A couple of thoughts. Negan is still alive in the comics, so I wonder how long they are going to drag out his story. The governor story dragged on IMO too long, the Negan story is much much longer.
Second, pretty bad taste by the Talking Dead to have their premiere in a cemetery.
Well..... after the needless cliffhanger bull**** of last season...... the shock value just fell flat for me.
I can't be alone here.

The cemetery is active and regularly hosts community events, including music and summer movie screenings.
I agree. Would have been more shock if they would have beat down Abe last season. Then whacked Glenn during the start of season 7. We had the whole summer to speculate and prepare.
I know this is hard to imagine because we love our original group so much but think about this. If you were Negan and people were killing your guys/outposts and possibly a threat would you handle ricks group and different? Besides the skull bashing anyways, although seemingly effective at scaring/breaking several. The comics are amazing and Rick and crew do capture Neagan with an insiders help. Good things to come and I will miss Glenn and Abraham for sure.

Dude, this whole thread is a spoiler. If you don't watch the episode, don't click the link.
This ^^^^^^^^^^ they spent several episodes building tension then blue balled everyone.
Abe getting smashed could have closed season 6.... squish, Negan laughing and fade to black... everybody would have been wrecked.
THEN season 7 opens with Daryl doing the punch out... Negan getting pissed then hammering Glenn. OH CRAP! I thought Glenn was safe!
There wouldn't have been 6 or 7 months of speculation since everybody would assume Abe paid the bill.
BIG Missed opportunity for cheap seat theatrics of a cliffhanger.
My wife is emailing me from work. Seems the head smashing was too much for some people. I told her they were missing the bigger picture. The disturbing part was the Neagan head games. Watching my buddy get whacked would just tick me off and strengthen my resolve. But Neagan broke Rick.
