^ That design is pretty much how we all looked staring at the screen last night…the blood-spattered, faded-to-black-too-soon screen.
We wanted Negan and ho’boy, we got him. Negan’s reveal was pretty intense. But probably not as intense as the emotions we’ve all been left to deal with until next fall.
There was one tweet from the night that just summed up this episode and our feelings beautifully:

Let’s start out easy with some selfies. Because you gotta love the zombie selfies…plus they’re happy fun things that make us smile, unlike the ending of this episode.

Then, The Walking Dead gave us the best phrase since “Don’t Dead Open Inside,” “CORAL,” and Rick’s “Stuff n things.” Say hello to “Bitch Nuts.” Leave it to Abraham to have the best quotes of the show. He had a few other winning one-liners in this episode too, but “Bitch Nuts” pretty much takes the cake by default. In honor of Abraham, cue responses to one of our flash challenges: recipes with “bitch nuts”:
@threadless Dough-bitchnuts. oh I’m sorry, that was bad. #threadTWD — Hawke (@batmanjohnson) April 4, 2016
@threadless Granola, greek yogurt, honey & some berries top that off / a sprinkle of #bitchnnuts and BAM! Apocalypse parfait #ThreadTWD — MizzMegatron (@MegMKline) April 4, 2016

@threadless banana bitch nut muffins, the best way to start your day. — Alex (@alleycat2007) April 4, 2016
Our other flash challenge? Abraham-themed again. Of course. And although in hindsight we know the best book title for Abraham is undeniably “Cooking With Bitch Nuts,” here are Chapters in Abraham’s Book of Swears:

Then I don’t know if it was the stress of the imminent doom we faced at the end of this episode or what it was, but at some point in the episode, people got super obsessed with the horse our characters find in the episode:
Don’t get your knickers in a twist. That’s NOT Rick’s horse. (he’s long dead/eaten…spoilers) @WalkingDead_AMC #ThreadTWD #TheWalkingDead — Shannon (@jodfoster) April 4, 2016
Zombies attracted to noise…let me ride something that makes the most noise possible? Smart!! #THreadTWD — keith groshans (@keithgdesign) April 4, 2016
As if I didn’t have enough people to worry about now another horse? Horses don’t fare well in this world. #threadtwd #TWDFinale — Kelly MacDonaldMason (@Kelly_MacD) April 4, 2016
How is that horse still alive? #threadTWD — Nicole Oppenheim (@namoagogo) April 4, 2016
quit horsing around Morgan and find Carol #threadtwd #TWDFinale — renee hansen (@iowamamaof3) April 4, 2016
@alleycat2007 But if the *horse* tramples the guy… #threadTWD — Nicole Oppenheim (@namoagogo) April 4, 2016
And the moment of truth…oh man, you guys; dat Negan reveal. Between the whistling and the super creepy, heavy soundtrack that deserves a freakin’ award for how creepy and heavy it was, Negan got one hell of a reveal.

Man, he’s evil, but Negan is wearing the hell outta that jacket #threadtwd — Lindsey Pyne (@pynestuff) April 4, 2016
And thennn the ending…Our ThreadTWD fam had some feelings about that ending…or lack thereof:
Screw you #TheWalkingDead, we need to know!!! #ThreadTWD — Alex (@alleycat2007) April 4, 2016
I think I am done – my heart just broke #ThreadTWD — MizzMegatron (@MegMKline) April 4, 2016
