Negan: "I'm Negan. And I do not appreciate you killing my men. Also, when I sent my people to kill your people for killing my people, you killed more of my people. Not cool." Season 6 built up to this right moment where we're at, now, such a dreadful cliffhanger. And in this finale, the tension was built up so perfectly until we met Negan and the character terrified us!! to say the least. Those bat thuds felt like they were bashing our faces as it was killing one of our beloved characters. We waited a week before watching episode 7x1, which is nothing compared to how long most of you waited for it if you watched it while it was airing. So we will see you all Sunday for season 7, and we count on you, more than ever to keep the comments relevant to this epsiode. And if you are new to the channel, We upload TWD episodes on Thursday and Sunday.

@@CorsonDrax We wanted episode 1 to be on its own so we decided that the tier list will be on episode 2 but it will still be relevant to just what we saw in season 6.
it's actually an unsolved crime that Andrew Lincoln has never won an Emmy for this episode (or the next one)... the mixture of despair, nervousness, frustration and defeat on his face and body language is literally top tier
@@TheHominidShow mmm but in theory GoT would also qualify as horror if we consider the explicit gore scenes and the main tone of the show, so idk... I guess we have a reopened case my dear watson
@@a.r.m.a absolutely! I didn’t actually cry until the end of season 7 premiere when it showed Maggie so lost and broken😭 I hope Ron and Trin already seen the episode 😬
Imagine having to wait 6-8 MONTHS to find out who it was…… It was sooooo awful! Lol! When the reveal happened, as awful as it was to know….. It also felt like a relief when we finally found out! 😂😂😂
All the rumors and knowing the comic arc and trying to guess at who it was and then to FINALLY see the results and get absolutely floored by it…it was the most painful experience in tv watching…but it was awesome at the same time
@@williamtoccijr9579 precisely! You get it! Thank you! With the way some people handled it/took it….. I felt totally alone! So many people I knew, personally, quit watching afterwards because they were so frustrated. Meanwhile I was over here, setting my DVR every week, just so I could rewatch & analyze every minute of every episode! I was there for the first episode. I was there for the last. Never missed one any time in between. It’s so nice watching Rob & Trin react to it because they get it, too! Lol! So thank you for understanding & helping me feel, not so alone! Have a great weekend!!!
Another brilliant writing decision was to have Rick wearing his Murder Coat during this. Every time we saw him wearing it up until now, Rick was a complete badass psycho killer. But now, we see him wearing it and he is emasculated, humiliated, and helpless. It's brilliant writing.
The introduction to Negan was one of the biggest & most anticipated events to happen in TWD! That cliffhanger ending tho hurt us, especially since we had to wait MONTHS for the next episode.
The thing is all they had to do was show it and it would of been a perfect episode. And still would of left the start of the next season to surprise everyone including comic readers with the second death
I was reading the comics right when the show was peaking here, I wasn’t watching it but I still kept up cause I’ve always loved TWD. What’s weird is that I had guessed almost exactly what happens after the gap.
I will never forget how I felt the first time watching this. That along with the predictions following the cliffhanger for a year. Most painful wait ever.
This was the one time in my life where I truly wanted and _needed_ to see spoilers for any story I enjoyed. Thank goodness accurate ones were available after a while. They really helped at least with providing closure! This cliffhanger was the cruelest of all time, threatening to freeze us in the most horrific moment of the series for so many months. Weirdly S6 was my fave season, yet the cliffhanger from that season probably started me on the path that led me to progressively lose interest and quit the series for years (after or during season 9). Only now am I considering going back into it to see how the rest went, once I can refresh my memory on seasons 7-9.
There are many great moments and episodes, in the Walking Dead, that I think we all enjoy watching reactors see for the first time. This episode and the next one are among the top of the list. The next episode is called “The Day Will Come When You Won't Be” which is what Dr. Jenner told Rick in season 1 when he said they were grateful for letting them out of the CDC. We’ve come full circle. It’s a wild ride. Enjoy.
The amount of videos ppl made speculating who Negan Lucilled were massive. "Oh it had to be this person because xyz..." this went on for weeks. It was crazy.
