Man the end of season 6 has to be one of the biggest cliffhangers in tv history and one of the most suspenseful episodes ever. I remember we had to wait like a year for the next season to see who died
My heart broke for Maggie this whole episode. She was so sick from the pregnancy she couldn’t even gather the strength to say her last goodbye to Glenn. Maggie and Glenn BOTH foreshadowed that something more was gonna happen, that it was gonna cost something
You can't deny Negan is the best antagonist/villain we had. And so damn funny. And charming. Andy's and Jeffrey's acting were top tier. How Andrew Lincoln was so dismissed at awards is mindblowing.
I still thought the Governor was a better villain. But Negan is a better character for overall imo. Imagine the Governor with the power that Negan had. I think he would’ve been even better
Well that’s exactly how he says it in the comics at the end of the day negan is supposed to be comedic villain that just so happens to be Intimidating at the same time
I’m so glad that he understands that this is the WHOLE groups fault. Not just Daryl’s, they ALL decided to attack negan with minimal info. He’s right, Morgan is the one who said we should try to talk. I’m not saying negan is a saint, I think there would have been loss no matter what at some point. But we will never know cause they attacked first, and know they are reaping what the sow. They got way too big for their breeches.
Saviors always start off with killing one person. So that they get the message off the bat! Hilltop didn’t attack them first. But still lost a young kid. Their only mistake is assuming one place was all there was. They should have gotten organized and took them all out otherwise what’s the point 🤷🏾♂️😂😂👍🏾
Regardless of whether or not the group killed those saviors, the Saviors would have found them anyway, killed a couple of them and took control. That's what they do. That's what they did to Hilltop and the Kingdom, and Oceanside and the small group at the Library etc etc etc... This is nobodies fault. This was inevitable. The saviors were always coming....one way or another
I also think it’s crazy that so many people stop watching after Glenn’s death. They got so upset that a favorite character died but for me it just makes it more realistic. It reminds you that no one is safe.

@@tommypellerin5425I don’t think so I’m pretty sure the only reason Rick lost to the Gov is because his hand was broken and he got shot in the leg. Yeah the Gov got shot in the arm but it didn’t affect him as much. Remember Rick was good enough to beat someone like Shane (Shane threw a bike on him outside of that Rick had the upper hand) who was also an officer the Gov and had a little size
This ending humbled Rick will quick and humbled the viewers as well. If we won all the time the show would be pretty boring. Negan use people so he needs them alive but at the same time, he needs them to fear him. I loved Abraham & Glenn but we needed a L. Rick is for me one of the best character on a TV show and his acting here is a masterclass !!!
Idk if it’s just be me but, I literally love these episodes. Rick and his group thought they were top dogs so they had to suffer for it. I’m not mad at Negan matter of fact I’m happy he spared them, he could’ve killed them all. They killed over 10 of his people and he only took one. I know that hilltop said that they were evil but killing people for food??? Rick and his group deserved it this episode was funny asf
@@Tezmarite I'm not sure if "funny" is the right answer for this episode. Deserving? Yeah 100%. Rick's group killed over 50 men I feel like. 1 group on the road and 1 group in the building
@@yceegaming6557 what I mean by funny is like ilyas said, how Rick was begging and snotting like a dog. Abraham and Glenn’s deaths were sad but seeing rick like that was funny
Ngl AJ spat this episode. This was a major reality check for our gang. TWD did their thing w these. I remember watching this live after waiting months to find out who died and just feeling sick to my stomach. Some of the best episodes right here.
Negan wasnt scared of him,hes good at reading people and he thought Abraham was Rick's second in command after seeing him not get scared and willing to take a hit for the team,he also came across as some one who would fight back if given the chance and some one everyone else could rely on if Rick's not around,he literally alludes to it on episode 7x1,thats why he picked him,to break theirfighting spirit,then picked Glenn for obviously being Maggies love,to break their hearts.
The first time I saw Glenn on screen, I remember my 9 year old self pointing at the screen and saying he's my favorite. And since then, he's been my favorite. I waited a whole year for season 7, anxiously, and seeing Glenn die like that, not only in a cruel way but seeing Negan LAUGHING and MOCKING him while he fought for his life, ruined it for me, every time I see that scene even after all these years, I still cry. And also because of the fact that Glenn saved Rick in the beginning, and he couldn't save him now, and the fact that if Daryl hadn't punched Negan maybe Glenn could be alive... this episode is definitely what the walking is. dead, great reaction.
