The Walking Dead wrapped up 2016 with arguably one of their best episodes in the entire series. From start to finish, "Hearts Still Beating" was superb in all aspects. Throughout the episode, there was a large amount of action, strong dialogue, suspense, and a whole lot of tension. I found myself on the edge of my seat for virtually the whole 85 minutes.
The scenes with Negan were riveting. This may have been Jeffrey Dean Morgans best episode to date. It was good to see a different side of his character after Rosita shot Lucille while trying to kill him. While it was easy to predict Negan killing Spencer, the overall sequence was particularly suspenseful and highly satisfying. I don't know too many people who actually liked Spencer's character.
It was particularly satisfying to see Rick snap out of his rut and stop worshiping Negan. The scene with him and Michonee might be the highlight of the season so far I really hope we see a more consistent and stronger Rick Grimes in the second half of this season.
I was a little disappointed Morgan and Carol were not main contributes in this episode. It is also hard to watch Carol's character when she is in "leave me alone" mode all the time. I hope to see Carol, Morgan, and also King Ezekiel more consistently in 2017.
Overall, Hearts Still Beating was riveting from beginning to end. It was easily the best episode of the season. I am especially looking forward to the second half of season 7.
