The Walking Dead Preview: A Slice of Season 7
The Walking Dead returned with a bang on Sunday night.
Or, to be more precise, The Walking Dead returned with a bat on Sunday night.
And that bat was slammed into the heads of two main characters, both of whom were killed off the show in very gruesome fashion.
Rest in peace, Abraham. And rest in peace, Glenn.
Both of these heroes lost their lives at the hands of Negan on The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 1, with the drama’s most frightening villain to date making it very clear that he’s in charge.
But don’t take our word it.
Take the word of Andrew Lincoln’s Rick Grimes.
“Let me put this to all of you as clearly as I can,” he says in the extended preview above. “I’m not in charge anymore. Negan is.”
Elsewhere in this trailer, we see Daryl getting shown the scary ropes of the Saviors’ territory by Dwight, as Negan makes another point clear:
“I don’t think you get it yet,” he says. “You work for me.”
Aside from the promo featured here, AMC also released a clip from next Sunday’s new installment, which is titled “The Well.”
It features Carol on the mend in the Kingdom with Morgan, who tells his friend of the Kingdom leader: “He does his own thing.”
“Uh, what does that mean?” she asks.
The Walking Dead Season 7 premiere has received some backlash for just how violent it was, setting a new standard even for a show who has violence to thank for its immense popularity.
Why did we need to see Glenn’s eyes pop out?
Why did the camera need to linger on his lifeless body in such a manner?
Explained director Greg Nicotero in a conference call with reporters today:
“It was important to launch us into this season by showing the extent of what Negan is capable of doing, because that drives so much of where the series is going from here on in.”
Moreover, to him Nicotero seeing Rick, “our hero, completely crushed… is more disturbing than the actual violence.”
Some folks out there might disagree.
Did YOU think the premiere was too violent? Did the series go too far on Sunday night?
Why did two people need to get killed off?
“We really needed to drive Rick and Negan’s story throughout the season, and we felt that one death would do the trick, but the second death – Glenn’s death – really propels us into a very different direction,” Nicotero said, adding:
[That second murder is] really about Negan laying down the law. So [it] has a lot to do with Rick’s future story, Maggie’s future story and certainly Daryl’s future story.”
Interesting.
You can use the following video to watch The Walking Dead online and see what the controversy was all about now:
Response to the premiere has been less than positive, with fans upset over the blood, gore and violence… along with perceived manipulation of producers waiting until halfway through the hour to reveal Negan’s victims.
What does Nicotero have to say to those who have threatened to stop watching?
“Listen… I’ve been shocked at the turns of events on [Game of Thrones]. But you know what? I still love it. And I’m still committed to seeing where that story goes.
“So I think it’s a kneejerk reaction that people have, because they care about these characters. That’s a tribute to every single actor on our show that has perished.
“It’s unfortunate that people want to take a negative spin on it… [and especially] if that’s really what’s going to happen [and they’ll stop watching], because the show still has a lot to offer!”
WILL YOU KEEP WATCHING THE WALKING DEAD?

Kimbo Slice Dies; MMA Fighter Was 42
Kimbo Slice, a professional mixed martial artist who was scheduled to headline a pay-per-view event in London next month, died Monday of unknown causes.
He was 42 years old.
“We are all shocked and saddened by the devastating and untimely loss of Kimbo Slice, a beloved member of the Bellator family,” Bellator MMA President Scott Coker said in a statement, referring to Slice as “a charismatic, larger-than-life personality that transcended the sport.”
Coker continued:
“Outside of the cage he was a friendly, gentle giant and a devoted family man.
“His loss leaves us all with extremely heavy hearts, and our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Ferguson family and all of Kimbo’s friends, fans, and teammates.”
According to the Coral Springs Police Department, Slice had been hospitalized yesterday morning in Margate, Florida for undisclosed reasons.
Authorities added that said no foul play is suspected in his death.
Slice (real name: Kevin Ferguson) grew into an Internet sensation in 2003 for his appearance and for his backyard fighting videos, knocking numerous opponents in unsanctioned street fights.
He later signed a deal to fight in the UFC and was undefeated as a boxer.
At 6-foot-2, 225 pounds, he fought as a heavyweight and had a 5-2 professional record with four TKOs.
He was signed to Bellator MMA and set to headline Bellator 158 on July 16 against James Thompson.
Slice last fought for that company on February 19, winning a three-round decision that was later changed to a no-contest because Kimbo tested positive for anabolic steroids and an elevated testosterone ratio.
We will soon learn whether performance-enhancing drugs played a role in his passing.
“We lost our brother today,” Slice’s longtime manager, Mike Imber, wrote in a text message to The Associated Press.
While it’s ridiculous to compare the influence both men had on the world, Slice’s death does come just a couple days after the fighting world also lost Mohammed Ali.
We send our condolences to Slice’s family and loved ones.