Thats kind of dumb. He would have to have imagined that this would happen for it to be his fault. No reasonable person would have seen that coming. Negan did it. He was the villian. It was his fault entirely. @jordanl1911
Hugs to the lot of you, this episode infected my dreams for over a month afterwards. Big powerful acting and great powerful losses. So much connection and love built up over so many survival-fueled seasons that you truly feel for these people like Family, flaws and all. Your anger and repulsion is so justified. 💝💝💝
I firmly believe that 7x1 is the greatest piece of art in television history. "Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable" - Cesar A. Cruz
I seriously binged yalls reaction from season 1 episode 1 to the last one in about 2 weeks to be on time for this reaction. Finished it yesterday evening. Damn am I happy I made it perfectly in time. Love the reaction and the different views on the characters. It's genuinely refreshing to have some different opinions in stead of 3 guys thinking the same. Keep it up I love this 🔥
This is what Negan does to communities, Hilltop, Oceanside, that library (where the guy with the A sprayed on his chest was from) and I can say the Kingdom since you are a season ahead. It would not have mattered if Alexandria attacked or not... it would have happened. This wasn't revenge for Negan, this is how he owns ALL the communities. So for them to want to take the saviors out first was the right plan, the arrangement with Hilltop was right, they just didn't investigated the Saviors enough.
@@ThegoatTK Negan did the SAME thing to Oceanside, Hilltop and the Kingdom. You really think that if Rick's group didn't kill all those saviors that Negan wouldn't have did this? He terrifies a group and kills one of them, exactly what he did here. It wasn't because of his people getting killed or he would have just killed Rick and co... it wasn't done out of revenge it was done to control the group and supply his people.
Andrew undeniably deserved huge awards after his performances in TWD, especially for this particular episode. The main reason Negan is such an intimidating villain, is because of Andrew. His insanely amazing performance as Rick was what made Negan a believable, real threat. Andrew showed a huge range of emotions, sometimes just with his eyes. He deserves so much more attention and love than what he got, it genuinely depresses me sometimes at how overlooked he is 😞
in the comics Glenn died as the only one. they tricked the community so hard in killing Abraham, so everyone thought Glenn would be save. Greates show, greatest epsiode and an awsome JDM and Andrew acting. Rick beeing broken and helpless the first time
Not sure if anyone mentioned it already but in the comics Glen was the only person Negan kills. Jeffery Dean does a great job and portraying the Negans character. His dialogue is close to the comic as well.
They would have come for the group regardless. They already knew where they were. The only thing that might have been different is who died. I don’t blame Rick’s group for trying to eliminate the threat but they should have done more research. I think they thought the outpost that they hit was where Negan was and that’s the only group he had. At this point there was no winning against Negan whether they hit the outpost or not. The group got sloppy but facing Negan was inevitable.
You got it right, so many Negan “defenders” say that Rick “started” it by attacking first (even though the bikers started it with Sasha, Abe, and Daryl), but you’re right, the Saviors were inevitable, and needed to be dealt with, but they weren’t ready.
There is no deal-making with Negan and the Saviors. Alexandria was on the Saviors' radar. We see this when Carol was acosted by the Saviors on the road. They were on their way to Alexandria.
On the way to Alexandria doesn't mean on the way to kill Glenn and Abraham. Negan can be negotiated with. Saviors had an ongoing deal with The Kingdom that was being honored as negotiated, a deal which still allowed Ezekiel to continue leading The Kingdom and didn't involve turning it into a Savior outpost or anything like that. Rick drew first blood against Negan before they could even meet each other or make any deal between the communities. This would only make Negan assume that Rick can't be negotiated with and would need to be brought to heel.
@Alwaysmantis yeah, tell that to Oceanside. Btw, where are their boys and men? And tell that to The Kingdom when they're ONE item short. And the icky trash people. What happened to them? Negan's system did NOT "save" them; rather, it oppressed them (even his "wives"). Under Negan's leadership, the vulnerable were supressed, and bullies thrived. With Negan, people are not saved; they die. Each community has the right to self-determination. Bottom line, Negan was wrong.
I totally understand Ilias and Prophet...however AJ was str8 spitting. Regardless of whatever it wouldve been a problem....somebody wouldve died the minute negan's crew wouldve bump into Rick's group. Thats their M.O.....like the biker group we first met literally said it "usually we kill one of you and you take us back to your community so you know we mean business"......at that point we was loosing sasha and abraham. Until daryl was like "NOT TODAY SATAN".
True. It seems like some people forget that exchange with Daryl, Abe , and Sasha with the bikers. They would have died at the Saviors' hands. But Daryl got em first. So THAT was the first strike, which they lost.
@rhetoricalmode1917 yeah exactly! That encounter alone that Daryl, Sasha and Abe had with the saviors on the road furthermore motivated Rick to take out their post when they saw that the saviors were also capable of sending Hilltop a message with one of hilltop's own that got Gregory stabbed.
This is why it bothers me so much. I don't understand why the guy in the orange and I'm sorry if I don't know your name talking like what Rick and them did for food was a bad idea. The group attacked them two times before they met with hilltop they just didn't know who the group was. The plan was to not only get food that they desperately needed otherwise they would have died slowly of starvation, But to attack the group that attacked them first and strike them first before they would have became a bigger problem. The only problem is they did not fully know who negan was. They didn't know how big the group was. every plan has a risk you either don't do it and starve or you do do it and risk a war against the group you don't know nothing about, but you do know they attacked you twice before and they're willing to kill you come to your home and take whatever they want. They knew that much before they met with hilltop before they came up with the plan to kill them in their sleep so stop acting like it was a bad idea cuz they had no choice
@5star1z that's right he had to just like any leader he has to protect or get revenge for his people . Which is exactly the same thing Rick had to do he had to get food for himself and his people. When you have no other options you got to do what you got to do
"Maggie, I'll find you." Never fails to get me. Glenn was my favorite since the beginning so was sobbing the first (2nd, 3rd ,every time) I watched it.
