With the highly anticipated Season 7 premiere of ‘The Walking Dead,’ the online community is in a state of emotional turmoil. After a grueling five-month wait, fans were thrust into a whirlwind of feelings just twenty minutes into the episode as the identity of Negan’s victim became clear. The aftermath has left me utterly overwhelmed, so let’s dissect the emotional rollercoaster we experienced last night.
To be honest, I usually enjoy binge-watching ‘The Walking Dead’ commercial-free on platforms like Netflix, which unfortunately means I’m often a season behind. But the suspense surrounding Negan’s choice was too much to resist. Just five minutes before the show kicked off, my anxiety hit an all-time high.
The first twenty minutes are a blur for me, as I was completely shaken by the events unfolding on screen. Negan’s sadistic game of “eenie, meanie, miney, moe” culminated in a brutal attack on Abraham, who defiantly told Negan to “suck my nuts” before meeting his gruesome end. For a brief moment, I thought Glenn might have been spared, which was my true hope.
As Rick stood there, drenched in Abraham’s blood, Negan taunted Rosita, demanding she look at Lucille, his weapon of choice. When she refused, Daryl, in a moment of defiance, punched Negan. In that instant, I sought solace by scrolling through kitten gifs on Twitter, desperately trying to cope with the unfolding horror.
Flashbacks revealed the devastating impact of Abraham and Glenn’s deaths through Rick’s eyes as he found himself surrounded by zombies while Negan continued his mind games. Despite being a monstrous villain, I can’t help but acknowledge Negan’s allure—his scruff, dimples, and leather jacket create an internal conflict for me as I await his inevitable downfall.
The premiere served as a crushing blow to Rick’s hopeful existence. With the loss of a soon-to-be father and another man who had begun to see the light of parenthood, Rick and his group were left to grapple with despair. Sensing Rick’s resolve, Negan pulled Carl into the mix, presenting Rick with a horrific choice: sever his son’s arm to save the group or watch everyone perish. This shocking moment almost led Rick to commit an unimaginable act of violence, only for Negan to intervene.
As Negan and his crew departed, Rick and his group were left to mourn. Maggie wanted to retaliate, but Rick was paralyzed by grief. The episode concluded with a haunting vision of what could have been—a serene dinner scene with Glenn at the table, a baby in his lap, highlighting the stark contrast to their current reality.
