i dont know if im reading too much into it, or conversely im easy pleased by my drama but the impotent rage and shame of Rick in the last episode made me long for the day when he shoves lucille up Negans ass

^Me too. And Negan (on tv anyway) is growing to be more annoying than menacing.

The show to me is better when it veers from the comic. The sad truth is there's a lot of awful and goofy in the comic. Hell Kirkland's original idea before it was nuked out was to have the zoombies come from outer space. And sadly when it comes to Neegan they stuck with the comic. If it ends the same way we're stuck with the guy for a very long time.

Firstly as much as I enjoy the actor he's miscast here. Never once did I think Rick would have a problem taking him out-and was amazed that didn't happen on their first ride. Secondly like the comic Neegan's just a comic book villian. No depth. No Nuance. Just Evil and one demensional--very unlike the governor- where you saw a human under neath and saw what drove them--Neegan has none of those qualities. He's evil to be evil and he's simply there as the evil element-no matter how silly and unbelievable the setup..Harem of wives and everybody mindlessly submits, a point system group so unattractive one cannot for a second believe such a setup would attract so many and grow so large.

Lastly it's just dragging. This is the slowest most boring season yet--it's quickly earned the season of wussies and pansies and it's carried so far I no longer care who they kill next. It's been a snoozefest and the last episode was just dumb.

I'm not going to be as critical as gr here but it's the series I've enjoyed the least so far

On the other hand I've watched all the others pretty much back to back over a series of a few nights this is the only one I've had to watch week by week, so it could be that

But I have to admit neegan is beginning to annoy me - there's only so many lean back, cheesy beam, say.every.word.like.a.sentence I can manage

And then again, sat on my porch holding my daughter I'd vow to burn him very slowly, very very slowly

So there's that

We call them seasons over here, not series. Get it right :P

pffft...I've seen many series of your shows. You might have done yourselves a favor and not invented TV.

But then you overweight lot will have to read and exercise

And what will all your plastic covered furniture point at if there's no tv?

Neegan has been pretty boring and not quite believable for me.  I'm hoping that his only redeeming character is that he kills Carl.  This season seems to be going off in different directions, which I guess is good for some character development, but it's been a little slow on action.  I'm sticking with it, but I sure hope the plot picks up soon and that they bring all back together at the end of the season.

Thankfully, Al Gore invented the internet so we'd never have to contemplate the dystopian world you describe.

He also invented Global Warming so we would have something to search for on the Internet.  ^-^
