Yea. WTF was that all about. That was bizarre. ( With regards to the Hatchet being on top of the RV )

How's everybody feeling today??? What an episode last night. Wow! Most intense episode of the series for me hands down. Now it makes even more sense why they left the cliff hanger at the end of last season. We got two deaths instead of just one and I was thinking first Rick and then Carl might lose a hand before the episode was done. Absolutely brutal, but that is exactly what Negan represents. He rules through fear and force and now Rick and the group fear him. I couldn't believe how graphic the beatings were, especially Glenn's. We got the scene from the comic with his popped out eye and tryign to say good bye to Maggie. Yeah, I admit I haven't been the biggest Glenn fan lately, but you had to get a little choked up at his death scene and words to Maggie. Curious to see how this plays out now. So glad this show is back!

That one was really easy to pick up on. Even I noticed it right away. LOL!
I was thinking, OK maybe Negan has a mean hookshot and tossed it up there.

He did toss it on the roof.
i think the Governor cutting Hershel's head was up there in shock value. not as brutal but still, the people saying good bye to the show, did they miss all the horrific zombie eating deaths? like Tyler James death scene? that was horrible.
this episode was definitely sentimental but i cannot understand how the people on twitter lasted 6 seasons of gore until now
I had been looking for an excuse to quit the show and last night gave it to me. I have no interest in watching "Hostel - The Series."

That's what I was thinking as well. I thought it made a clank like it was hitting metal as it landed.

That wasn't an editing error. He recovered the hatchet in his initial attack on the zombies, and climbed up on top of the RV to escape, reminisce, and cry. He grabbed it off the RV and ran when Negan started shooting ... and accidentally dropped it when he ran/ jumped to the walker hanging from the overpass. So, he had to find it again.
He recovered the hatchet twice.
Edit ... nevermind, partially. I just rewatched it. Negan threw it directly on the roof, not into the herd. Rick did grab it and drop it while he was swinging from the overpass walker, though.
Still. Not an error.

I just watched it again online, Negan throws the hatchet on the roof of the RV. Like Darth Madden said, it makes a loud clang. Rick KNOWS it's on the roof. That's why when he's thrown out of the RV he runs to the back of the vehicle (while fighting off zombies) to get to the ladder that leads to the roof where the hatchet is.

I can't wait to see the faces on those Daryl-lovers when he bites the dust. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate him, he's one of my favorite characters, but to hear that no one blamed him for Glenn's death on the Talking Dead poll...?? I still like the way everything played out, it was great from a storytelling standpoint, but he was TOTALLY to blame for Glenn meeting Lucille I like Norman's response to the whole thing, I hope they do include that on the show, how Daryl is dealing with the guilt of his actions that resulted in his befallen brother.

Yes, in reference to the hatchet to confirm and clarify, Negan did throw it on top on the roof of the RV.

OK, all good. I'll definitely rewatch the entire episode, but still... that's a mean hookshot!
Loved the episode by the way.

I found this to be a somewhat poorly written and directed episode, when compared to what TWD is at its best. After so many months of teasing all of us who aren't familiar with the comic, the big reveal was unnecessary dragged out. It's not like the audience was going to go anywhere. I think opening up the episode right at the killing would have been that needed gut punch right from the get-go. Everyone wanted to know "who", so why not immediately throw them that bone. Even though the character was one of my current favorites, it wasn't a huge surprise. Then just when everyone was coming to accept it and breath a sigh of relief, then you hit 'em with that second murder. And while for me that was the harder one to take, due to the direction it didn't have the anguishing emotional execution it could have. It was sad, yes, but it didn't rip the heart out. In my opinion the writers made the point of the episode about breaking Rick, and as a result the deaths actually got somewhat lost. They should have either made it a 90-minute episode or split it into two episodes. I think a full episode focused on the murders and the group struggling with horror of that night, all still contained within that night would have been much more powerful and emotionally draining. Instead you get this time jump to foggy dusk and teases in flashback. If they had contained it all to the night, It could have then ended on Rick telling Negan "I'm gonna kill you" just as dusk is starting to break. Then the following episode could have all been about completely breaking Rick. I'm sure it got the numbers nevertheless. I would just rank it as a middling episode, which is surprising for an episode that offs two major characters.

I actually think it was worse than an Eli Roth film. Usually even in the most brutal of films there is still SOME sense, however small, of catharsis at the end. Somebody escapes, gets revenge, kills or hurts the bad guy in some substantial way, *something.* Last night's episode was just an exercise in vulgar nihilism, relishing in manipulative gore, serving NO purpose than these two things: 1. Make you feel horrified and hopeless and sad and 2. Make you hate Negan so that you can enjoy his comeuppance umpteen episodes or years from now. Nothing else. To me that isn't entertainment. And I can handle gore in other contexts. The worst moment of the episode wasn't even the brain bashing for me, it was sequence with Carl's hand. That was repulsive in its manipulative cruelty and I don't even give two rips about Carl. It was just having my mind "go there" as a dad. Despicable. All IMO of course. I'll semi-monitor the show for spoilers from time to time but I have purged all scheduled recordings from my DVR.
It was truly a great show for a time.

Not surprising, even though I'd avoided the spoiler thread, I'd still heard it was going to be those characters for weeks.
I was more on edge over the "hand" scene.
