By introducing his brutality in the premiere, every scene he appears in now has a horrifying tension to it. And that’s the beauty of Negan as a character. When Negan shows up at Alexandria, his presence telegraphed by the unmistakable silhouette of a baseball bat, viewers are conditioned to expect the worst. Luckily, last night’s episode “Service” had a few key moments that offered a glimpse of where we’re headed, and it’s looking brighter. TWD is at its worst when it reminds us that its 16-episode seasons run six hours too long. That after all he’s been through, Rick has now resigned himself, his family, and his friends to forever live as the hostages of a tyrant with a well-armed militia keeping a gun to their heads.īut we don’t need that beat into us with another 45 minutes of wheel spinning and Jeffrey Dean Morgan one-liners. We’re supposed to believe that Rick’s situation is hopeless. This is a crucial time for season seven, and it’s when The Walking Dead’s post-premiere rebound could start to fall apart. But now the focus is back on the critical power play between Rick and Negan, with Alexandria beholden to The Saviors and forced to pay tribute every week - or face a public execution. The past two episodes have offered a refreshing and much-needed break, with standalone stories and a focus on the broader narrative with Carol in The Kingdom and Daryl in captivity.
Welcome to The Walking Dead Redemption Club.Īt long last, The Walking Dead finds itself back in Alexandria. But every week, Nick will be seeking out things that remind us of the very best of The Walking Dead - the moments that might just give viewers a reason to come back. It might be a subtle change in character, a great action scene, or a new development in a narrative arc. Instead of tearing the show down, w e’ll be finding something to highlight. Now, Nick Statt is trying to change his mind.
#THE WALKING DEAD SEASON 7 EPISODE 3 SUMMARY SERIES#
So far that we canceled our ongoing series The Walking Dead Quitter’s Club, with co-author Bryan Bishop swearing off the show entirely. AMC’s The Walking Dead has an uncanny knack for manipulating its audience, but this year’s hyper-violent season premiere went too far.
