And you thought things were bleak before onThe Walking Dead.

But this was one of those where its like, Oh, f. Here we go.
It was definitely not a joyous reunion.
So I guess the next question then becomes: What are you guys delivering with episode 701?
What can you say in terms of the season premiere?
I mean, its a brand new world right now.
Its a complete change of power.
The world is completely turned upside down.
What is this death going to do to the group?
It affects the group completely differently.
You know, everyone, it affects them differently.
There are people questioning it.
There are people pointing their fingers.
There are people blaming themselves.
Other things happen that completely destroy people.
The group is completely broken apart at this point.
Negan has come in and completely shaken up everything.
Loyalties are broken, belief in one another, belief in ourselves.
Each individual is completely broken, and they dont all handle it the exact same way.
