The first half of The Walking Dead’s seventh season was a slog.
It was even bleaker and more violent than usual, with hero Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) completely beaten down by monstrous bad guy Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).
The Walking Dead returns Sunday, Feb. 12 at 9/8c on AMC.
I seriously doubt there’s going to be any lighthearted merriment on The Walking Dead, but maybe he means that Rick’s not going to be so deferential to Negan anymore.