@@KamandaHickey The difference between Rick and Negan's cowardness is that Rick was on the front lines and chose a safe option to defend his people and their allies from enslavement while also gaining a supply of food that would also keep his people fed. Negan would've sent some soldiers to go enslave a group of innocent strangers for food, all while he sleeps with a random woman who has to blackmail for romance.
I'm surprised Negan said so many F-words in his introduction. When I saw the episode he didn't say any, I think. I guess it's a second version of the episode, uncensored lol
The dude on the right is THE ONLY ONE who talks FACTS, the orange guy is so ignorant and pissed of if someone tells something different, disrespectful behavior against the dude in the right
I met the actors of Glenn and Abraham a year before their deaths on the show and they were sooo sweet & funny😭 I was TRAUMATIZED when I watched the season premiere😭 this episode definitely changed the show moving forward. It was crazyyyyy
48:32 you’re falling into a trap that a lot of fans did. Negan is not the good guy. This wasn’t pay back for an attack. It was payback for payback. The saviors meet a new group. They kill at least one person to say we mean business and they chain the rest of them up or else more or they all die. You don’t get to play ‘how dare you attack my people’ when you’re villains.
52:55 this middle guy keeps telling the two on the side to shut up so he can explain his thoughts while never letting them get a word in ☠️ no wonder the other two reactors don’t like to butt in lol
@@brittanylewandowski6200 Doesn't matter if he didn't know. Negan was giving psychopaths power to rob and kill people, all while also enslaving communities. People who try to stop their enslavement don't deserve death. Just because he didn't order the attacks doesn't negate the fact that those attacks were done by HIS men.
9:54 “started a war without even researching the numbers they have” That is definitely one of the most accurate statements about the situation in the show
I think it was the after show The Talking Dead that said before this Series 7 ep 1 aired, to make sure you was with someone when you watched this show, it was the best and scariest warning any show ever had. In the UK we had 2 premiers. The first was about 4 am and was totally uncut, then the later showing was edited. The shock was equal. Great reaction guys.
I never sub to patron ( still haven't) but when I saw this pop on my notifications I clicked it and started watching, I wasn't paying attention thinking this was just a review of 6x16 not 7x1 also and my ass was searching the link for y'alls patron, just to see the 7x1 reaction. So I just wanted to comment to say thank you gentlemen, your forethought and care for your community to do a double feature is what makes y'all one of the greats here on RUclips.
Completely agree with AJ, the only other moments I’ve felt like this while watching tv is TWD 5x1 (watched live so it was insane) and the red wedding from GOT. The suspense is fucking unreal
Comic Comparisons: In the comics Glenn is the only death The RV trip with Rick and the threat of having Rick cut off Carl’s arm doesn’t happen in the comics Negan kills Glenn and then walks off in the same way he does here Ta ta Line for line the Lucille moment was the same Taking it like a champ Lucille is a vampire bat I just hit you so goddamn hard your eyeball just popped out And it is gross as shit Negan’s time has only just begun. Fun Fact: The title for this episode is the same thing Jenner told him at the CDC back on the Season 1 finale when Rick told him he was grateful that Jenner was letting them go That day has come now.
AJ was right. The Saviors were going to come to Alexandria sooner or later. The car that stopped Carol was on the way to Alexandria until she stopped them. The group made so many mistakes this season. Everyone kept going on solo missions and that's why they got caught.
7x1 is the best episode in TV history for me ! Everything in the episode was perfect, the acting, the directing, the music, the shocks, and the acting again. Man, Andrew Lincoln is so great. I have never seen an actor who masters the role like him in my life. He is truly great. Rest in peace Glenn and Abraham 💔
definitely one of the most graphic and realistic looking shit I've seen in a tv show. But THAT is how you introduce an anatagonist, holy shit. Both Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan) and Andrew Lincoln (Rick) deserved a grammy for their performance in those 2 episodess, the acting was peak level. And I agree with both of your sides .. it would've happened sooner or later anyways but they definitely should've done more research before fucking with them I mean that way they still might've had a chance of at least planning ahead, hiding food or weapons somewhere getting an idea of how many there are and training preparing the people somehow or something.. well to late for that now. And a lot of people might've mentioned it already but remember what Dr. Jenner from the CDC said to Rick in the finale of season 1 when he said he was grateful he opened the door to let them keep trying? He said „the day will come when you won't be“, just like 7x1 episode title👀 yikes..
@@mrsfahrenheit yes, it's hard to watch a movie without thinking, are they a child molester. So corrupt. But TWD has real genuine actors, not wanna be rich idiots. I met 17 actors from the show, real down to earth people
My only complaint was that they made us wait but then ruined Abe’s death by having Glenn die the same way. Abraham is forgotten for the most part and that was super sad for me. He was my top 5.
