Walking Dead Season 7 Discussion - Spoilers possible!

That's probably how such a fight would go down though given very few of the survivors appear to be trained military.

That's exactly what I was thinking.. There's a big difference between stabbing/shooting a wall of walkers trudging toward you and then fighting a pitched battle against humans who are shooting back and ducking for cover. Yes, these people have had to fight hard to just scrape by these last few years and most of them have become proficient with weapons.. But they are still basically just "folks".. Not military trained (for the most part) or former members of law enforcement (besides Rick).. For all we know, Negan was an office manager for a small paper company in Scranton.

Assistant to the office manager of a small paper company in Scranton.

^That's clearly photoshopped. But it does bring up a good question. What was that grey-ish carbine that Daryl picked up and started using about half way through the gunfight?

It's a Seekins Precision custom AR-15 with the flash suppressor removed and the barrel cut down so that it's hidden within the triangular foregrip. As far as the magazine capacity, it looks like a standard 30-round mag, but Daryl's obviously turned on God Mode and gotten the Herschel's Infinite Shotgun ammo upgrade.

Have people seen this btw?

The actors who play Enid, Jadis, and Simon have been upgraded to series regulars for season 8. (Katelyn Nacon, Pollyanna McIntosh, and Steven Ogg)

Of course, series regulars can be killed off in the first episode on this show, so this guarantees nothing.

I'm so way, way late to this but chiming in for a post.
This has been sitting in the DVR and I just finished the back 1/2 of season 7. TWD for me hasn't been appointment viewing television for a few seasons. So little happens per episode that it's better to binge, that and with the various groups it may be a few episodes before you revisit a storyline for a group/character.

The show is very cyclical, one could argue many are because they parallel life in some ways but I digress. The show is still produced, scripted and acted really well but how much more of this can there be? Hershel's Farm, the Prison(Woodbury), Terminus and Alexandria all are the same concept just different location with a new bad guy. How far north do you really want to travel? Have we actually seen a winter on this show, I can't recall that we have cause so much was in/around Atlanta where you really only get a few bad days of snow or ice and temps are just cold not sever like say a Boston.

My guess is like the Governor, Neegan will be neutered as a main primary threat or killed and our band will move on. The structure of the show dictates it must. Do we think with Neegan gone that the Hilltop, Kingdom and Alexandria will just co-exist in a new world order in/around the DC area? That's not very dramatic to watch, nice to end on but not worth DVR'ing at that point.

Ok, that actually got me excited again.

I sense misdirection with that shot of "hospital Rick".Fans are already thinking "hospital Rick" is the Dallas TV series business all over again-, where the series was just part of Rick's dreams while in a coma from the pilot.

Looks sort of like "old" Rick, with the grey receeding hair and a cane.

It would be both infuriating and hilarious to me if Rick has been in a coma for the entire run of the series. Extra points if the hospital is inside a snowglobe.

No way its an "it was all a dream" that'd a series-ending event nor would they put something like that in the trailer. It's either the time-jump or a dream/fantasy episode with Rick and there being no apocalypse.

You heard it here: this whole season is going to be stretched out and the last scene will be hospital Rick waking up with no lead-up or context and we'll be stuck waiting a whole damn year to figure out what's going on.

But it would explain a lot of the dumbass decisions and actions made by the main characters

I'm imagining Rick waking up and pointing to his deputies, one's the Governor, one's Negan, Gareth and one is Glenn. "And you and you and you and YOU were there!"

Overall, the trailer looked boring as piss and, as stated above, the hospital Rick thing will be thrown in at the last minute to troll fans for the summer.

I decided to switch over from the last season of The 100, to this and wow these first two episodes were very different and I enjoyed them both.
I saw a lot of pretty bad stuff about the first episode and I can definitely see why people reacted the way they did. It was a nasty, brutal episode with two really gory, nasty deaths, but I think that was the whole point of the episode. After everything they'd been through up to this point, something this brutal and nasty was pretty much the only way Negan was going to be able to break Rick. The episodes biggest saving grace was the awesome performances by the whole cast, with Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Andrew Lincoln especially giving outstanding performances. I don't think this episode would have worked anywhere near as well without them. I knew about Glenn's death so it wasn't a shock, but Abraham's was.
The second episode was great too, it was especially nice to get a somewhat calmer episode after the first one. The introduction of The Kingdom and Ezikiel was interesting, I especially liked the reveal of how/why Ezekiel is the way he is. I have to admit, I had thought he was just crazy, so the reveal that he knew exactly what he was doing and the conversation he had with Carol was a nice moment.
