I've never watched a show that's made me feel such depths of horror, anger and mindbending despair as I felt on Monday during The Walking Dead finale. What was that??!!!
It was absolute MADNESS in the very strictest sense of the word and I'll never get over it. We've never seen our heroes in such a devastatingly defeated situation - Rick
crying. All of them so brutally violated with no hope at
all. I can literally feel the tears welling up as I write this it's so intense!!
I felt ferocious for our heroes and I was also angry with the show for putting me through the suffering and for the commentary it made because it's perspective on humanity was so dark it almost drove me out of my mind.
The only vague light through it all was the fact that Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays the new EVIL taxman Negan and I've always liked him because he's hott and very affable generally so I kept forcing myself to think: "It's
HIM, it's Jeffs. Do. Not. Forget. He's just acting."
Of course this mind control was impossible once it became clear that he was definitely going to use that barbed wire bludgeon whose name I refuse to remember. And when he did, it was
the most violent, vicious moment on the show.
EVER.
The zombies and their behaviour are nothing in comparison with him because they can't help who they are - they aren't human - and yet he is and it was devastating to see.
Thankfully none of our faves got the brunt of it though because there's no way the show would have put us through that and then killed or maimed someone that we
really love.
I'm convinced that it was the no name brand who got beaten... I use the term loosely because I don't see how anyone could make it out of that alive. I've just looked up his name because I always forget it...Aaron.
He's such a side line character and we hardly know anything about him so I'm sure it's him, especially because he just "happened" to go on the trip. Rick even had that argument with him about staying at home instead of going. Of course he didn't say "I'm going to be bludgeoned!" but I'm sure it's why he went.
Do you think so too?
