Then our heroes rang the doorbell post-apocalypse style - with a kind of 201-gun salute. The first explosion drew away from the Sanctuary Negan’s attack dogs (one of whom radioed that she was hungry for some “bang-bang, scream-scream”). What could possibly go wrong, right? Though the walkers were a smidgen late - they’ve never been known for their punctuality, have they? - the plan started off fine. So what, exactly, was the plan of attack? Leaving a recuperating Michonne to safeguard Alexandria with Carl, Rick would help Daryl and Morgan dispatch the Saviors’ lookouts, then lead right up Negan’s driveway a battalion on wheels - now equipped with shields that the B-52’s might have called “tin roofs, rusted.” Meanwhile, Carol and Tara, it seemed, were to rig explosives along a path to the Sanctuary for Daryl to blow up at go time, using the blasts to direct a horde of walkers to the Saviors’ compound. Only Rick had not made it all about himself but about all of them. Then again, the preacher replied, the righteous revolt against that one man had been brought about by a single individual, too. “They say you can wage war through the second trimester,” she joked before thanking Rick for showing her “how to be someone worth following.” Talking with Gabriel, Rick marveled at all of the bloodshed that had been brought about by one man. If only the teenager could have stayed as focused as Maggie, who was determined to be a part of at least this first siege.
He was so eager to get to it, in fact, that when Carl, out siphoning gas, happened upon a scared-silly stranger (given his mention of the Koran, presumably Abbud), Rick ticked off his son by firing warning shots to get rid of him and get on with it. Here, ladies and gentlemen, is the first Walking Dead character that will haunt your nightmares.‘THIS IS THE END OF IT’ | As “Mercy” began, we were shown not only a teary-eyed Rick but also the grizzled-old-man Rick of the Season 8 trailer - aside from the cane, he seemed fine, by the way, unkempt but happily cohabiting with Michonne, Carl and Judith - and, last but not least, motivational-speaker Rick, the one who promised Alexandria’s allies as they prepared to strike back at the Saviors that only a single person had to die in the skirmish. How do we know this? Because we see him do so - and it is devastating.
He will pounce on anyone at anytime with zero display of mercy. West) - Negan is a malevolent foe to be feared. Forget David Morrissey's eye-patched Governor or the cannibalistic Gareth (Andrew J.
Negan has long been branded a 'game-changer' for the AMC series, and the writers have certainly made sure he's altering things in ways you least expect.
Season 7’s opening episode is a noble lesson in dedication - less a premiere episode, more a statement of intent. If all this sounds too bleak to enjoy, that’s because it is. The fact it's the most tortuous death scene since that of Hershel (Scott Wilson) in season 4 will keep you rooted to the spot. So visceral is this moment that it's tough not to stand up and applaud the ever-hardworking prosthetic team who make you believe the wonderful Steven Yeun’s bulbous eyeball is departing its socket. Having double bluffed viewers with Glenn's 'death' in season 6, they resign him to a fate almost constructed as second fiddle to that of Abe's main attraction, thus heightening the shock.
