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.
