25 Biggest WTF TV Moments Of 2016

2. Glenn Dies - The Walking Dead

After season six's blood-soaked cliffhanger, the seventh season premiere finally revealed that Negan's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) choice of victim was Abraham (Michael Cudlitz), and he then follows up with the shocking slaugher of Glenn (Steven Yeun).

The scene's focus on gore, namely Glenn's eye-popping moment and his head subsequently being pulped with Lucille (along with a hand twitch) left fans reeling in an understandable state of shock. It didn't help that a bloodied Glenn desperately called out to Maggie (Lauren Cohan) that he would find her one day.

Some fans complained that the show went too far with essentially "torture porn", while others defended the gore-fest, claiming that the excessive violence heightened the emotional turmoil of seeing a beloved character killed off. Either way, holy s***.
