So Tara is in for a rough homecoming. Her girlfriend's dead as is a third of GREATM... the very first two people she met from our group. Oh, and a complete psychopath has taken over Alexandria.

All I know is that one episode from this season HAS to open up like this scene from the comics (spoilers that really don't spoil anything):

Comic spoilers and possible show spoilers Does anyone think Dwight is going to turn against Negan in the show? I could go both ways on this one. First, his burned face shows that he has SOME defiance, and therefore he doesn't follow Negan completely.
However, I don't think Daryl could work with him after everything he's done. The show is really making Dwight more of a villain than he was in the comic at this point, so it's a lot harder to see him working with the group now. Like I know he still killed Abe in the comic, but that could just be written off as them being on opposite sides. But in the show Dwight was basically taunting Daryl after killing Denise, and seemed like he was eager to kill Daryl after he punched Negan in the premiere. And honestly I can't really remember what Daryl ever did to him to make Dwight hate him so much.
I still hope they go through with Dwight turning on Negan and joining the group though... Dwight has become one of my favorite characters in the comic and it would be a shame if he doesn't live up to his full potential in the show.

Also, I feel like people have been complaining about the TV Show not having any balls (which was pretty reasonable during season 6) and saying that they should push the boundary more like Game of Thrones, but now that they did people/critics are flipping out about it. I don't remember this much controversy over the Red Wedding or that trial by combat in Game of Thrones, which were both extremely violent and gruesome.

I have no problem with how the show did everything in the last episode. Like I said before, I wouldn't have killed Abraham, but his death was still well done. He never backed down from Negan, took one like a champ for all his friends, and had some awesome last words. I also believe the theory that choosing Abe wasn't random, but Negan saw that he had to take this guy out now because he was the biggest guy there/was probably going to be a problem. And the part where Negan taunted Rosita with Abe's blood (causing Daryl to punch him) was an awesome addition from the comics. And Glenn's death was everything I had come to expect after reading that issue four years ago. Was the violence a little much? Yes, but that's the whole point. Rick killed his best friend, Maggie watched a psychopath cut off her father's head with a sword, Daryl had to put down his own brother, Michonne lost her entire family, Rosita and Eugene lived through hell trying to get to Washington... something truly horrible and disgusting had to happen to break these characters and put over Negan as a threat they had never seen before.
Though after the reactions some people have had to this episode, I guess I understand why the showrunners decided to cut a lot of that Governor stuff out of the show.

Killing Abe felt like a waste and an attempt at adding more shock value. Glenn would have been plenty and there was still plenty for Abe to do. At least they gave him a better death than the arrow. And he went down with another Abrahamism. So I'll give them props for that. JDM and Andrew Lincoln were on point in this episode. I'll be really disappointed if Daryl (comic spoilers) Gets Carl's story with Negan. Like they already have his thing with Dwight and guilt over causing Glenn's death, are they really going to give him Carl's sh*t too? Having so many characters take a backseat so Daryl can continue brooding and mumbling has gotten really tiring over the past few seasons.

Rhyno and his dedication to his love of crackers has been the best thing about WWE this year

Jason Jordan refusing to tag in Gable was awesome. Great match. The Usos have been great as heels.

u can have Austin Aries vs Samoa Joe...legit...in a WWE videogame Don't forget to throw in AJ Styles for some extra fun. And if we're lucky we can add Bobby Roo.

Really good opening segment. Becky continues to be one of my favorites in the company. Probably only behind Rusev and AJ at this point.

i know like good guy vs bad guy stuff has been going on for years but like, could we at least get a build to Rollins and Reigns becoming best friends again? it really is like they think that complete ing morons watch their show every week. why the hell would Rollins save Reigns? so just because he's a "good guy" now he has to buddy up with Roman, ffs im SO TIRED of this company trying to make Roman Reigns the focus of every show. just STOP IT I was dumbfounded that they didn't have a "moment" between Roman and Seth at the end after Seth saved him. Seth turned heel by hitting Roman in the back with a steel chair! Shouldn't saving Roman from Owens and Rusev be the moment that defines his redemption and face turn? How do they just gloss over this without a second thought? The two of them could've just stared at each other as they struggled to comprehend that Seth actually saved him. But nothing. They just laid in the corner while Cole talked about the Universal title.

I've never cared much for the Hardys nor have I been able to get into TNA that much in the past few years, but Broken Matt has been one of my favorite parts of 2016 so far.

Ambrose laid out his babyface tag team partner. Him getting booed for that isn't odd at all. Even if it was John Cena. Dean has been walking the tweener line for quite some time now. They were in Philadelphia though!! Those fans should have been cheering Ambrose like crazy for that! I don't think the WWE expected that reaction at all. I agree that they probably weren't expecting that reaction, Dean has done that to other faces before without getting booed. But Philly was also the place that popped like crazy for Roman's title reign so they don't always react the way you assume they will.

Another solid performance by the women of Smackdown! It just goes to show that the women on Smackdown are being used much better, and wrestling better matches than what we see on Raw. At least on Smackdown they showcase all the women, where as on Raw they just mainly have it center around Sasha, Charlotte and Bayley. I love Sasha, Charlotte, and Bayley but SmackDown has really used all of their women to the best of their ability and the division is just so much stronger for it, which makes everyone look better.

American Dad is like the anti-Family Guy - it actually keeps getting better with time. American Dad is the only MacFarlane show I like

While I am glad AJ Styles is the champion and he certainly deserves it with the way he has gotten over and the performances he has had. But does any one else think that Ambroses behaviour or just the way he came across in that interview with Austin may have sped up them taking the belt off him? I don't think so. AJ is hot right now after beating Cena clean so it made sense to put the title on him. They needed to capitalize on the big win from SummerSlam, and they couldn't have AJ lose another title match.
