The Walking Dead: Season 7, Episode 1

The first episode of season seven in the AMC series, The Walking Dead was one of the most intense episodes that the show has seen.  I am an avid viewer of this series and have seen every episode that has ever been made so I can attest to this.  The wait is finally over!  We found out who Negan killed and it was more than just one person.  The suspense was absolutely killing me, but after nearly six months of waiting we found out that both Glen and Eugene were killed off the show.

I would like to discuss the way in which both of these characters were killed.  Although The Walking Dead is a series about zombies and there is a lot of killing, some would argue that it is not as graphic as you think it may be.  That perception quickly changed for some people after viewing this episode.  Negan took a baseball bat wrapped in barb wire and crushed the two men's skulls in until their heads disappeared.  This was very graphic and left many viewers disgusted and gut wrenched.  When they show Glen after he is hit for the first time, his right eye is popping out of his skull.  The entire time I was watching this I was wondering why the director set it up this way.  Overall, the first episode of season seven in The Walking Dead was one for the books.