Man this episode had everybody in a choke hold. It was the biggest talk across the world. It's still hard for me to watch today. The group was never the same after 😢
All these years later and I still haven't forgiven Negan🤷♀️🤣The wait back then to find out who he killed was such a huge part of pop culture. It was everywhere!
I never really blamed Daryl for Glenn’s death because he acted out after Negan was shouting at Rosita to look at the bat right after he butchered Abraham. Daryl just did it out of defense for someone he cared about
Comic Comparisons : In the comics the group goes to Hilltop for sole purpose of getting Maggie Glenn and Sophia (she is still alive at this point in the comics Glenn and Maggie took care of her after Carol committed suicide) After Dwight’s attack on Alexandria Glenn and Maggie agreed Hilltop would be a safer place for both them and Sophia and the group decides to escort them There’s no pregnancy complication. The roadblocks don’t happen in the comics The group stops for the night and that’s when The Saviors grab them There’s no kidnapping other members or putting their belongings on display Eugene doesn’t try to cause a distraction. Morgan and Carol’s whatever it was doesn’t happen in the comics because neither of them are alive at this point. Negan’s entrance in the show is damn near for line as in the comics save for in the comics Negan uses a considerable amount of F-Bombs and various other curses which you can hear on the Blu Ray DVD and it’s the uncensored version The eeny-meeny-miney-moe is one of the most iconic scene in TWD history This episode is damn near flawless and this arc is gonna bring the best one liners and badass moments of the entire show.
It also happened in a milestone issue,#100,and the previous issues dealing to it kept teasing something big happening with close ups of saviors holding different weapons,including the chainsaw dude, which was also included in the show except he appears briefly in the background,the arc was called "something to fear",the lineup was also different,mainly because of Heath and Sophia,Maggie also fights Rick right after Negan leaves,for not doing anything to prevent Glenns death and Carl threatens to shoot her. Comic was wild.
Great reaction 👍 I was devastated while watching this episode. I always felt like Glenn was invincible..and the way he was killed so brutally, while his pregnant (and sick) wife watched.. 😩 😢 it still makes me sob
It's beyond me that the one in the middle acted without any compassion for any character except 1 when 2 episodes before he was lecturing AJ because he was happy with the death of Denise, a character that everyone doesn't care about. It's not because you like Morgan that you have to start despising everyone who is not in his line of thinking and he is far from having always made the right decisions.
Guys, you've gotta remember something...in the episode where Denise dies, she said to Daryl and Rosita that she was gonna go no matter what, so they did the right thing by going with her.
100% this was gonna happen wether they helped the hilltop or they didn't, remember Abraham, daryl and Sasha ran into some saviors back when the horde thing happened, Alexandria has been on their radar since then cause they merked like 10 of them, I do think though that maybe it wouldn't have been as bad as this cause by now they've killed like 40 saviors
Of the reactors I watch a couple have done TWD before. I love the series. I have never seen a proper reaction to Episode7x1 because I can't watrch this episode again lol.6x16 is rough enough already knowing. great 16 reaction though and great 7.1 discussion.
Trying to eliminate the Saviors was exactly the right plan, because they were gonna come for them regardless. Even if they'd scouted, done more research, whatever, this would've been the outcome. Yeah, Negan said he was gonna beat the holy hell outta one of them for killing all his men, but that's just to make him look like the victim. The group of bikers that stopped Daryl, Abe, and Sasha on the road? The leader made it clear that they usually kill one of them. When Dwight stopped Daryl, Rosita, and Denise on the tracks? He said the same thing. They were gonna go with them to Alexandria, kill one of them, then take what they wanted. The guys that stopped Carol on the road? They already knew where Alexandria was, they were on their way there. Negan introduces himself to communities with fear and violence, that's how he gets them to fall in line and stay in line. Was the food worth it? I mean, they had something to eat but this was gonna happen anyway. I usually agree with Ilias (sorry if I spelled it wrong), but at this point it seems like you're making your "was the food worth it" argument just to be right. Right or wrong, we're where we were gonna be anyway.
This is the first time I’ve seen the uncensored version and it is so much better this is literally my favourite show of all time and I’ve never seen this somehow

He knew Abraham would never listen and he could tell he was a soldier
@@lexzeyfercronushe killed Glenn cuz Daryl punched him in the face
The introduction of Negan was brilliant
You know the acting is good when they can actively make you hate and love a villian at the same time
The first time I saw Glenn on screen, I remember my 9 year old self pointing at the screen and saying he's my favorite. And since then, he's been my favorite. I waited a whole year for season 7, anxiously, and seeing Glenn die like that, not only in a cruel way but seeing Negan LAUGHING and MOCKING him while he fought for his life, ruined it for me, every time I see that scene even after all these years, I still cry. And also because of the fact that Glenn saved Rick in the beginning, and he couldn't save him now, and the fact that if Daryl hadn't punched Negan maybe Glenn could be alive... this episode is definitely what the walking is. dead, great reaction.
I straight up hated Daryl for 2 seasons because it was, 100% his faullt.
