The Walking Dead gets a lot of guff for dragging things out in between big events, but when the crap finally hits the fan, it’s usually pretty satisfying. The big Savior attack on Rick and Maggie’s Hilltop community certainly applies. Not only did we get 30 minutes of intense fighting between the armies of Negan and Rick, we got another 30 minutes of the aftermath, which involved a whole lot of people turning into Walkers and eating people.
After so many episodes featuring characters brooding and chewing scenery, fans really got into all the action and destruction. I don’t think I’ve seen such a positive reaction in the past few seasons. Let’s start with the initial attack Simon brought to bear against the Hilltop.
THIS IS THE ALL OUT WAR THAT I’VE BEEN WAITING TO SEE!#TheWalkingDead

And then of course there’s Henry, everyone’s favorite psycho killer kid. It’s funny … for the past half season people have been noting how cold blooded he was, but in the end he wasn’t able to pull the trigger on the Saviors and ended up freeing them. Damn you, Henry. You can’t even be a creepy psycho properly. People rightfully piled on, and I think Henry may now officially be more hated than Sam, the original useless kid that screws everything up from season six.

Will Henry end up getting devoured like Sam did? The Internet can only hope.
