I can fap to this.

Although I am SEVERELY disappointed that we did not get the bath scene from the comics.

:stankface:

 

I couldn't tell on my TV, what was the point of focusing in the door? How did Negan tell it was unlocked?

 

Was hard to see, but there was a tiny gap showing it offset and not flush, thus showing the hint of it not being locked.

 

Plus, being in that small space for... what is it now? 6-7 years for him? Thinking Negan has every nook and cranny of his cell memorized by now and could tell with that glance that the door was not quite right.

He’s always been a sharp, shrewd, and observant son of a bitch.

 

I sort of wanted to see some type of contrast or homage to Morgan leaving Eastman's cell when he discovered it was unlocked. Maybe, during the second watch and second drink I'll think I see it.

 

I hope he's going to do something noble and helpful. I didn't read the comics, but I liked what I heard about his character. For him to go back to his old ways would be disappointing and tedious. I don't even know how he would accomplish that.
I guess it's a good thing that Carol took care of his acolytes though.

 

please please do not bring his character back to the Negan of seasons 7 and 8

I do not like that he goes back to the sanctuary as seen in the preview. Abandoned though it is.

 

His first order of business will probably be to scour the area where he and Rick had their final battle and try to find his "wife". Michonne told him they just left her there but I think she was lying because we see in the preview he arrives at the Sanctuary with a crowbar, not Lucille.

I think they may play him as a Loki-type character, inasmuch as we never really know who's side he's on (probably his own, mostly), keeping us off balance with his motives.

Side-note: Walking Dead, please...enough with the whistling already!

 

I figured it was because he's a man of the cloth, and this far into the ZA toilet paper is a thing of the past, corn husks are fuel, Sears catalogs went the way of the internet, so that leaves a washable cloth to get the job done. Thus, Gabe being the man of the cloth takes on a whole new meaning. Plus he had that interaction with him at the sanctuary, and Negan made a comment that made me think he got him out of the 'Just kill me please!' phase.

 

Was it really a Rosita-preoccupied Gabe that forgot to lock the gate? Strange!

I think I saw a (fairly muscular) guy standing in the room but outside the gate with Gabe too.
When Gabe left, that guy walked up and locked the gate before he left.

 

Actualy he took the hadcuffs off negan when gabe left the cell.

Gabriel has a habit of leaving gated doors unlocked *cough* epi 506 Conquer *cough*

He left the gate ajar in that episode letting in that walker that Rick killed and brought to Deanna's outdoor town meeting

 

Yea, honestly they need to either move on from the character or have him make that turn.

Basically shit or get off the bedpan with his character.

 

This is what a real Negan would do -- go back to his center of power and whistle to see if anyone was around to return the signal. That was chilling.

I think Negan will want revenge. First, that's his nature. Second, these people locked him up for years. Daryl got locked up for way less time and it took a terrible toll on him.

As much as Negan terrifies me, I still hope they let him be himself. He is a worthy scary foe. But maybe he can't survive on his own without lackeys. I dreaded this happening, but now that it has I'm eager to see how it plays out.

I say he is the apocalypse's Voldemort and any surviving Death Eaters start finding him and keeping quiet about it.

 

I had CC on, the door creaked, so the wind must have blown it
