Well, that's bullshit. No way some prick like Neegan wouldn't have been fragged long ago if that's how he operates.

Wow...

Didn't see that happening. Surprised Glenn's head was smashed in. Maybe Negan will kill one more?

So many commercials. Lol, I always feel lost watching TV because I don't watch it anymore.

It looks as though they filmed all of the character death scenes in order to keep the secret as to who actually was offed. They used that extra footage as a "what if" scenario.

This may come across as a little wonky given that we're watching a show about zombies, but this Negan character comes across as too comic-booky and just isn't doing it for me. I get that he's from the comics, but not everything translates well from comics to screen. The whole episode I'm just thinking this guy is a bad caricature and so I'm having issues taking him seriously. A weird complaint I know, but just how he comes across to me.

Are we allowed to talk about the comics?

It has to do with Negan, Carl, a basement and boobies. Lol, u can't make this stuff up.

Considering the whole show is written poorly, it wasn't a surprise.

This caricature is far more entertaining than anything the show has offered in a while, so I'll take what I can get.

1. Wow. Brutal.
2. I'm probably gonna have some nightmares about the surprise shot to Glen's head with his eyeball popping out. For a moment, when they suddenly cut the camera to Glen after the first hit, I felt the sheer gut-sickening horror that Maggie felt. gj writers.
3. Both Glen & Abraham were 'fulfilled', so it does make sense that they can go. But if I were writing it, I would have picked Michonne.
4. I feel that even though everyone expected Glen due to the comics, they did him justice in the actual delivery. I don't feel ripped off that they chose to go with the comic's storyline route.

What I'm nervous about is whether or not they can keep the momentum up. They have a history of really strong openings, while the rest of the seasons peter out. I only watched part of the Talking Dead, but the producers said they're just getting started with the show.

No, it's not wonky because you have to abide by the rules of the storyworld. And I know what you mean...he was harsh, but he was a little too simple, a little too cut & dry. The thing that made the Governor work was that he was believable...a guy who wanted to save his zombie daughter & had built a town of people he cared for. Negan came off as a bit of a caricature because he's untouchable. They walk a fine line...if everyone in his crew has been through what Rick's group just went through, then that 110% explains the loyalty to him. It's like why none of the Germans killed Hitler...not because there weren't people who disagreed with him, but they knew the consequences of doing so. On the flip side...we know that every excursion outside of the gates is a question mark, a dice roll.

And here goes Negan driving through the fog, surrounded by a hoarde of zombies, completely untouchable, gun never jammed up, no sneaky zombies grabbing his arm through the window, pushing Rick through this try-to-break-him experience inch by inch with so many variables that could go wrong, when he really needs Rick in order to have a leader for his people to produce for Negan. I think that's what you're talking about...he gets a free pass to skate by & be invincible when literally no one else in the show has ever been in that position. He has too much mystical power & control over situations.

to me that is what a comic book uber villain is all about.