Thats kind of dumb. He would have to have imagined that this would happen for it to be his fault. No reasonable person would have seen that coming. Negan did it. He was the villian. It was his fault entirely. @jordanl1911
Hugs to the lot of you, this episode infected my dreams for over a month afterwards. Big powerful acting and great powerful losses. So much connection and love built up over so many survival-fueled seasons that you truly feel for these people like Family, flaws and all. Your anger and repulsion is so justified. 💝💝💝
I firmly believe that 7x1 is the greatest piece of art in television history.

I seriously binged yalls reaction from season 1 episode 1 to the last one in about 2 weeks to be on time for this reaction. Finished it yesterday evening. Damn am I happy I made it perfectly in time. Love the reaction and the different views on the characters. It's genuinely refreshing to have some different opinions in stead of 3 guys thinking the same. Keep it up I love this 🔥
Lol I’ve been following them on yt a bit then caved and joined patreon. Binged I guess 36 episodes in a week 🤣
Yeah their arguments are always so entertaining to watch.
This is what Negan does to communities, Hilltop, Oceanside, that library (where the guy with the A sprayed on his chest was from) and I can say the Kingdom since you are a season ahead. It would not have mattered if Alexandria attacked or not... it would have happened. This wasn't revenge for Negan, this is how he owns ALL the communities. So for them to want to take the saviors out first was the right plan, the arrangement with Hilltop was right, they just didn't investigated the Saviors enough.
Exactly 💯. He’s a Tyrant.
Exactly. Morgan's plan would not have made a difference. The Saviors don't save anymore; they own them.
It was definitely for revenge if the roles were reversed Rick would’ve done the same thing but worse.
@@ThegoatTK It was done for revenge but also because this is just what Negan does.
@@ThegoatTK Negan did the SAME thing to Oceanside, Hilltop and the Kingdom. You really think that if Rick's group didn't kill all those saviors that Negan wouldn't have did this? He terrifies a group and kills one of them, exactly what he did here. It wasn't because of his people getting killed or he would have just killed Rick and co... it wasn't done out of revenge it was done to control the group and supply his people.
Andrew undeniably deserved huge awards after his performances in TWD, especially for this particular episode. The main reason Negan is such an intimidating villain, is because of Andrew. His insanely amazing performance as Rick was what made Negan a believable, real threat. Andrew showed a huge range of emotions, sometimes just with his eyes. He deserves so much more attention and love than what he got, it genuinely depresses me sometimes at how overlooked he is 😞
in the comics Glenn died as the only one. they tricked the community so hard in killing Abraham, so everyone thought Glenn would be save. Greates show, greatest epsiode and an awsome JDM and Andrew acting. Rick beeing broken and helpless the first time
Here for the reaction - I stay tuned for the bickering.
😂 it’s all love though, twd really gets us emotionally 🙏
Ya boy in the middle was me when this happened. I never cry and almost started balling when Glenn got hit.
My face was soaking wet when I seen this episode for the first time
Not sure if anyone mentioned it already but in the comics Glen was the only person Negan kills. Jeffery Dean does a great job and portraying the Negans character. His dialogue is close to the comic as well.
AJ talking about "laughing during emotional scenes" when he shouted "LETS GO!" at Lori's death... 💀
They would have come for the group regardless. They already knew where they were. The only thing that might have been different is who died. I don’t blame Rick’s group for trying to eliminate the threat but they should have done more research. I think they thought the outpost that they hit was where Negan was and that’s the only group he had. At this point there was no winning against Negan whether they hit the outpost or not. The group got sloppy but facing Negan was inevitable.
You got it right, so many Negan “defenders” say that Rick “started” it by attacking first (even though the bikers started it with Sasha, Abe, and Daryl), but you’re right, the Saviors were inevitable, and needed to be dealt with, but they weren’t ready.
I agree with you! I honestly think they didn’t suspect anyone would have something this meticulous set up with so many people in the zombie apocalypse
There is no deal-making with Negan and the Saviors. Alexandria was on the Saviors' radar. We see this when Carol was acosted by the Saviors on the road. They were on their way to Alexandria.
On the way to Alexandria doesn't mean on the way to kill Glenn and Abraham. Negan can be negotiated with. Saviors had an ongoing deal with The Kingdom that was being honored as negotiated, a deal which still allowed Ezekiel to continue leading The Kingdom and didn't involve turning it into a Savior outpost or anything like that. Rick drew first blood against Negan before they could even meet each other or make any deal between the communities. This would only make Negan assume that Rick can't be negotiated with and would need to be brought to heel.
@Alwaysmantis yeah, tell that to Oceanside. Btw, where are their boys and men? And tell that to The Kingdom when they're ONE item short. And the icky trash people. What happened to them? Negan's system did NOT "save" them; rather, it oppressed them (even his "wives"). Under Negan's leadership, the vulnerable were supressed, and bullies thrived. With Negan, people are not saved; they die. Each community has the right to self-determination. Bottom line, Negan was wrong.
