I usually skip your Walking Dead reviews because I'm so far behind on them and don't want to see spoilers, but this one I actually wasn't that late to the game. You're right, this was a good episode with a lot happening. Though I don't know if the Negan plot line will ever end. He's too big a character now and I think he will be around after the other originals go.

Well I think the current Negan story will end but I do think you are right. He will be around for a while yet. How he will fit into the series now I don't know but it will be interesting to find out!
