I agree with this, did the same for me.

They eyeball and the quivering body with a pile of mush brains might be the most brutal thing I've ever seen on tv.
AND I ****ING LOVED IT. Not in a sick way. In a opening scene of Saving Private Ryan way. That movie scene had me gripping my seat, and this episode did the same.

WD may be over in our house. We shall see.
For me, I couldn't watch the actual bat swings. I'm not in to torture-porn.
IMO the shock value of this episode was for this exact reason. They absolutely put the cast under Negan's thumb in the only way we would actually believe it. If they tried to convince us that a Rick or a Daryl would be subservient to Negan in any less of a manner we would see right through it. Not only did they break Rick, they broke us at the same time.Charlie Conway said:
This show was better when it was about characters developing into survivors and the internal struggle of keeping their morality opposed to the new reality they live in. Now the show just goes for the shock factor, not worth watching anymore IMO

I thought the axe out of the camper was simply poor editing. That was a wtf moment when they showed the axe on the roof. If it wasn't simply poor editing then we have a boomerang axe on our hands.
To be fair, the children who were eaten really, really needed to be eaten. I think this was worse because it was characters we actually liked being taken out by other humans on purpose instead of by a zombie hoard. Off the top of my head I can't really think of another character who fits both criteria except for Herschel, and maybe Beth. And Beth's death was a direct result of her amazing stupidity so that kind of made it less bad for me. Herschel's was quick and kind of shocking. It didn't have months of build-up, combined with a really tense 30 minute ordeal for everyone like this episode did.Lucky #007 said:
I'm not sure I get the complaints over the brutality. There've been children eaten on screen in this show. Yeah, it was rough, but I don't think it was the worst they've done.
