carol & Morgan are up to with these new people.

My only hesitation is if the tiger thing is going to work. It's obviously a CGI tiger and I'm not sure if it's going to get too cheesy for me. As the seasons have progressed, it's obviously gotten more 'comic book-y' (and yes I realize it's a comic book). But in the beginning it was so real and human-like... and now it's just turned... like it's not the real world anymore. I mean... yes could someone like Negan exist? In a post-apocalyptic world? Yeah, but it does seem a bit far fetched. I used to think the Governor was far fetched sooo... I guess I've just come to terms that it's going to be like this from here on out and I take it for what it is. A series based off comic books.

OMG!!!!!!! The fact you said "sad" is really freaking me out! This means it's a character we're very sympathetic toward, I think. Oh lordie. The anticipation!

Btw, I have a question -- when you work on a series like you do, do you still actually watch it later? Or is it sorta ruined for you since you saw it being filmed? I always have wondered what it's like to be a part of making a show/film, and then watching it after.