7x1 is the best episode of television I’ve ever seen. The acting, the suspense, the emotion, all of it was top notch
And it was all downhill from there till the whisperers in season 9
You guys are lucky to watch these two episodes in a row, you have no idea how much we suffered from waiting for S7 premiere back in 2016.
I totally understand Ilias and Prophet...however AJ was str8 spitting. Regardless of whatever it wouldve been a problem....somebody wouldve died the minute negan's crew wouldve bump into Rick's group. Thats their M.O.....like the biker group we first met literally said it "usually we kill one of you and you take us back to your community so you know we mean business"......at that point we was loosing sasha and abraham. Until daryl was like "NOT TODAY SATAN".
True. It seems like some people forget that exchange with Daryl, Abe , and Sasha with the bikers. They would have died at the Saviors' hands. But Daryl got em first. So THAT was the first strike, which they lost.
@rhetoricalmode1917 yeah exactly! That encounter alone that Daryl, Sasha and Abe had with the saviors on the road furthermore motivated Rick to take out their post when they saw that the saviors were also capable of sending Hilltop a message with one of hilltop's own that got Gregory stabbed.
This is why it bothers me so much. I don't understand why the guy in the orange and I'm sorry if I don't know your name talking like what Rick and them did for food was a bad idea. The group attacked them two times before they met with hilltop they just didn't know who the group was. The plan was to not only get food that they desperately needed otherwise they would have died slowly of starvation, But to attack the group that attacked them first and strike them first before they would have became a bigger problem. The only problem is they did not fully know who negan was. They didn't know how big the group was. every plan has a risk you either don't do it and starve or you do do it and risk a war against the group you don't know nothing about, but you do know they attacked you twice before and they're willing to kill you come to your home and take whatever they want. They knew that much before they met with hilltop before they came up with the plan to kill them in their sleep so stop acting like it was a bad idea cuz they had no choice

@5star1z that's right he had to just like any leader he has to protect or get revenge for his people . Which is exactly the same thing Rick had to do he had to get food for himself and his people. When you have no other options you got to do what you got to do
"Maggie, I'll find you." Never fails to get me. Glenn was my favorite since the beginning so was sobbing the first (2nd, 3rd ,every time) I watched it.
when i watched it the first time, i couldn't hate Negan, because he played in one of my favorite shows-SUPERANTURAL
I always seen Negan as a coward, one that use intimidation to keep someone in check.
you are totally wrong sir. Intimidation doesn't make you a coward. he has some mega sized balls, keeping his group in line. he IS a leader
A coward really?! So what is killing people in their sleep? 🧐
Negans group is the equivalent of an apocalyptic mafia
It’s not being a coward to do things in the most efficient way while keeping himself alive
@@KamandaHickey The difference between Rick and Negan's cowardness is that Rick was on the front lines and chose a safe option to defend his people and their allies from enslavement while also gaining a supply of food that would also keep his people fed. Negan would've sent some soldiers to go enslave a group of innocent strangers for food, all while he sleeps with a random woman who has to blackmail for romance.
Y’all told us. Y’all are real I swear one of the best reactions channels 💯
I'm surprised Negan said so many F-words in his introduction. When I saw the episode he didn't say any, I think. I guess it's a second version of the episode, uncensored lol
It is. Obviously
The uncensored version is stupidm
The dude on the right is THE ONLY ONE who talks FACTS, the orange guy is so ignorant and pissed of if someone tells something different, disrespectful behavior against the dude in the right
I met the actors of Glenn and Abraham a year before their deaths on the show and they were sooo sweet & funny😭 I was TRAUMATIZED when I watched the season premiere😭 this episode definitely changed the show moving forward. It was crazyyyyy
48:32 you’re falling into a trap that a lot of fans did. Negan is not the good guy. This wasn’t pay back for an attack. It was payback for payback.
The saviors meet a new group. They kill at least one person to say we mean business and they chain the rest of them up or else more or they all die.
You don’t get to play ‘how dare you attack my people’ when you’re villains.
They killed Glen the Exact same way in the comic. Abraham didt die like that tho
season 6, 7, 10&11 are my favorite i can’t lie.
52:55 this middle guy keeps telling the two on the side to shut up so he can explain his thoughts while never letting them get a word in ☠️ no wonder the other two reactors don’t like to butt in lol
Negans people attacked 1st, they went after Daryl, Sasha, and Abraham, the motorcycle guys
Yep, totally. People seem to forget that.
Not on negans orders though, doesn't count. Ricks group attacked first.
@@brittanylewandowski6200 Doesn't matter if he didn't know. Negan was giving psychopaths power to rob and kill people, all while also enslaving communities. People who try to stop their enslavement don't deserve death. Just because he didn't order the attacks doesn't negate the fact that those attacks were done by HIS men.
Negan didn’t even know
@@clawz6731 agreed
Man i remember the wait between 6x16 and 7x1, Finding out who negan killed was the biggest tv event at that time.
6:20 “GTA character” is Steven Ogg, who was the voice of Trevor in GTA
9:54
“started a war without even researching the numbers they have”
That is definitely one of the most accurate statements about the situation in the show
Morgan and all the characters change their ways all the time. One episode you like someone and the next you don’t. I love watching you guys!
