I can totally see a Negan/Rick alliance begrudgingly happening. Begrudgingly on Rick's part, I mean. Negan definitely respects him, and is even proud of the influence he has had on him. I don't think Negan could ever be redeemed, not in the conventional sense anyway - he sticks by his principles WAY too much for me to ever think that he'd acknowledge that what he's done is wrong or at the very least not in some way justified. I think he'd be willing to cooperate with Rick, though - he did pretty much come around to Rick's way of seeing things near the end of the war, after all. I think he'd put aside any misgivings in the interest of common welfare. Negan's not personally power hungry or self-interested, otherwise he'd have escaped from the cell long ago when it was left unlocked. I get the impression that he's only taking advantage of this escape opportunity because he thinks he might be able to prove himself to Rick.

Speaking of Spencer - some serious foreshadowing of that brutal moment in the comics. Spencer is already having doubts about whether Alexandria can take on the Saviors, and that'll screw him over in the end.

I also have no doubts that Jeffrey Dean Morgan is the right man for the character. I really, really hope the show does him justice. They've got all the elements in place to do so.

That is what's so great about Negan. Such a three dimensional character, there's definitely multiple layers to him. You need to go to Comixology and buy 145 - 152 so we can talk some more... Somethings coming up that I don't want to spoil for you. :D
 
Good episode. My favorite scene was between Morgan and Rick. Too tired to spoiler tag so I'll leave it at that.

Are we allowed to discuss episodes that have already aired without spoiler tags? I feel like anyone who is on a delayed watch schedule knows to stay out until they've seen it. Obviously, we should continue to spoiler tag things are predicted to happen in future episodes. I want to make sure I'm following proper protocol.

In my opinion if it's the day after an episode has aired it's fair game without spoiler tags. Like you said, people who haven't seen it yet should know better than to read this thread.

I agree, the scenes between Rick and Morgan were good.... Morgan isn't wrong, he's not exactly right either. But either way his philosophy will rub off on Rick to some degree, and you probably know why I say that by putting 2 and 2 together if you've been reading the spoilers between FortyTwo and I...

Interesting...

I'm not reading any reviews this week in case I read something I don't want to know.:p

They're kind of extreme opposites. Both has good points & neither is fully right or wrong but then what is right? Need to be in the middle somewhere I guess.

Getting a bit bored of people wandering around & getting ambushed/trapped & held hostage etc - yawn. It's pretty stupid tbh.

I'm curious, what would you have them do that would suck you in and captivate you? In other words, what do you think the show should be about?

It essentially *is* Days of Our Lives in an apocalypse. It being a zombie apocalypse isn't even relevant and hasn't been for a long time. Actually to take it a step further, I'm not sure if the undead ever were that relevant.

I've read them! :D I, er, bought, the ones I hadn't read yet. Uh-huh.

(I'm planning to buy the next volume as soon as it becomes available... and the next, and the next... They have my money, so I have no moral issues with, uh, blatantly stealing the comic online.)

I am so pumped for this finale... The show is about to change in a huge way and it's going to be great.

Issue #153 will be out about this time next week :)

So Brandon let Negan out of the cell... I have my doubts Negan will wander too far. I also still believe Negan will be an ally in the Alpha and the Whisperers arc.
 
Hahah... Audio from the final scene has been leaked and AMC is going absolutely ballistic over it.... It's great, Negan's lines are almost verbatim the comic...
