Fans were left aghast by the Walking Dead’s seventh season premiere, which saw two of the show’s favorite characters killed in gruesome detail.

The unrelenting and painful scene went as far as showing Glenn with one eyeball dangling from its socket.
Forbes called the killings “gross” and likened it to Shireen Baratheon’s burning at the stake by her father in Game of Thrones. Other Twitter users shared the sentiment:
