That was my thought as well. Such a strange choice of drug to mention. He may have just picked it because it is pretty much a universally known drug name, or as you mentioned, a drug that he has known from real life experiences.

Along with your great medical explanation of why it would be such a bad choice for poisoning, is the amount it would take to actually OD someone is quite high, even with no tolerance. It would require somewhere above 300mg to even get close. With the most powerful Oxycodone pill being 80mg, you are looking at 4 tablets. That amount of pill powder is not going to dissolve in a glass of wine. (Information taken from Bluelight.com......thankfully, I have limited "personal" knowledge of opiates)

But, hey ... we are fans of a comic / TV series about a Zombie Apocalypse, so maybe picking apart their choice of poison as being unbelievable is a little goofy, but what the heck.

 

I think it was just an accident on Olivia's part.

I also don't expect Negan to escape right away. I think he will buy his time and try and escape during the fair or something.

 

Yes, I totally agree that some or all of these plotlines will intersect at the fair. We've been joking for months now about the fair and how we hope that nothing bad will happen to cancel or ruin it, but it seems that's exactly what's likely to happen.

 

He he. I would love to see Negan walk up behind Dwight at the fair and just put his arm around him all: "Did ya miss me buddy? Holy Flagdadadoo! I really forked that mug of yours up, didn't I. My bad."

 

So do we think the fair will actually go on as planned with Carl missing and all? :/

 

Yes and no. Yes, the fair will start as planned. But right in the middle of it, Carl, newly elected leader of the Whisperers, will lead his army into the ASZ to take all their cotton candy for himself.

 

That's what I would do anyways. I like cotton candy.

 

My first thoughts...

Hey everyone. New to the forum but wanted to throw my 2 cents in.

I think issue 141 might be out now but I've not received my mailed subscription yet.

My first thoughts after reading issue 140 and seeing the cell door left open was that it was a test. I thought they wanted to see how Negan reacted. I was thinking there was about 20 armed guards outside the door and around the building to make sure he didn't escape.

My hope is that Negan will turn around and help out the group and become a positive part of the community......for a while at least. Figure sooner or later he'll go back to his old ways.

 

Welcome to the Forum!!

Issue 141 should hit store shelves on 13 May (about 2 weeks away).

Don't know if it is a trap, or not, but I fully expect that when Negan gets the opportunity he will return to his old ways.

 

Welcome! :Grin:

 

I kind of doubt it. They already know what Negan is not only capable of, but capable of showing a repetitious pattern of, so I don't think a test would prove much, one way or the other. Even an innocent man would likely use violence to escape a small prison cell.
