S07.E01: The Day Will Come When You Won't Be – Pre-Air Speculation and Live Chat

[Armchair Critic]

Rick is too popular, he is not going to die and Carl either. But I don't want to see them maimed. YIKES

[Irishmaple]

I am not okay with this at all.

[Straycat80]

Oh hell no! Officially jumped the shark show! 

[calliope1975]

Is Negan a bad guy? I'm just not quite sure what TIIC are trying to tell me. /rolllseyes

[mustbekarma]

Are you fucking kidding me? Seriously kidding me? Rick would cut his own hand off before he did that to Carl.

[Boofish]

He gone be sorry he fucked with that hat. Big mistake assholes. Big mistake 

[Armchair Critic]

Why did Mad Men have to end? ;)

[Rosiejuliemom]

JDM is a good fit for the role, but I really want him to stop talking.

[catrox14]

Pick up the axe and put it in his CROTCH already!!!

[chick binewski]

OMG WE GET IT. Physical and psychological domination.

The prison rape episode of Outlander thinks this episode of TWD is in bad taste.

[mightysparrow]

Five seconds of Danai has been better than all of this 'acting' by both JDM and AL. 

GIMPLE, YOU WILL NEVER GET AN EMMY.

[TDT]

I think its safe to assume that Jefferey Dean Morgan will be getting a ton of hate mail after this episode..

[EllenC]

Carl is going to F you up Mr. Stupid Tiny Jacket.

[Armchair Critic]

Shit I hate to see them broken by this asshat.

[Bryce Lynch]

Neagan is insufferably boring.  So boring he makes everyone around him so boring that I no longer care about any of the characters.  Cut off his arm, don't cut it off.  Kill em all, don't kill em all.  In fact, at this point I'd  prefer Neagan just kill them all and put the show out of its misery.

[placate]

Oh man, Aiden from Being Human UK is the star of Poldark.  I'll have to binge the show and get a new Sunday show.  Negan is a great character in the comics and JDM is a great actor but this definitely doesn't translate to good television.

[Peanut]

Not that I have any plans to watch beyond tonight's episode (unless there is a Carol and Morgan-centric episode), but I hope it's Carl who kills Negan.

I guess this is how Negan really breaks Rick?

Yup.

[natyxg]

I'm not watching but judging by what I'm reading I don't think I will watch, at least not live. I'll catch it all on Netflix later. It sounds like Negan will be as insufferable as I feared and that's too hard to endure live week after week. No, thanks, not interested in annoying villains who never shut their damn mouth.

[wait.what]

Carl is a bad ass. "dad, just do it."

[CouchTater]

Why can't they high-tail it out of town at the earliest convenience?  I wonder if negen  keeps hostages yo ensure compliance.

FUCK YOU BITCH FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER

NOT GOOD AT ALL

[mustbekarma]

The only look I want to see is the one on Negan's face when he dies. Things have changed. Fuck that. I'm not watching this show.

[Boofish]

I seriously need to know where you find that many assholes. Watching him break Rick and Michonne is the most heartbreak thing tonight. Damn

[catrox14]

Negan. You think you have Rick and you might for a hot minute. But he is going to destroy you.

I fucking hate this shit.

[calliope1975]

Just now, wait.what said:

Carl is a bad ass. "dad, just do it."

He wanted him to stop talking, too.

Yeah, I can't sit through another episode with this dude. 

[Rosiejuliemom]

You can keep him, Negan.

[MichaelaRae]

I'm going to need therapy now.

[EllenC]

So lucky that no walkers have wandered up

[Irishmaple]

I seriously don't think I can watch a season of Negan. 

[Reghan]

Leave Daryl and run FAR FAR AWAY

[Ms Lark]

They can pat themselves on the back for this week's ratings, but just wait 'til next Sunday. Mass freakin' exodus!

[AimingforYoko]

It's going to be bad for a while, but this too shall pass.

[Glaze Crazy]

Wow, and they get to keep Daryl too?

[Haleth]

Negan can't die soon enough. This better be worth it. 

[minamurray78]

I cant believe I ever complained about the governor. He was cartoony, but this guy is irritating.

I want him dead just so that I can't stop listening to him.

 Or Rick could just lunge and tear the femoral artery with his teeth.  (Eugene did an excellent job of latching onto that blond dude's junk.)

I was really hoping that somehow Carol could keep this from happening....

At this point, I am tempted not to watch until after the mid-season finale, just so I can get my suffering over on a single day, rather than drag it out for two months. Damn Kirkman & Gimple!

[Enigma X]

Yeah. Are the Walkers in the background chomping on popcorn? Did Negan bore them to a second death? Again...BAD WRITING!

[cincivic]

Negan needs to shut up. JDM is a good actor but not good enough to make Negan appealing with all the monologues.

[NorthstarATL]

I DO want to see how they bring him down, because otherwise there was no point. BUT I still don't see the bloody point. Abraham and Glenn had nothing really to do with Negan. Breaking Rick is too meta. It doesn't mean the same thing to the characters as it does to the viewers.

[nichelle]

I think I'm out for the season. I was a DVR viewer who usually watched the episodes the next day. After tonight, I don't feel interested enough to do that anymore.

[kayma]

I just turned it off and didn't even make it much past the halfway point. Nothing redeeming about this version of the show for me. I like these characters. I don't want to see them needless killed and tortured while some guy who talks too much and isn't all that impressive breaks down my heroes. Maybe, I'll come back when I hear negan's dead. To think I was so excited all weekend for this.

[Haleth]

Shut up, Hardwick. 

[econ07]

I was gonna boycott the sponsors of this show, but then saw it was Windows.  So Sophie's Choice for me and Rick.

[Red Fields]

Hardwick is already insufferable.

Blame Kirkman, this is all him.

[calliope1975]

Oh Hardwick, no. You can't turn this around.

[Rosiejuliemom]

Wow, so Michael Cudlitz and Steven Yeun don't even get their own Talking Dead?