So many people were piiiiiiiiiissssssssed about this cliffhanger, but, like it or not, the goal was to get people talking for 6-7 months and it worked like a charm. I had people who didn't even watch TWD ask me who Negan killed. People were making graphs and matching the trees between shots, it was insane! It was a very active period in the fandom.
Thing is, for those 6-7 months hardly anyone was talking about who Negan killed. Almost everyone was talking about what bunch of shithouses the writters were for leaving us on such a stupid cliffhanger! For those of us who read the comics beforehand, it felt cheap. Though I suspect the real reason is they were scared people wouldn't come back for the next season if the didn't do it this way. I know a few people who quite watching because of the season 7 premier but, I know many more who quit because of this cliffhanger.
@TheHominidShow 1. Relax, keep the conversation civil, Rob, and Trin deserve that much. 2. I beg to disagree. I was a mod for 2 of the biggest TWD fan groups at the time, and I sifted through literally thousands of speculation posts that summer alone. Sure, there were/are detractors, but most of the fandom was pretty engrossed in the mystery. The comic readers thought they knew it all, the newbies were lost, the "insiders" had their own claims, armchair detectives had a feild day, and it was more fun than negative.
@@Zombie_Trooper 1. Don't be so condescending. 2. There was literally nothing in my last comment that wasn't civil. 3. I don't know which groups you were moderating but, from someone who was/is a member of dozens of TWD groups, I saw vastly more people complaining (comic readers and noobs alike) that the cliffhanger was stupid so, either mods like yourself were filtering out the positive comments, or you're scope wasn't wide enough. 4. You shoelaces are untied
You are so lucky to be watching episode 7x01 in a few days time. We had to wait 7 ( April 3, 2016 - October 23, 2016 ) months to see the resolution to this cliffhanger. During the hiatus, between seasons TWD fans were going crazy with theorizes, as to who the victim of Negan's attack was. Going as far as making charts of where everyone was in the line up and what the angle of his swing showed as to who got Lucilled.
I remember sweating bullets watching this episode. It was such a great decision showing the Saviors true strength by road blocks. Each one bigger and more dangerous.
The next episode, S7 Ep 1, is a very emotional, extremely hard episode to watch. I've been able to watch every episode no less than a half a dozen times but not the next one. I've only been able to watch that one once, but I'm going to watch it with you guys on Sunday. Hang in there y'all. It's going to be a rough one.
The amount of anxiety I felt watching this episode, I’ve felt anxiety while watching episodes of course, but nothing to this extreme. The next episode broke so many people. The intimidation of Negan and The Saviors. His introduction is the best I’ve watched from a show. He is extremely charismatic while also making everyone shit themselves. The cliffhanger left so many people trying and figure out who we lost. Such an amazingly horrific episode. Negan is no joke. I hope you guys are able to continue after these next 2 episodes. So many stopped watching. Rick said to Jenner that he was grateful to be given the chance to survive, and he was. Until now.
5:20 Fun Fact: There's a theory that Steven Ogg's character in Better Call Saul and his character here in TWD are the same person. This is because there is a theory with plenty of evidence that the events of Breaking Bad also happened in the TWD timeline. And in Better Call Saul, he never mentions his name in any of his appearances, he only goes by an alias called "Mr. X". So we can infer his real name is Simon as seen here.
And here he is... My absolute favorite character in the show. I love JDM as Negan. You love Negan, hate to love him or love to hate him - in any case he will make you feel something.
Yup, powerful character, his presence changes the whole show going forward. Even when the show fell a little bit in quality, Negan always brought a compelling element to it.
The first seconds I saw JDM as Negan I was surprised, disappointed and shocked. It seemed to be so wrong. In my mind he was still this lovely guy Danny from Grey's Anatomy and Daddy Winchester. But not such a cruel asshole. This must be a joke. But after the first moments he made me Love AND hate this Charakter. JDM is just brilliant!
Fun Fact: Steven Ogg wanted to play Negan and auditioned for the part but they chose JDM instead. But just like Daryl's role, the showrunners created another role for Steven Ogg, Simon. Negan's right hand man.
