Okay, give me some credit for trying.
I TRIED to watch the premiere...I really tried.....but about halfway through I gave up.
First, it was an exercise in utter fanwankery. They killed off Glenn and Abe really for no other reason than that they died in the comics. And then they had Negan torture Rick and Rick (now we have submissive shemale Rick) bowing to Negan.
Second, when you kill main characters it doesn't work too well if the character is unlikeable (Abe) or one who you teased killing for two seasons (Glenn). After what Abe did to Rosita why should anyone care about him? Which leads to...
It's not a very good idea to kill off the only likable character on the show. Namely Glenn. Who exactly are the viewers supposed to identify with now? All the rest of the group are drama queens. It makes it really hard to care at all about the characters.
