You’ll never look at a baseball bat the same after Negan’s brutal introduction in The Walking Dead Season 6 finale. Negan pulls the ultimate power move in front of Rick, forcing all the people Alexandria’s leader cares about to their knees as he uses a children's game to decide their fate.
[WARNING: THE WALKING DEAD SEASON 6 FINALE SPOILERS AHEAD]
“Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Catch a tiger by his toe. If he hollers, let him go. My mother told me to pick the very best on and you… are… … it,” Negan said. “Anybody moves, anybody says anything, cut the boy’s other eye out and feed it to his father and then we’ll start. You can breathe, you blink, you can cry, hell, you’re all gonna be doing that.”
Sounds of a skull breaking with shrieks from onlookers beginning, Negan is forcefully dismantling the head of a TWD character. You experience the horror of a Lucille death sentence through the first-person view of Negan chosen victim.
And then The Walking Dead pulls one of its “fakeouts” as a total f-you to its viewers. To make things worse, as Negan begins his assault, we hear the words “Ma-gg-ie.” So, it’s Glenn, right? Negan killed Glenn? Who else would call out Maggie’s name as they’re taking their last breath? Hiding the identity of Negan’s victim does a disservice to The Walking Dead fans who had to sit through 90 minutes of bullsh*t. Who knows.
