I've heard the ratings were down after the first half of season 7...idc, I'll be faithful until the bloody end. I think they're building the storyline up for the second half of the season. I'm missing my Sunday nights! I can't wait for February!!!

    Glenn and Abraham were my favorite characters, so in a way I'm kinda relieved that they're dead because now my heart won't be in my throat every episode. I really thought Judith was gonna get shot that last episode since Olivia had been holding her a lot.

    I'm with you OP. I think I'm in it for the long haul. I honestly didn't mind the first half of the season. Besides the first and last episodes there wasn't a lot of action, but they were building the storyline for part two. I'm excited to see all of the groups join together to fight Negan!

    I am still taking wagers. I think there will be a melee against the collective groups, but I do thing Dwayne is going to off Negan during the commotion. They profiled his pain and humiliation too much not for it to be relevant to the story.

    I think he'll try or maybe instrumental in his capture, but there's no way Dwayne can kill Negan.

    There is definitely going to be a reckoning and I'm quite sure Neegan will feel Daryl's wrath!

    ...but will they do it at the end of this season or make it a cliff-hanger? I don't follow the illustrated version so I have no idea.

    Interesting thought!...capture...that would change dynamics and allow interesting story line, never considered anything but an offing.
    Why can't Dwayne do it? Someone takes your partner and flaunts them in front of you, in front of others...? There are real stories out there of people doing far worse for less provocation.

    Always a cliffhanger!

    You know what I don't get? Neegan could've been killed so easily so many times and then his group would just disintegrate...a lot of his minions are miserable under his rule...or why someone from his group hasn't done it already baffles me.

    Perhaps this will be where Maggie's character will step up? She was sort of politician in training while at Alexandria. Maybe she'll be the one to bring the groups together? At the very least she is so taking over hilltop and will have to get rid of Gregory. Carol and Morgan are ambassadors for The Kingdom. Tara for the fish village even though they want her dead. Daryl had Dwayne's wife's sympathy and she's Negan's top girl who could either betray Negan herself or convince Dwayne to? I think the biggest win would be for Negan's own people to betray him as a whole. The people inside who aren't reaping the rewards. Lots of things could happen.

    Neegan is stupid. Ratings deserve to be down.

    Let's see - hmmm - if some dude pressed a hot iron on my face and was "doing" my wife, I am pretty sure I would be motivated to slip into his room with the gun (that all of them seem to have) and "fix" the problem. You don't have to kill him either...you could wound him and feed him to the walkers - that seems fitting.

    Or better yet, do him in front of everyone. Would probably be called a hero.

    P.S. - I would burn his bat.

    for the same reason despots throughout history have succeeded. People A) intrinsically want to follow/believe in someone B) Fear - fear that he is bigger than life, the will fail and will be brutally punished

    I thought so too but I guess he's supposed to be so intimidating that no one has had the balls yet, except for Rosita but she missed. Maybe he's just been lucky and all attempts have failed discouraging more ppl? The more corrupt individuals may not like his methods but are putting up with it bc they want the perks. It does seem weird though since his weapon of choice is just a bat. I'd be more scared of a gun or Michone's katana.

    I know it's easy to say when I'm just a viewer I'm sure there's a whole psychology to his fear mongering. Eventually evil dictators and their toadies get what's coming though.

    That's the rub. Too many people with weapons near him. Particularly Carl, who went on a suicide mission and took out several of Neegan's guys, yet somehow stopped his machine gun to let Neegan do his psychological game playing. Sorry, his Alpha can't be that strong.
