The Season 6 finale of AMC’s The Walking Dead saw Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) utter the children’s counting rhyme “Eeeny Meeny Miny Moe” to make his selection from the lineup of Walking Dead main characters. Then, in the Season 7 premiere, he bludgeoned Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) to death when the rhyme had ended and his selection was made.
