The latest episode of long-running fantasy series Supernatural just featured an easter egg that would have had generated feverish excitement among the Walking Dead fandom.
The opening shot of season 12 episode ‘Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell’ saw lead character Dean (Jensen Ackles) holding Lucille, the barbed-wire-wrapped baseball bat that famously belongs to Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s malevolent Saviours’ leader Negan in the AMC zombie series.
In The Walking Dead, Negan used Lucille to beat two fo the show’s lead characters to death in the traumatic season seven premiere.
The latest Morgan-centric episode of The Walking Dead was a sequel-of-sorts to one of the show’s greatest instalments; you can read our review here.
