The Walking Dead (AMC, Sunday 9:00 p.m.) – Let’s all take a second and make sure we have our respective anxiety meds in hand because sh*t is going down. We’ve been promised 90 minutes of shocking twists and brutal deaths and after everything TWD pulled with Glenn this season, they better deliver on both. Negan makes his grand entrance with Lucille in tow as Rick and the group fight to rescue Michonne, Glenn, Daryl, probably Rosita, Carol and maybe Maggie’s baby. Though, and this is just being realistic here, we’ll probably be left clueless as to who winds up on the end of the psychopath’s bat when everything fades to black.
Saturday Night Live (NBC, Saturday 11:30 p.m.) – Peter Drunklage Peter Dinklage has returned to hosting duties this week, and if those promos warning us that “Summer is Coming” didn’t get you excited for repeat Drunk Uncle sketches, or have you binge-prepping for the return of Game of Thrones, I’m a bit worried for you.
