Look Inside the Coming Resistance on The Walking Dead

You already know just how brutal the first half of The Walking Dead Season 7 was. Rick (Andrew Lincoln) had seemingly been broken, badly, by the ordeal Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) had put the group through. The sickening, preening murder of Glenn (Steven Yuen) and Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) was just the beginning. Negan put all of Alexandria under his command, and Rick had no choice but to do Negan’s bidding as the sociopathic warlord took Daryl (Norman Reedus) hostage and sent his goons (or arrived himself) to Alexandria to collect his taxes.

The Walking Dead Midseason Trailer Promises Resistance

This past season of The Walking Dead was brutal. We watched our favorite characters deal, in their different ways, with endless, appalling trauma. After the sociopath Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) ruled the roost, mocking, taunting and murdering the residents of Alexandria, the mid-season trailer promises that Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and company are ready to strike back.

After Negan monstrously killed Glenn (Steven Yuen) and Abraham (Michael Cudlitz), there was never going to be any true peace between him and our gang.

HBO’s Timely Carrie Fisher & Debbie Reynolds Doc Bright Lights Premieres Jan 7

Last year ended with the unexpected deaths of both Carrie Fisher (read our obit for her here) and her mother, Debbie Reynolds, just a day later. In a year that included the deaths of many icons, from David Bowie and Prince to Leonard Coen and Gene Wilder, losing both Fisher and Reynolds at the very end of the year felt unduly cruel.