The normal version of the finale without all the swearing is much better by the way. It's a lot more tense and scary. 2 Incredible episode though!!
Lol AJ "they can show eyeballs poppin out, but the sensor f words"
I think it was the after show The Talking Dead that said before this Series 7 ep 1 aired, to make sure you was with someone when you watched this show, it was the best and scariest warning any show ever had. In the UK we had 2 premiers. The first was about 4 am and was totally uncut, then the later showing was edited. The shock was equal. Great reaction guys.
most hyped video ever it’s been a journey
Oh man the moment we all have been waiting for, good thinking putting these in the same reaction! We all felt exactly how you three feel.
Negan, #1 villain of all time! Good reaction guys!
All time? 💀
I never sub to patron ( still haven't) but when I saw this pop on my notifications I clicked it and started watching, I wasn't paying attention thinking this was just a review of 6x16 not 7x1 also and my ass was searching the link for y'alls patron, just to see the 7x1 reaction. So I just wanted to comment to say thank you gentlemen, your forethought and care for your community to do a double feature is what makes y'all one of the greats here on RUclips.
Completely agree with AJ, the only other moments I’ve felt like this while watching tv is TWD 5x1 (watched live so it was insane) and the red wedding from GOT. The suspense is fucking unreal
OMG The Red Wedding traumatized me more than this. It was an insane episode of GOT.
What is red wedding
@@IIIISai its from game of thrones
Never seen prophet so quiet … the boy is traumatized
He was so quiet, like yall go ahead 😂😂 poor guys, tough episode but a big part of the story. So much more to go!
Comic Comparisons: In the comics Glenn is the only death The RV trip with Rick and the threat of having Rick cut off Carl’s arm doesn’t happen in the comics Negan kills Glenn and then walks off in the same way he does here Ta ta Line for line the Lucille moment was the same Taking it like a champ Lucille is a vampire bat I just hit you so goddamn hard your eyeball just popped out And it is gross as shit Negan’s time has only just begun.
Fun Fact: The title for this episode is the same thing Jenner told him at the CDC back on the Season 1 finale when Rick told him he was grateful that Jenner was letting them go That day has come now.
No fools, Negans people attacked them first, TWICE. So Ricks attack wasnt the start at all, they were always gonna find Alexandria.
Yup
Exactly
AJ was right. The Saviors were going to come to Alexandria sooner or later. The car that stopped Carol was on the way to Alexandria until she stopped them. The group made so many mistakes this season. Everyone kept going on solo missions and that's why they got caught.
I remember watching this live back when I was in college, I couldn’t go to class the next day from the trauma 😂😂😂
7x1 is the best episode in TV history for me !
Everything in the episode was perfect, the acting, the directing, the music, the shocks, and the acting again. Man, Andrew Lincoln is so great. I have never seen an actor who masters the role like him in my life. He is truly great. Rest in peace Glenn and Abraham 💔
definitely one of the most graphic and realistic looking shit I've seen in a tv show. But THAT is how you introduce an anatagonist, holy shit. Both Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan) and Andrew Lincoln (Rick) deserved a grammy for their performance in those 2 episodess, the acting was peak level. And I agree with both of your sides .. it would've happened sooner or later anyways but they definitely should've done more research before fucking with them I mean that way they still might've had a chance of at least planning ahead, hiding food or weapons somewhere getting an idea of how many there are and training preparing the people somehow or something.. well to late for that now.
And a lot of people might've mentioned it already but remember what Dr. Jenner from the CDC said to Rick in the finale of season 1 when he said he was grateful he opened the door to let them keep trying? He said „the day will come when you won't be“, just like 7x1 episode title👀 yikes..
Ya but we all know the Grammys are fixed
@@hippielady123 just like everything else in the business hahh👀😪 sadly
@@mrsfahrenheit yes, it's hard to watch a movie without thinking, are they a child molester. So corrupt. But TWD has real genuine actors, not wanna be rich idiots. I met 17 actors from the show, real down to earth people
Bro that lines from Simon
5:48 - Plenty ways to get where you going.
18:45 - Welcome to where you going
My only complaint was that they made us wait but then ruined Abe’s death by having Glenn die the same way. Abraham is forgotten for the most part and that was super sad for me. He was my top 5.
Finally🎉 been anticipating these episodes for a while
Man this episode had everybody in a choke hold. It was the biggest talk across the world. It's still hard for me to watch today. The group was never the same after 😢
I was legit depressed at work the next day
Profit jus sittin there thinkin bout the pancakes he had for breakfast while u guys arguing 😂😂actual G
Best villain of all time best reaction. I enjoyed your guys as reactions so much.
Negan is a great villain, but definitely not the best of all time
who is for you? @@_Yombo
I agree! The Saviors would have eventually found Alexandria and taken over.
I skip these episodes when I rewatch the series. It hurts so bad. I'm trying to watch this whole video. I love watching your reactions.
