‘Walking Dead’ Premiere Recap: Negan’s a Real Jerk

The Season 7 premiere of The Walking Dead finally revealed who Negan killed with his bat, Lucille, at the end of Season 6. Abraham was the unlucky member of Rick’s team to lose his head, but at least he was stubborn, even in the face of death, refusing to go down until he had made sure Negan knew how he felt, saying, “Suck my nuts.”

Daryl was so upset by Abraham’s death that he punched Negan in the face. This was a big mistake because there were clear instructions not to talk or punch Negan in the face. So Negan took it out on Glenn, smashing his head in too.

Before dying, but after having his eye pop out of his head, Glenn told pregnant Maggie, “I’ll find you.” Then his head was beaten into a bloody pulp.

Rick was furious and promised to kill Negan. To gain control, Negan ordered Rick to chop off his son Carl’s arm, or else he would kill everyone. After a little encouragement from Carl, Rick attempted to do the chopping, but thankfully Negan stopped him.

Negan took Daryl as a souvenir of the adventurous day and told Rick’s people that he would be back in a week to collect their offerings. And the gang was left with two headless friends and no hope for a pleasant future.

The Walking Dead airs Sunday nights at 9:00 p.m./8:00 p.m. CT on AMC.
