Yeah man, but there's a tiger this season. Until I see a tiger rip apart some zombies, I feel my life won't be complete.

He had that whole "I am ready to have kids" moment with Sasha in the camper earlier in the episode and that may have fore-shadowed his death. Also, the first hit from the bat did not kill him or knock him out as Negan exclaimed "you took that like a man" (or close to that). Abraham has a big ole skull that might take a hit without popping like a ripe melon. If it were Glenn it would have been a one hit TKO :)

They went over this in Talking Dead and they have known for a couple years, and the actors knew 8 months ago and couldn't say anything. That stuff was all shot last season.

From what they said (Kirkman and Gimple), the entire show changes now, and pretty much the last season was lead up to get to this crossroad in the story.

Personally, I look forward to the season, but I think they crossed the line in the graphic violence department with that episode. The gore and violence in this show is fine, normally, sometimes overdone, but tolerable and at worst just not to my taste. I think this is mostly because it is either an animal (zombies aren't people any more) vs man, or violence between people with the end desire to win a fight or maybe to hit you hard emotionally. Even the hardest scenes to watch before this were still done within those bounds. But what they showed in this episode was basically a graphic display of torture and torment that was simply not necessary. I felt like I had accidentally turned on a video of a Muslim cutting off a Christian man's head, something that repulses me at the deepest levels. It was too personal and graphic and in extremely poor taste. Not only was I repulsed by the scene, I was angry for them crossing the line, and it kept me from even caring that they killed off a major character. Ruined the rest of the episode for me.

Hopefully the backlash from it (and there is a lot of outcry over that scene) will keep them in line. There are places where it is entertaining for them to push the boundaries, but this is just not one of them.

Howard_Casto:
I hope you are joking. It's a horror tv show, there is supposed to be blood and gore. Also it's all pretend. The rubber head they used for the scene looked fake as all get out.

That aside the comic book death is quite graphic and they are just mirroring that. It's supposed to be... you are supposed to care about Glen.
