| Why keep watching after an episode like that? I watch once in a while but that was completely over the top. Just emotional brutality. Just made me feel sick and like I don't want to reward the people who wrote it by turning on the show again. |

Then you can't be a fan of the show. The emotional brutality was the point of the episode. Negan was breaking Rick. This is an iconic scene from the comics. The story is really before Negan and after Negan. It's a new story now. |

I threw up. 
Don't normally watch gore, not my thing. This was beyond what I thought would happen. Yeah, way too intense. |

| At least it wasn't Daryl or Michonne. I am not ready for them to go. |

| This was the most emotionally intense episode yet. I had a difficult time falling asleep last night. It's amazing that after 7 years, this series still keeps me watching. Props to Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Andrew Lincoln for nailing that episode. They all did a great job, but those two smashed it home. This is going to be an interesting season for sure. |

| Both the best, and worst episode by far. So intense! I also had trouble sleeping last night. The second death was so unexpected, I was sad to lose Abe but felt relief that everyone else was ok, and then WHAM! Out goes Glen too. I have never cried during a TV show before. I am afraid for what the rest of the season will bring but that is what keeps me watching! |

I'm feeling this way, too. I was already losing interest, but I just don't need to start my week watching horrible people do terrible things to each other. |

Come on. It's the Walking Dead. It's always been violent. Yes this is a new level of violence but it's not like you didn't know that going in. I loved the episode, although I almost threw up and definitely cried. It made me care about the characters again...I had been losing interest. But that moment where I thought Daryl was going to die, it made me resmember why I'm still watching. |

I made a deliberate decision to not watch the episode and just read the spoilers. I had a feeling it was going to be more gory than I could handle and it sounds like I was right. Some of last season's episodes were already interrupting my sleep so I was considering quitting the show anyway. I might just let them stack up on my DVR for a while.
There's a website I like: http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/The_Walking_Dead_Wiki They follow the plot and characters in detail for both the TV show and the comic book series. I might just read the episode synopsis on that website for a while so I can keep up and not have to watch the gruesome scenes. You'd think this would be the last season anyway. Who can keep this up for more than 7 seasons? |

I was relieved when it was Abraham, and also felt like it was a bit of a cop out.
Shocked when they killed Glenn too. My god, the eye socket thing! The scariest part for me though was Negan in the RV with the ax. I was sure Rick was going to lose a hand. I muted that and just read the captions. And watching Rick finally cave when asked to mutilate Carl. Oh the humiliation. He should have kept his damn mouth shut after Abraham was killed. Daryl is going to have some serious guilt for getting Glenn killed. |

| The show has hit over the top violence for me and is no longer an interesting story. I have been done for a while but this is really it. DH can watch it alone. |

+1 for some reason, this episode seemed the most brutal of all. |

Per the writers on Talking Dead after the show, they've got a lot more story to tell. |

Did you notice that Abraham gave the people on his left (Rick, Sasha) a "peace" sign before he was killed?
And wondering why they had Daryl lunge at Negan for bothering Rosita. I'm wondering if this is another TWD budding romance. |
