Ranking Dead: Ranking the Characters of ‘The Walking Dead’ Season 7, Episode 3

Welcome back to Ranking Dead, where we give a power ranking of The Walking Dead’s characters after every episode and then tally up the points over the course of the season. This is how we’d rank the characters of Episode 3.

5) Sherry

Sherry is at Number Five. Maybe we weren’t too fond of her when last we met, but now she’s changed her tune and is intent on helping Daryl stay alive… at least long enough to get some more of those tasty dog food hoagies. Mmmmm, that’s good eatin’!

But wait, there was no character named Jim Bianco! You’re right. He’s the songwriter of “Easy Street,” your new favorite form of musical psychological torture. Sure, we never actually see Mr. Bianco or The Collapsable Hearts Club, who recorded the song, but this one had limited characters. Who could we pick? This guy? He’s already dead! Or Fat Joey? He couldn’t even lock a door! I HAVE TO YELL OVER THE SONG JUST TO BE HEARD, AND THAT’S WHY THE WRITER OF “EASY STREET” IS FOURTH!

3) Dwight

With the bronze medal is Dwight. He’s been beaten down into being Negan’s lap dog, but he’s still got a little bit of fight left in him. Be it guilt or a flicker of compassion, he wants Daryl to live alongside him in the splendor of the Sanctuary. And say what you will about the Saviors, but they have sandwiches so delicious they get their own montages.

2) Daryl

Daryl won’t go down without a fight. And that’s why he’s in second place this week. Negan and Dwight have found every possible way to break him mentally, physically and spiritually, but Daryl refuses to submit.

1) Negan

And that’s why Negan is Numero Uno. Does anyone drop to their knees when you walk by? No, I didn’t think so. He’s head honcho ‘round these parts, and no one is challenging that any time soon. Great.

Worst of the week is also Jim Bianco. We’re never going to get this stupid song out of our heads, oh no, there it is again! PLEASE MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!