17:20 And here shows THE MAN! One of the greatest characters ever in the TV history comes to open another chapter of the story for all of the characters that is going to change everyone's lifes. I'm sure you are gonna enjoy every damn second of this incredible man, who is going to have an impact to the whole Universe of TWD one day.
Everybody had a theory. How Negan stands, his Shadow and all such funny things. The Crew filmed the Bat for every character so nothing could get spoiled
I really love Jeffery dean Morgan as Negan like he fits the character so well I can’t wait for the next episode after this one but I love this episode and how they show Negan.
The Time is comeee, Here WE are... we're waiting this from the first season we fallow you move with you Thank you Rob&Trin. creating this cominity like family. let's sit back and watch this one of the greatest episode.
This episode affected me physically unlike any show I’ve ever watched in my life !! My body became numb, I was scared, my heart was racing, I was nauseous, seeing Rick like that was something I couldn’t wrap my head around. It’s hard to put into words. I had the same reaction yall did but I was by myself, in the dark, watching this nightmare. This is the 2nd time I’ve seen this episode and I’m glad yall edited it bc I’m not sure I could sit through the entire thing again. It wasn’t too soon after this I had to take a break from TWD. I still haven’t finished it. I think I got through maybe 3 episodes in season 7 before I took a break. Whew!! Crazy how a fictional show can have that effect on you !!
I remember interviews with the cast/writers where they said that they wanted the finale to be about the introduction of Negan, not about a death, hence the cliffhanger. You’re in for it in the next episode. Imagine having to wait a whole year for it!
And so ends season 6. Which is my personal favorite season. I just love the story from episode 1 to episode 16. A great natural pace and progression. From Rick coming around to trusting and believing in the people of Alexandria, to thinking they were an unstoppable force, to the moment he realized he didn’t know shit. A great parallel I loved about this episode and the first of the season is herding. In the premiere the group were herding the horde of walkers, and in the finale our group were being herded. It’s just one of those little things that draws a line and makes you wonder just who are the walking dead. In the case of the premiere it wasn’t definitively the walkers. In contrast during the finale, it was our group. We’ve seen the group survive Terminus, we’ve seen them come together and massacre a herd and take back their community. This however is different. Carol isn’t coming, there are no surprises rocket launchers, and the strongest members of the group are all on their knees. There is no getting out of this. Our group has lost.
If only you'd seen the absolute chaos that ensued over this cliffhanger back when it aired! The internet was in a frenzy trying to figure out who was killed! I was in school at that time and I just remember how my friends and I couldn't even pay attention in class because we were so stressed over the cliffhanger LOL
The next episode is called “the day will come when you won’t be” which is what dr Jenner told Rick after he said he was “greatful” in season 1 episode 6
the next episode will be called “the day will come when u wont be”. This is a reference to when Dr. Jenner told rick these exact words when he left the lab instead of staying to die peacefully with him. I think its a cool thing they always bring stuff back like sayings and ofcourse the backpack!
Ricks “tough guy” front getting stripped away bit by bit as each group of saviors gets bigger, and by the end of the episode he is scared, running, then on his knees like everyone else, best part of the episode.
I met Ross (Aaron) back in 2018 and he gives the best hugs in the entire world! as well as another character you guys haven't met yet but he is the king at the show omg you guys will adore him but yeah those 2 actors literately give the best hugs in the world!
I don’t think I have any other show or moment that effects me this much EVERY TIME I SEE IT. Every time I see it is like the first. Never loses its scariness. I must have PTSD. from when you hear the first whistle while they’re walking in the WUUDS.
When you guys were like "are you ready? I'm talking to him he doesn't look ready" I'm literally shaking my head no while you ask are you ready because it's about to get REAL 😭🤦🏽
This episode and the introduction of Jeffery Dean Morgan was the reason I started to watch The Walking Dead in the first place. This was the first episode I watched then while waiting for the season 7 premiere I watched the first 6 seasons.
