After an entire half-season of build up last night, The Walking Dead finally introduced Negan. The reveal landed with a resounding “thud,” and not the kind fans were hoping for. But long before those final moments left us all wanting, a lot of nonsensical puzzle pieces had to fall into place. So I have to ask: Are the Saviors magic? Warning: Spoilers Beyond This Point. Scarier than Terminus. More organized than the Governor. Better staying power than the Wolves. The Saviors were supposed to be the game-changing Big Bad™ that would upend the zombie world order as we know it. They’re supposed to be terrifying.

Just spit-balling here of course. Filming get underway today in Halifax, Nova Scotia. And for those wondering, Dave Brunt played the hobo in the trailer. [AICN]

Review: (Possible Spoilers ahead) First off, congratulations to Mad Men for picking up last night's "Best Drama" and "Best Writing in a Drama" Emmy Awards for the second year in a row. I wasn't watching them, as I generally don't watch most awards shows, because I was actually watching the best show on TV deliver another stellar episode. Not only was this one of the best episodes of the season, it was coupled with some of the tenderest and ridiculous moments in series history. Let's start at S/C: Guy MacKendrick walks into the office (hence the title being something literal, and...
