Premier Episode Of The Walking Dead Season Seven: The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be

​Eenie Meenie Miney Mo, I’m bored of this stupid show.

Premier Episode Of The Walking Dead Season Seven: The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be

Finally, after the cliffhanger no one liked or wanted, we get an answer to who Negan Eenie Meenie Miney Mo-ed. And in my Season Six B Review, I started to list out the events of this episode, only to realize half way through that none of what I was writing happened yet! I got a little ahead of myself, forgetting we had to wait all summer, after waiting an hour and a half, with only 10 minutes being dedicated to the new big bad the entire season had been hyping up, to never get that answer.

And does this premier episode open on the person getting hit? No it doesn’t! Instead, we get some more filler just avoiding the answer. Ignoring the fact that Negan assigns three words to each person, having no clue how the game works, it takes almost 14 minutes until we finally see who it was; It was Abraham. “He just took one, or six or seven for the team” (Gimple). It was 18. He took 18 for the team, I counted.

Then Negan taunts some more until Daryl’s had enough and punches him. So then Negan says “that’s a no no” (Gimple) and naturally kills Glenn just for kicks 18 minutes in? He wants to punish Daryl and make him a slave, as we see later on. Okay fine, don’t kill him. But then why kill Glenn, he just screamed once. Was it just to add more shock to the audience giving a two for one deal since A) they messed up Negan’s introduction last season and B) this is an iconic moment from the comics, they need to do something special?

Ultimately, that brings a bigger question: Why waste all that time with Season Six A teasing a Glenn death only to actually kill him here. They should have just done it then. His character had no further development in that time, and they even faked his death again when he first returned to Alexandria. But instead, Negan does it here, with a less impressive 17 whacks this time. Some might argue that’s overkill, but Negan’s a bit of a firecracker and wants to make a good first impression, as he does mention.

But you know what? After he hits Abraham once, Abraham says “suck my nuts” (Gimple) and Negan is amazed by this.

Then he hits him all those other times and finally gets onto Glenn after dilly dallying around. But then after two hits, Glenn is still there. Barely functioning, but he’s there.

Negan is surprised. Two times in a row, his surprised the guy gets back up. You know what, maybe you just hit like a pussy Negan, ever consider that? Follow up question: who cleans this bat afterwards? It always looks new, but some blood and skin I’d imagine would get caught against the wood and barbed wire. Does he replace the barbed wire each time? So many questions, so little answers.

Moving on, they threaten to cut off Carl’s hand off. Just sprout a set of grapes and do it! Make something unexpected happen. But the thing that really impressed me, was that Daryl’s punch didn’t complete destroy Negan, or that instead of saying “suck my nuts” (Gimple), Abraham didn’t just huff and puff and blown Negan 30 feet away into the night sky.

Negan nearly falls over after turning Glenn’s head into oatmeal. Sure, 17 swings take a lot out of you, but he almost falls over. Not to mention from a side profile he’s the same depth as a surf board.

I still maintain they should have casted someone else. My choice, Andrew Dice Clay. Look up his nursery rhymes and tell me I’m wrong. He’s the perfect choice for Negan. He even has his own version of Eenie Meenie Miney Mo. A far superior take on it, if you ask me.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
