But we will never know cause they attacked first, and know they are reaping what the sow. They got way too big for their breeches.

Saviors attacked Daryl, Sasha, and Abe on the road first. The saviors were thugs and the apocalypse mafia already, they had it coming.

Saviors always start off with killing one person. So that they get the message off the bat! Hilltop didn’t attack them first. But still lost a young kid. Their only mistake is assuming one place was all there was. They should have gotten organized and took them all out otherwise what’s the point 🤷🏾‍♂️😂😂👍🏾

[@maddielkaye]

The writers wanted us (the audience) to be traumatized. They worked with a psychologist who specializes in PTSD while doing the writing. The point they make here (and with the rest of the season) is that when you go through it, when you’re close to the traumatizing situation, you NEVER know what you’d do. Not until you’re in it.

The first time I saw Glenn on screen, I remember my 9 year old self pointing at the screen and saying he's my favorite. And since then, he's been my favorite. I waited a whole year for season 7, anxiously, and seeing Glenn die like that, not only in a cruel way but seeing Negan LAUGHING and MOCKING him while he fought for his life, ruined it for me, every time I see that scene even after all these years, I still cry. And also because of the fact that Glenn saved Rick in the beginning, and he couldn't save him now, and the fact that if Daryl hadn't punched Negan maybe Glenn could be alive... this episode is definitely what the walking is. dead, great reaction.

Andrew undeniably deserved huge awards after his performances in TWD, especially for this particular episode. The main reason Negan is such an intimidating villain, is because of Andrew. His insanely amazing performance as Rick was what made Negan a believable, real threat. Andrew showed a huge range of emotions, sometimes just with his eyes. He deserves so much more attention and love than what he got, it genuinely depresses me sometimes at how overlooked he is 😞

[@rhetoricalmode1917]

There is no deal-making with Negan and the Saviors. Alexandria was on the Saviors' radar. We see this when Carol was acosted by the Saviors on the road. They were on their way to Alexandria.

[@Arte822]

On the way to Alexandria doesn't mean on the way to kill Glenn and Abraham. Negan can be negotiated with. Saviors had an ongoing deal with The Kingdom that was being honored as negotiated, a deal which still allowed Ezekiel to continue leading The Kingdom and didn't involve turning it into a Savior outpost or anything like that. Rick drew first blood against Negan before they could even meet each other or make any deal between the communities. This would only make Negan assume that Rick can't be negotiated with and would need to be brought to heel.

[@rhetoricalmode1917]

@Alwaysmantis yeah, tell that to Oceanside. Btw, where are their boys and men? And tell that to The Kingdom when they're ONE item short. And the icky trash people. What happened to them? Negan's system did NOT "save" them; rather, it oppressed them (even his "wives"). Under Negan's leadership, the vulnerable were supressed, and bullies thrived. With Negan, people are not saved; they die. Each community has the right to self-determination. Bottom line, Negan was wrong.

[@korivex742]

This is what Negan does to communities, Hilltop, Oceanside, that library (where the guy with the A sprayed on his chest was from) and I can say the Kingdom since you are a season ahead. It would not have mattered if Alexandria attacked or not... it would have happened. This wasn't revenge for Negan, this is how he owns ALL the communities. So for them to want to take the saviors out first was the right plan, the arrangement with Hilltop was right, they just didn't investigated the Saviors enough.

[@RJones2016]

Exactly 💯. He’s a Tyrant.

[@rhetoricalmode1917]

It wasn't because of his people getting killed or he would have just killed Rick and co... it wasn't done out of revenge it was done to control the group and supply his people.

I firmly believe that 7x1 is the greatest piece of art in television history. "Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable" - Cesar A. Cruz

[@bgarmstrong1446]

Not sure if anyone mentioned it already but in the comics Glen was the only person Negan kills. Jeffery Dean does a great job and portraying the Negans character. His dialogue is close to the comic as well.

