Huh? Part of her little speech was clearly about her feeling guilty that they all went out there on her account.
At the same time she is also furious at the man actually responsible for the murders; you know, the guy who did them.
Maggie stood right there and took blame by saying that she was the reason that everyone was out there.
Represent.

WOW. Incredible episode.
How can a fan not be satisfied with that?

Here's the issue:
*SPOILER WARNING FOR WALKING DEAD FANS*
*SPOILER WARNING FOR WALKING DEAD FANS*
You have everyone thinking Glenn is dead around the halfway point last season with the biggest bullshit ever in a show. There's a nice convenient dumpster for Glenn to crawl under, and he's conveniently small enough to make his way under it. No way they kill Glenn in the lineup now, right? Even with the knowledge of the comic death. We let the dumpster thing go as loyal fans, and you kill him anyway in the S7 Ep1 premiere. I really didn't want to believe the rumors months ago, but they played out exactly how those rumors did. Negan is an awesome character and JDM is a beast, but this was a slap in the face to your fans IMO

God damn, what an episode. I knew it was going to be bad but not like that.
I love how they did Abe in first and made it relatively quick and even comical with his last "suck my nuts" line. At that point it's like okay, it was Abe which kinda sucks and I feel bad for Sasha but he's not a super fan favorite and I can live with it. Then Daryl makes that brain dead move (I hate him now, he better go on quite the rampage this season to make up for this) and Glenn goes down so fast that I'm just in complete shock. Of course they drag out his death and just seeing his face telling Maggie he'll find her was just brutal. His body twitching at the end was just icing on the cake.
At the time I was in too much shock to be emotional. When they showed the dinner dream with Glenn holding his baby and looking at Abe smiling was when it started to hit me and I got a little choked up.

I presume that was not an admission of guilt for having sided against Negan sight-unseen, but an acknowledgement that they were only there because of her health/miscarriage issues.

Nice catch!
She thinks they went out there because she was sick, not because she made the bull-headed decision to take on Negan without understanding his power.
I don't see that as any real admission of guilt. If Maggie had actually realized that she grossly underestimated Negan, she wouldn't have been urging them to immediately commence warfare. Even Rick sees that they are outnumbered and outgunned. Maggie's regret is only that she fell ill, not that she pushed for conflict when she should not have.

Not in a million year could I have predicted that these would be our only survivors from S1 so far (apart from Rick and Carl).
Carol is next isn't she T_T

That's why it was so effective

Probably.
AMC knows it's breadwinners and won't pull the trigger on someone like Daryl before they're forced to.

Great episode. I'm so anxious right now.
Show has balls again.
I still get the impression Negen believes that the human race needs to care less about each other and mostly focus on survival, hence the lack of retaliation
And who knows what Negen is thinking. Dude likes playing mind games so he might have already made his choice before Deryle retaliated.
And don't expect pregnant women to be submissive.

I still hope Maggie kills Negan. Would be fitting.
The way they did glen man... he didn't deserve to go down like that, what was he trying to say to Maggie?
Shit sucks dude, I loved glen, one of my favorites... I need Darryl and Rick to fuck up negan for that shit. Abe really grew on me too. This show got me hype again.
I feel like it's gonna be way to different with glen but we'I'll see.

Tbh if you go back and watch seasons 1 and 2 of TWD the acting was pretty mediocre as well lol. Especially Ricks actor he has improved so much with his southern accent.

Loved it. Will be interesting to see how the pacing goes from here.

This is not a comic spoiler, but based on her current portrayal I fully believe Maggie will be the first person in the group to murder someone in Negan's group. She will kill, lie down to have the baby, get up and then kill some more. Her character is justifiably that mad right now.

exactly my thoughts, well said
nah, fuckouttahere - that's what he was in the book. if anything this take on him is a bit more interesting than "post apocalyptic andrew dice clay"
he doesn't get nearly as interesting until the story gets further along

Negan and his charisma are truly terrifying. I was tense as shit for that whole hour, dude kept me on edge the whole time

I didn't think I would be affected regardless of who was killed, but that line almost got me. Ugh.

People should know that this is entirely Rick's fault for meddling with business between Hilltop's colony and The Saviors.
Negan and The Saviors didn't have any beef with Rick's crew until Rick started going after them purposely.

What a masterful episode. The show may not always deliver but when it does... like holy crap. I've seen a LOT of horror movies and I would still say this episode was brutal and intense. I also found it rather heartbreaking and emotional as someone who has been with the show since the beginning.
I have high hopes for this season and so far the premiere certainly delivered.

goddamn, i thought "muh....muh...Maggie!!" in the book was bad enough, fucktrue, but following the book, the arc was all about them finding out there's a whole world out there, and you get the impression that negan & his people would've come knocking eventually, even if they stayed within their community (which they clearly wouldn't have)

Umm, there's an alternate death scene of Negan killing Maggie. Jesus Christ...

They filmed alternate death scenes for all of the characters iirc.

Come knocking eventually? Yes. But not with Negan's full rage mode. Rick and his crew did kill a whole lot of Negan's men just because Rick thought they were bunch of thugs with hot air. Not only that angered Negan but Rick got both Abe's and Glenn's head bashed in.
The whole set up was to break down Rick just to teach him a lesson.

was 1 for 2
Edit: man this episode was fantastic...milked the deaths for the first like 15 minutes but then shit got REAL!!! they totally fooled us with the throw-away kill with Abraham(lets be honest....no one really was going to miss Abe) and then threw us not a bone but a fucking T-bone steak!!! Glenn.....R.I.P
Negan was absolutely fantastic! the totally nailed his comic persona!!!
Yeah I wish he put on some weight, he's skinny as fuck. Maybe over the course of the season he puts on a few pounds and eventually shaves the beard, that would be rad.

Really? Man, I can't watch my boy Carl get brutally killed in front of Rick...
That was needlessly cruel. If Rick had actually had to go through with the arm chop, the show would just be a cartoon. They don't get to be a horrific cruel murder fiesta and this serious character study about what it means to survive at the same time. They can't have both, and at this point I don't know if I can be asked to really give a damn about any of the remaining characters.
