If you simply do not mention the comics at all then there is absolutely no question about whether something is a spoiler or not. That way we don’t have every single poster making their own decision about what is or is not a spoiler. Genius don’t you think? ---

You say genius, I say super annoying. “The books don’t exist” rule a handful seem to love is tedious, borderline aspergers, and doesn’t apply to Walking Dead threads based on [longstanding precedent](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=17893417&postcount=2). Generally, most people are good about boxing future events. That’s mainly because most people aren’t either total idiots or complete assholes. ---

> [@Bryan\_Ekers](#): > > And in a world with working vehicles and traffic-free highways, the second Negan isn’t looking his “serfs” will assemble a convoy and within 24 hours will be 800 miles down the road. Further, any serf who gets sufficiently pissed can take Negan out with a scoped rifle from 500+yards away. A coercive society just isn’t sustainable under these conditions,… ^This. The entire premise is ridiculous. One reason people enjoy post-apocalypse stories is to mull over the question _'what would I do in that situation?_’ But when the situation itself is absurd and implausible, the enjoyment vanishes. ---

Enid is a victim of the stupid much like the rest of the gang. What the hell is the point of hanging around outside the walls reading comic books. That is fine for a normal a teenager but marks you too stupid to live in the zombie apocalypse. Of course in this world zombies are only a threat when plot needs them to be. ---

The whole ‘heroes trapped by bad guys coming out of the woods all around them’ - whistling! - at night - reminds me somewhat of a similar scene in ‘Lost’ (which looked like a scene from ‘Survivor’). The most horrifying scene in TWD to date, to me, was in Terminus when the bad guys were oh so casually going to lop off our heroes’ heads into a trough. This last episode with the loathesome Negan wasn’t even on par with that. ---

When Our Heroes are Victorious, what should they do with Negan? I was thinking shoot him in the knees and elbows, forget to tell the Doctor for a couple of weeks, and keep him in Morgan’s cage as a quadruple amputee. Perhaps crucifixion. That would be good. But some folks may want to earn his favor by rescuing him, so the best thing is to kill him immediately and display the body. What of his followers, the Saviors? Brand an “N” on their forehead, and explain that if they are aver seen again, they will be shot on sight. ---

I kept reading about how Negan was going to be the evilest bad that we had seen so far, but it turns out it was some guy with a baseball bat. The best he can do is say the same thing over and over for ten minutes and then bash someone’s head in? I felt a lot more apprehension in Terminus at the trough. If this guy is the epitome of evil, he’s got some work to do. ---

If this guy is the epitome of evil, he’s got some work to do. Plus his dialogue is pure middle-school. “I bet you guys are peeing in your pants right now!” Before he got Lucille, did he purple-nurple people to death? I suppose if a sadistic 13 year-old got life or death power over a group of people, he might look a lot like Negan.
