Three episodes after Negan bashed in the skulls of Glenn and Abraham, we finally start to deal with the fallout for Rick and the rest of the Alexandrians.

The place is a Safe Zone no more, as Negan and his Saviours rock up to collect their bounty - half of everything they have (and it turns out that half is dictated by Negan, rather than maths).

The episode is an extra long one, and spends most of that extended run time taking Negan through Alexandria, showing him stripping the inhabitants of everything they own. In between that there are pauses for brief sojourns with both Michonne and Rosita, but mostly it's another episode of Season 7 stuck in one location.

After two pretty good weeks, this one hues closer to the Season 7 premiere - and not for the better. Service has a few really solid moments, but overall feels like a bit of a drag.
