The Walking Dead, Bringing on the Tears

Warning: several spoilers included!

The Walking Dead, Bringing on the Tears

One of the most anticipated tv seasons of the year has finally arrived...season seven of "The Walking Dead." After season six's excruciating cliff hanger, fans have been waiting, theorizing, and hoping for a positive outcome for their favorite characters. Who did Negan kill? Everyone was desperate to find out and now, we got our answer.

The producers shocked us all by not only killing off one major character, but two. And fans everywhere are not happy.

At first when Abraham died, many people happily accepted it. Of course we were all upset and sad, but you know, we can accept Abraham dying. He wasn't with us from the beginning. He wasn't the most loving character. He could even be a bit annoying in my opinion. But adding Glenn to it? I think fans everywhere were outraged.

How can they kill Glenn? The most beloved character? He had everything: Maggie, a baby on the way, good leadership skills, etc. They already convinced fans he died at the beginning of season six, why bring in another round of tears by actually killing him??

Okay, Glenn aside, the rest of the episode I thought was a great start to the season. Especially after dropping those two big bombs of death, the producers gave us a lot of time to process all the horrible things happening in the episode. Now, Rick and the gang have to provide for Negan and his people, suffer the loss of two great characters, and come up with a plan on how to (I'm assuming they will) defeat Negan.

I think what really threw people was the graphic violence. Not only physically, but mentally! We saw the graphic deaths of Abraham and Glenn, but we also saw the horrible things Negan expects of them. Almost making Rick chop off his son's hand?! Imagine what Rick was going through mentally!

Then to top it all off, the emotional ending was tough. Seeing Maggie lose it and the dinner scene with Abraham and Glenn (and the baby!) before carrying them both away was incredibly tough. On top of that, we all see Daryl, a fan favorite, was taken by Negan and will be held captive. It will be interesting to see how everything with him plays out.

This season is definitely going to be a different one. The entire tone has changed and everything has become much darker. Some people have even said this season is sort of like the start of a whole new show. Everything is going to change now. Rick won't be the leader and that entire concept is completely new. It will be very interesting to see how the group handles everything. I can foresee people disagreeing with how Rick will work with them, which will probably create some tension among all of them.

This seasons is definitely going to be a good one. Despite the horrific outcome everyone was anticipating, we will get through it (well, maybe). The rest of this season will be intense, anticipating, and I'm sure keeping everyone at the end of their seats!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
