The Walking Dead - The Day Will Come When You Won't Be

The Day Will Come When You Won't Be is the title of the seventh season premiere. Overall, this was a pretty tense episode. And yes, I know the episode aired on Sunday night. Now, I am definitely going to be spoiling the hell out of this episode. If you haven't seen it yet, stop reading here. For everyone else, let's get going. The episode opens right after Negan has done the deed. He proceeds to drag Rick off into his trailer. They reveal the big moments through flashbacks. Negan proceeds to drive Rick towards a walker-infested area, tosses Rick's hatchet out of the trailer, and forces Rick to go get it. We also get to see the world's most terrifying game of "Eeny Meeny Miney Moe" ever. Some subtle hints and red herrings are thrown in that made wonder exactly who it was Negan killed. Ultimately, the person Negan designated as being "it" was Abraham. Abraham did have some of the best last words ever written for anything, ever. "Suck my nuts!" he mumbles before Negan finishes bashing his head in. Where things really get hard is when Daryl gets up and decks Negan out of anger. Negan feels as though he has to remind Rick and his group about the first one was free. But, if anyone were to try anything afterwards, he would "shut that shit down immediately." Before the audience really gets a moment to breathe, Negan proceeds to beat Glenn over the head. What we see of a barely still alive Glenn is pretty fucking gruesome as is. The sad moment is his gurgling out "Maggie, I'll find you" before being finished off by Negan. Back in real time, Negan brings Rick back to the group. Negan finally manages to break Rick when he tells him to cut off Carl's arm. Negan stops Rick just short, knowing he has broken Rick. We also see a little different side to Maggie. She has reached the point where, despite being sick, all she has left is her unborn baby. She has just lost Glenn, and is officially out for blood. So, this may just be about as perfect of a season premiere as it possibly could be. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is perfectly cast as Negan. The tension is the best in this episode as I think it's been in a while. I can't wait to see what's coming this season.