Me too! It's hard to watch
Fun fact: They filmed deaths for every person in the lineup to avoid spoilers/leaks
Lol, they did the F-bomb version
All these years later and I still haven't forgiven Negan🤷♀️🤣The wait back then to find out who he killed was such a huge part of pop culture. It was everywhere!
I never really blamed Daryl for Glenn’s death because he acted out after Negan was shouting at Rosita to look at the bat right after he butchered Abraham. Daryl just did it out of defense for someone he cared about
that cliffhanger seriously made everyone watching the series die inside back then, it was a lot of months waiting for october for twd to come back 😂
Comic Comparisons : In the comics the group goes to Hilltop for sole purpose of getting Maggie Glenn and Sophia (she is still alive at this point in the comics Glenn and Maggie took care of her after Carol committed suicide) After Dwight’s attack on Alexandria Glenn and Maggie agreed Hilltop would be a safer place for both them and Sophia and the group decides to escort them There’s no pregnancy complication.
The roadblocks don’t happen in the comics The group stops for the night and that’s when The Saviors grab them There’s no kidnapping other members or putting their belongings on display Eugene doesn’t try to cause a distraction.
Morgan and Carol’s whatever it was doesn’t happen in the comics because neither of them are alive at this point.
Negan’s entrance in the show is damn near for line as in the comics save for in the comics Negan uses a considerable amount of F-Bombs and various other curses which you can hear on the Blu Ray DVD and it’s the uncensored version The eeny-meeny-miney-moe is one of the most iconic scene in TWD history This episode is damn near flawless and this arc is gonna bring the best one liners and badass moments of the entire show.
It also happened in a milestone issue,#100,and the previous issues dealing to it kept teasing something big happening with close ups of saviors holding different weapons,including the chainsaw dude, which was also included in the show except he appears briefly in the background,the arc was called "something to fear",the lineup was also different,mainly because of Heath and Sophia,Maggie also fights Rick right after Negan leaves,for not doing anything to prevent Glenns death and Carl threatens to shoot her.
Comic was wild.
Great reaction 👍
I was devastated while watching this episode. I always felt like Glenn was invincible..and the way he was killed so brutally, while his pregnant (and sick) wife watched.. 😩 😢 it still makes me sob
Anywayz Nomads thanks for this double episode upload!!!!! Yak ya'll are my fave!! ❤
It's beyond me that the one in the middle acted without any compassion for any character except 1 when 2 episodes before he was lecturing AJ because he was happy with the death of Denise, a character that everyone doesn't care about. It's not because you like Morgan that you have to start despising everyone who is not in his line of thinking and he is far from having always made the right decisions.
I remember how traumatized I was that day 😭😭😭😭
Lol
Guys, you've gotta remember something...in the episode where Denise dies, she said to Daryl and Rosita that she was gonna go no matter what, so they did the right thing by going with her.
100% this was gonna happen wether they helped the hilltop or they didn't, remember Abraham, daryl and Sasha ran into some saviors back when the horde thing happened, Alexandria has been on their radar since then cause they merked like 10 of them, I do think though that maybe it wouldn't have been as bad as this cause by now they've killed like 40 saviors
Of the reactors I watch a couple have done TWD before. I love the series. I have never seen a proper reaction to Episode7x1 because I can't watrch this episode again lol.6x16 is rough enough already knowing. great 16 reaction though and great 7.1 discussion.
Black hoodie guy's eyes like 0_0 as if he was in the line up lol
Trying to eliminate the Saviors was exactly the right plan, because they were gonna come for them regardless. Even if they'd scouted, done more research, whatever, this would've been the outcome. Yeah, Negan said he was gonna beat the holy hell outta one of them for killing all his men, but that's just to make him look like the victim. The group of bikers that stopped Daryl, Abe, and Sasha on the road? The leader made it clear that they usually kill one of them. When Dwight stopped Daryl, Rosita, and Denise on the tracks? He said the same thing. They were gonna go with them to Alexandria, kill one of them, then take what they wanted. The guys that stopped Carol on the road? They already knew where Alexandria was, they were on their way there. Negan introduces himself to communities with fear and violence, that's how he gets them to fall in line and stay in line. Was the food worth it? I mean, they had something to eat but this was gonna happen anyway. I usually agree with Ilias (sorry if I spelled it wrong), but at this point it seems like you're making your "was the food worth it" argument just to be right. Right or wrong, we're where we were gonna be anyway.
negan is actually him ngl
You guys just don't know How traumatized people were back in the day when we first saw this on TV and how much we hated Negan!
Basically they Negan people were coming for them. Every time they ran into them they legitimately were on their way to Alexandria.
This episode along with season 9 episode 15 were the most heartbreaking and emotional moments of this series.
I love the banter in the middle of both eps lol the black hoodie guy is the mediator haha.
Two of the best episodes of tv of all time
Love how they immediately noticed he’s Trevor 😂 1:54
Ngl all day yesterday I watched to see a post came in clutch fr
god i love negan
This is the first time I’ve seen the uncensored version and it is so much better this is literally my favourite show of all time and I’ve never seen this somehow