[@RJones2016]

They would have come for the group regardless. They already knew where they were. The only thing that might have been different is who died. I don’t blame Rick’s group for trying to eliminate the threat but they should have done more research. I think they thought the outpost that they hit was where Negan was and that’s the only group he had. At this point there was no winning against Negan whether they hit the outpost or not. The group got sloppy but facing Negan was inevitable.

[@JRMAV1]

You got it right, so many Negan “defenders” say that Rick “started” it by attacking first (even though the bikers started it with Sasha, Abe, and Daryl), but you’re right, the Saviors were inevitable, and needed to be dealt with, but they weren’t ready.

This is why it bothers me so much. I don't understand why the guy in the orange and I'm sorry if I don't know your name talking like what Rick and them did for food was a bad idea. The group attacked them two times before they met with hilltop they just didn't know who the group was. The plan was to not only get food that they desperately needed otherwise they would have died slowly of starvation, But to attack the group that attacked them first and strike them first before they would have became a bigger problem. The only problem is they did not fully know who negan was. They didn't know how big the group was. every plan has a risk you either don't do it and starve or you do do it and risk a war against the group you don't know nothing about, but you do know they attacked you twice before and they're willing to kill you come to your home and take whatever they want.

[@WhatMyr]

48:32 you’re falling into a trap that a lot of fans did. Negan is not the good guy. This wasn’t pay back for an attack. It was payback for payback. The saviors meet a new group.

Comic Comparisons : In the comics the group goes to Hilltop for sole purpose of getting Maggie Glenn and Sophia (she is still alive at this point in the comics Glenn and Maggie took care of her after Carol committed suicide) After Dwight’s attack on Alexandria Glenn and Maggie agreed Hilltop would be a safer place for both them and Sophia and the group decides to escort them There’s no pregnancy complication. The roadblocks don’t happen in the comics The group stops for the night and that’s when The Saviors grab them There’s no kidnapping other members or putting their belongings on display Eugene doesn’t try to cause a distraction. Morgan and Carol’s whatever it was doesn’t happen in the comics because neither of them are alive at this point. Negan’s entrance in the show is damn near for line as in the comics save for in the comics Negan uses a considerable amount of F-Bombs and various other curses which you can hear on the Blu Ray DVD and it’s the uncensored version The eeny-meeny-miney-moe is one of the most iconic scene in TWD history This episode is damn near flawless and this arc is gonna bring the best one liners and badass moments of the entire show.

It also happened in a milestone issue,#100,and the previous issues dealing to it kept teasing something big happening with close ups of saviors holding different weapons,including the chainsaw dude, which was also included in the show except he appears briefly in the background,the arc was called "something to fear",the lineup was also different,mainly because of Heath and Sophia,Maggie also fights Rick right after Negan leaves,for not doing anything to prevent Glenns death and Carl threatens to shoot her. Comic was wild.

[@conorm211]

Fun fact: They filmed deaths for every person in the lineup to avoid spoilers/leaks

[@SunJade-vr6nj]

I never really blamed Daryl for Glenn’s death because he acted out after Negan was shouting at Rosita to look at the bat right after he butchered Abraham. Daryl just did it out of defense for someone he cared about

[@kimberlywilmoth9184]

Guys, you've gotta remember something...in the episode where Denise dies, she said to Daryl and Rosita that she was gonna go no matter what, so they did the right thing by going with her.

[@sunnygrl027]

Trying to eliminate the Saviors was exactly the right plan, because they were gonna come for them regardless. Even if they'd scouted, done more research, whatever, this would've been the outcome. Yeah, Negan said he was gonna beat the holy hell outta one of them for killing all his men, but that's just to make him look like the victim. The group of bikers that stopped Daryl, Abe, and Sasha on the road? The leader made it clear that they usually kill one of them. When Dwight stopped Daryl, Rosita, and Denise on the tracks? He said the same thing. They were gonna go with them to Alexandria, kill one of them, then take what they wanted. The guys that stopped Carol on the road? They already knew where Alexandria was, they were on their way there. Negan introduces himself to communities with fear and violence, that's how he gets them to fall in line and stay in line. Was the food worth it? I mean, they had something to eat but this was gonna happen anyway. I usually agree with Ilias (sorry if I spelled it wrong), but at this point it seems like you're making your "was the food worth it" argument just to be right. Right or wrong, we're where we were gonna be anyway.

