He did seem to love it back when everyone believed he was leading them to a cure and were going all out to protect him as "precious cargo". He was miserable when everyone found out that he was a fraud. And that smile now that he's with another group who believe that he's a real scientist with multiple PhDs again...

Didn't really like this episode, Negan is too annoying and the whole Negan scenario is just not believable, he's one guy and he's awful to pretty much everyone, i just don't buy their loyalty to him

I don't know, I think at least this episode showed that his followers DO want him dead and some are actively plotting against him, which makes more sense. Still not a huge amount of sense as someone would have succeeded by now... but more sense than before. Also I think it's starting to become pretty clear that Dwight will turn on Negan at some point, he's already shown being willing to lie to him and manipulate him (telling him that his wife was killed, also framing the doctor for Daryl's release) so I think it's likely that when it all comes to a head and he realises that there is a real challenge against Negan's dominance... he will quickly flip sides, possibly taking a group of other current Negan followers with him.

I didn't understand why he wanted to frame the Doctor though, that one puzzled me, it wasn't like it was helping his wife anymore or anything

Because of Negan being who he is, he NEEDS to punish "someone" for something going so wrong. Negan doesn't really care who it is. Since it couldn't be the person who really did it... it would probably have been Dwight as the closest person to her, if he hadn't offered up an alternative.

right ok that makes sense I guess

Christian Serratos is pregnant so I'm not sure how this will impact the show

Season 7 has finished but season 8 isn't due to start filming until May

Spoiler:

In the comics Rosita actually becomes pregnant, but not sure they would do that so soon after Maggie

[Cal.]

Spoiler:

Seen speculation that either (or a combination of) Sasha, Rosita or Tara will die in the season finale when they take on Holly and Denise's deaths (?) (not sure the ins and outs) from the comics.

[Cal.]

Spoiler:

On further reading, in the comics Holly (an Alexandrian) storms The Sanctuary's gates after The Saviours kill Abraham and is captured and killed by Negan after killing several of his men when he mistakes her for Andrea. She is then returned to Alexandria with a bag over her head so they don't know she's turned and she ends up biting and killing Denise who runs to her aid.

I'm guessing either Sasha or Rosita are the ones who take on Holly's death as they both have a similar story line running at the moment in wanting to get revenge for Abraham's death (many people are guessing Sasha since Negan could mistake her for Michonne, who has taken on the role of Andrea in the TV show) - and then Tara will get Denise's death which will be kind of fitting considering they were romantically linked on the show.

Spoiler:

AMC better be prepared for the messy race rows if they do that since Michonne and Sasha are different skin tones

Spoiler:

I thought this. And apparently they removed the racial element from the comics regarding Negan sacrificing Michonne in the show (in the comics Negan doesn't beat Michonne to death because he doesn't want to be branded a racist or something?) so I doubt they'd do this. If it Sasha who dies (and it's very likely considering the actress is joining a new project) then they'll probably remove the mistaken identity element.

[Amy Jade]

Spoiler:

The show killed off Holly when the Wolves attacked so I had a feeling one of the remaining ladies would take her role in attacking Negan. My guess is it being Sasha as Sonequa has a starring role in Star Trek: Discovery so I can't see her being able to do both shows.

Christian being pregnant may not be an issue, Alana survuved her irl pregnancy on the show

Spoiler:

That's a good point about Christian. They couldn't kill her off/effectively sack her for being pregnant. I reckon Rosita will go off to live in another community then for like the first half of season 8 so she's less prominent.

Also, I'm all caught up. The first 3 seasons are thoroughly enjoyable for me. I'm not much for season 4 or 5 but they do have some good episodes but I think the show really picked back up when they got to Alexandria.

[Cal.]

Spoiler:

Apparently the Junkyard group eventually side with Negan.

[Firewire]

Spoiler:

i think Rosita will go to find Eugene and will end up becoming one of Negan's wives

[Cal.]

Spoiler:

That's a good shout. That's very likely. If they did some clever shots like they did with Tara where they hid the baby bump it could be a very plausible way of getting Rosita out of the action whilst Christian's heavily pregnant/on maternity leave.

[Cal.]

Spoiler:

This is unlikely since they've established in some recent episodes that Rosita dislikes Sasha, but Rosita and Sasha could potentially team up and both take Holly's role in the comics with storming the Sanctuary and killing some of Negan's men - then Negan kills Sasha and punishes Rosita by making her one of his wives.

[Cal.]

Spoiler:

Mess sorry for the spam but apparently the death will be a 'remix' of Holly's death in the comics so maybe Rosita and Sasha will both take on the role of Holly instead of just one of them after all.

[Lostie!]

Finally watched last week's. It was good to get more focus on Negan's wives (or some of them) and I like that they're actively trying to get rid of him. The blonde one really reminds me of Beth

[Amy Jade]

I'm still not over Beth

Looks like I was right!

Another episode next week just focused on a particular set of characters.

I get they have 16 episodes to fill a season but it's frustrating not seeing the full picture for episodes on end.

[Nicky91]

i loved last nights episode, Rick and Michonne scenes were great


Sasha wanting to kill Negan, i have a bad feeling about this for Sasha being killed, something like that anyway

[Babayaro.]

This show has lost all sense of surprise. I mean, Rick and Michonne are practically untouchable and it's gotten to the point that it's quite insulting to the fans. That scene were Michonne thought Rick had died was awful. There was a small part of me that was hoping that it actually was him and not the deer, and i'm never one for wishing death on the good guys.

Also, I know every episode can't be action-packed but it's starting to become a joke how almost every one now seems to just focus entirely on a few characters. I'll always watch the show but it's starting to lose it's way. So far season 7 has not been what it was hyped up to be. Who knows, the final few episode might revive my interest but right now, I don't really care for the show, which is the first time that's happened.

I liked it but for me it depends on who the focus is on, I didn't like the Saviours one much last week but I liked the Rick and michonne dynamic and I like seeing their relationship develop too