This’ll always be one of the best Season finales to me because it shows the best and worst of humanity Negan’s introduction was basically word for word from the comics it took 6 full Seasons for Rick to actually look scared and intimidated We’ve never seen Rick like this.
I don't care what anyone says about what happens in the next episode and beyond, because I still love every second of this show, no matter how many times I've watched them, it keeps getting better! It may be devisive for some people, but I think it's all badass! The less you know before going into the next seasons, the better off you are: No expectations! It's in my top three favorite shows of all times. Maybe even #1!
I agree with you 100%! Even though season 8 was my least favorite, I did however enjoyed most of the episodes of that season. This series has been my life for 12 years. I never loved a show as much as I do this
Notice the role reversal in 6x01 and 6x16. In 6x01, Alexandrians are herding walkers through the streets. Now, the saviors are herding the Alexandrians.
This and the following episode freaking traumatised me. Seriously. I have never felt such despair and burning in my chest while watching a show up until those two episodes. I've been loving your reactions from the start and here's a virtual hug, you'll need it.
And this is why we said do both episodes. This episode changed everything. It was the most stressful and to have to wait months before you find out was torture. Can’t wait for the next one hope it’s real soon.
I've been watching your journey in watching The Walking Dead from the start and I couldn't wait till you both got to this moment. I was thinking, when seeing you get emotional during other episodes "You've not seen NOTHING yet. You think the Governor is ruthless, wait till you meet Negan". The build up to this episode was immense for me and I still remember how tense I felt while watching it. If it's bad for you now in wanting to know what happened, imagine when we were all watching it when I came out and having to wait months to find out 😆 This episode is one of the best cliffhangers I've ever seen for a TV program, and Episode 1 for Series 7 is just as good.
I still remember watching the season 6 finale on live and I was so mad that we all had to wait for months just for season 7 to finally reveal who was hit by Negan
The Ross Marquand cameo was awesome, he's a cutie and Aaron is a great character. A nice happy surprise for you before the bat came crashing down. You guys are spot on... cool, calm, collected, calculating Negan vs The Governor would end very very badly for The Gov. Negan would wipe the floor with his crazy ass. The Governor really was a psycho, but Negan is.... something else. I'll say no more. S6E16 and S7E1 are sooo stressful to watch. I'm glad for you that you didn't have to wait an eternity between the episodes like all of us watching as it aired had to. Are you pissing your pants yet? It's gonna be pee pee pants city here real soon. Fantastic reaction as always Rob and Trin, you never disappoint!!! 💜💜
Before I get into my triggered thoughts because I am crying and shaking all over ago. I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Ross Marquand. He is a complete sweetheart. Now on to my thoughts, this was the most anticipated episode ever on the Walking Dead and the next episode a lot of people say killed the series. I believe it was the heart break but a true fan sticks it through no matter what because at the end of the day. You love each and every character and you want to know how they survive this world we have come to know no matter what!
My anxiety is through the roof, haven’t watched this episode since it aired, but I decided to take this journey with you all😬. Always love the reactions.❤
Andrew's acting is just stunning! That look in his eyes of complete terror is perfect! And there's more of that in the next episode! We had to wait six months for the next episode. That was murder for us!
welcome to where you going Rob and Trin :D you've just reached a turning point...you've reached the point where you either stop watching the show or this becomes the best thing you've ever watched..For me personally, this presentation of Negan is the best 20 minutes on television... The best villain in the history of the screen and the greatest monologue ever with an incredible performance by JDM.On your video in the sixth episode of the first season, I wrote a comment for you to remember the words of Dr. Jenner at the CDC. When he let the group escape, Rick told him "I'm grateful" and Jenner replied "the day will come when you won't be". The day will come when you won't be is the title name of the next episode and everything will be clear to you when you watch the episode.Imagine the build up of seven seasons leading to one moment... only Walking Dead can do that and that's why it's the greatest series of all time regardless of all the ups and downs! P.S. you are watching the uncensored version, but the censored version is much better and scarier.. When Negan swears less, he seems even scarier and more serious.. it literally puts fear in your bones
Brilliantly said! There will never be another series like this for me. The only reason I’m not in a metal hospital is because of the spin-offs, if it wasn’t for them, I would be lost🤧
Andrew Lincoln's acting absolutely shines in brilliance in the next episode which is why I could never understand how that man did not win an Emmy award.