[@patriciaramirez2982]

100% this was gonna happen wether they helped the hilltop or they didn't, remember Abraham, daryl and Sasha ran into some saviors back when the horde thing happened, Alexandria has been on their radar since then cause they merked like 10 of them, I do think though that maybe it wouldn't have been as bad as this cause by now they've killed like 40 saviors

[@mrsfahrenheit]

definitely one of the most graphic and realistic looking shit I've seen in a tv show. But THAT is how you introduce an anatagonist, holy shit. Both Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan) and Andrew Lincoln (Rick) deserved a grammy for their performance in those 2 episodess, the acting was peak level. And I agree with both of your sides .. it would've happened sooner or later anyways but they definitely should've done more research before fucking with them I mean that way they still might've had a chance of at least planning ahead, hiding food or weapons somewhere getting an idea of how many there are and training preparing the people somehow or something.. well to late for that now. And a lot of people might've mentioned it already but remember what Dr. Jenner from the CDC said to Rick in the finale of season 1 when he said he was grateful he opened the door to let them keep trying? He said „the day will come when you won't be“, just like 7x1 episode title👀 yikes..

@@mrsfahrenheit yes, it's hard to watch a movie without thinking, are they a child molester. So corrupt. But TWD has real genuine actors, not wanna be rich idiots. I met 17 actors from the show, real down to earth people

I skip these episodes when I rewatch the series. It hurts so bad. I'm trying to watch this whole video. I love watching your reactions.

[@hippielady123]

Me too! It's hard to watch

[@schristine159]

I remember watching this live back when I was in college, I couldn’t go to class the next day from the trauma 😂😂😂

[@JandiCandy]

Great reaction 👍 I was devastated while watching this episode. I always felt like Glenn was invincible..and the way he was killed so brutally, while his pregnant (and sick) wife watched.. 😩 😢 it still makes me sob

[@GigiJ2527]

Anywayz Nomads thanks for this double episode upload!!!!! Yak ya'll are my fave!! ❤

[@mariahDchavez1993]

Best villain of all time best reaction. I enjoyed your guys as reactions so much.

[@_Yombo]

Negan is a great villain, but definitely not the best of all time

[@TheTonyEntertainment]

who is for you? ​@@_Yombo

[@ChopOnBraves2025]

I agree! The Saviors would have eventually found Alexandria and taken over.

[@kinginamo000]

that cliffhanger seriously made everyone watching the series die inside back then, it was a lot of months waiting for october for twd to come back 😂

[@WHITEYY18LOVER]

All these years later and I still haven't forgiven Negan🤷‍♀️🤣The wait back then to find out who he killed was such a huge part of pop culture. It was everywhere!

[@cedricmoss1668]

Finally y’all see the heart breaking episode

[@ray24051]

You guys just don't know How traumatized people were back in the day when we first saw this on TV and how much we hated Negan!

Two of the best episodes of tv of all time

[@eddydelgado51]

This episode along with season 9 episode 15 were the most heartbreaking and emotional moments of this series.

[@melissagilby3959]

Thanks for the double upload! Looking forward to this one!

[@alamoja]

Basically they Negan people were coming for them. Every time they ran into them they legitimately were on their way to Alexandria.

[@agawd3364]

Ayyy, my boys uploaded🙏

[@tonypepperoni9954]

Negan was both the best and worst thing that ever happened to the walking dead. Many viewers reacted like Prophet and AJ where it was too hard for them to handle how evil of a villain he was and caused viewership to drop dramatically. Almost everytime i talk to someone about the walking dead they say "oh i watched that show until glen died"