(I promise this is not a spoiler) others will probably tell you this on the next video but the title of the season 7 premiere is a reference to what Jenner said to Rick at the CDC at the end of season 1, "I'm grateful" "The day will come when you won't be..."
this episode and the subsequent season 7 opener were some of the most anticipated tv moments of all time. Everyone spent the whole summer theorizing who got the bat, and i remember walking into school the day after season 7 premier and it was the only thing people were talking about! truly infamous, and it was the peak in twds stardom
This is my favorite episode, the moment I came across this channel (when you guys were on season 2) I thought about this episode and I couldn’t wait for you guys to see it
So nice of Aaron to greet you purrsonally. :) Also, how cool that almeowst everybuddy says "the Governor is a pussy compared to Negan" once they see Negan in purrson for the furst time. :)
I'm really glad you two have got to this point! I'm excited to see Sundays reaction. I actually found it surprisingly difficult to watch your reactions from about episode 13 onwards because of how stressed I was for this. It's incredible how an episode I watched years ago never fails to make me so stressed and anxious 🤣
As bad as it was for you to wait a week for this cliffhanger, imagine how bad it was for us since we had to wait a year to find out who Negan killed. It sucked balls big time.
I had chills just by watching your reaction to it. (: Glad you got to watch Negan's uncensored speech first. Next episode will show again what a great actor Andrew Lincoln is! I hope you guys will be alright after what lies ahead! 😱🤞🏼
All of my close family was here for this premiere, all the aunts, uncles, and grandma 😭 I vividly remember sitting on my mom's lap while watching this, the absolute fear and shock this episode brought was insane. Everyone was screaming, I adore this episode
And so it happened, After watching since the start of you guys watching, I was waiting for this point. I joined you guys on patreon after watching, because of the amount of hours of content, laughs and reliving this show through you guys. It's the least I can do. It'll probably be for only a month but I just wanted to give something back. Thanks guys!
This has been such a wild experience im so invested in your series that it felt like I was watching this episode for the first time again the same feelings of dread and anxiety. Like woww
Brooooo it is finally upon us!! You are so lucky you are watching it now when it first aired we had to wait about 8-10 months to see who got the bat! I am excited to see your next reaction!
Now imagine... seeing this cliffhanger when the show was airing and having to wait MONTHS to see who was on the recieving end of such brutality🤣😂😭... people were so maaaad about it and there was a huge influx of people joining spoiler sites so they could try and piece together who Negan took out.
This intro of Negan was something people were waiting on forever since he debuted in the comics on issue #100. This is where everything changed and fans were hyped but also really scared as well
Dude. Oh what a time it was when Negan arrived. We were ALL crapping our pants. Alot of people were upset by how the finale ended. People were so pissed. I thought it was great because that meant we were about to step into the darkest part of the story and we weren't gonna be ready for it. And this pause was for us to get ready and buckle up cuz this ride is unforgiving. But the question is: why don't these Saviors kill Negan? Why do they keep helping him? Last thing I'll say is that after this aired, people spent weeks and months studying the lineup of Rick and his people frame by frame, clip by clip. I'm not even kidding. It was madness. People were out here trying to figure out who it was that got whacked. So the producers then decided to shoot everyone's death scene so that nobody would know who really died. But I'll never forget the day Season 7x01 felt when it finally aired. I was bawling like a baby, using the commercial break to compose myself and throw water on my face. I literally felt ill to my stomach. Most people were like me. Just crying throughout the entire episode that we ended up exhausted and numb by what we just watched. Nothing like that was ever seen again on tv.
omg I cannot tell you how long ive been waiting for you guys to watch this episode and the season 7 premier. its so emotionally draining but incredible in that sense. Ive never felt to emotionally scarred from a TV show and that says something. Incredible performances and filming its a work of art
