I thought they actually did the opposite last night. He clearly has an interest in Carl, and I believe he was enchanted by Judith as well. Not enough to prevent him from using her as a pawn against Rick, if necessary, but I think they touched him. We saw earlier that Sherry was taking a pregnancy test, and there was the implication that she and Negan were *trying*. Maybe Negan loves kids and wants to be a Dad. Maybe the kids are touching a fatherly instinct in him. I definitely got the impression that might be the case last night.

I agree with this! Plus, there was that softer moment with Negan where he seemed to sincerely be affected by Carl crying over being teased about his eye. It kind of surprised me because I wouldn't have expected that from him, so I feel like they are actually starting to enhance his character as time goes on.

On a completely different note, did anyone else find this episode fascinatingly strange? Like, in the sense that it was extremely weird and a little bit creepy in some ways, and yet you were completely glued to the screen? Or was it just me? LOL

I am trying to remember how Negan reacted in the books.  I seem to remember him saying his usual: "That is [moderator edit] [moderator edit]."

I also think he encouraged Carl to not wear the eye patch.

It was similar in the comics (except that Carl was much younger... still very much a *kid*). Carl cried when Negan looked at his empty eye socket and Negan was taken aback and clearly affected by it.

Yes, I really enjoyed this episode. I know there are others here who would disagree, but I find Negan fun to watch.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone converge at the Sanctuary next week!

I still think this season has the most pacing issues, but I really like the ending last night.  Feels like they are getting back on track.

Enjoyed last night's episode. Wondering if the mystery person is Alpha?

They did confirm alpha will be coming, so it very well could be. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if they wrote in a new character to bridge the gap between negan and alpha

I had read the confirmation which is why I was wondering. It wouldn't surprise me if they added someone sort of like they did with the Wolves. I honestly haven't read this far in the comics, I just discuss it often with my bff who knows them inside and out.

It seems waaaay too early to be Alpha. They hadn't even heard of the Saviors in the comics, because it had been so long. Plus, the Whisperers are nomadic, and wouldn't be walking around in 'new' clothing like that. My guess is that it's a 'bridge' character.

I've been lukewarm on TWD for a little while but the mid season finale definitely re-ignited  my interests.  I'm glad that Negan came to put the Ricktatorship in his place and break him down. I wasn't to found of Angry Rick. I hope a little more of the old Rick comes back where he made his speech to Merle (way back in the day) saying something to the effect that there's no more colors, there's only us or them and the only way we can survive it is by coming together not breaking apart. That's the kind of leader i would follow.

I know the main groups, Hilltop, The Kingdom and Alexandria as being part of the proposed coalition to take the offensive on Negan but I gotta believe that, that women's camp with all that artillery has got to play into it as well.

Now i'm actually looking forward to the next season!

My formula for rewatching the show is:
--Watch season 1
--Skip season 2 (Just kill of Shane already)
--Watch season 3 except for Governor and Andrea parts
--Skip the Star Trek red shirt killing frenzy at beginning of season 4, watch most of the rest except for the initial Governor stuff.
--Watch season 5.
--Only seen season 6 once, but I liked it.
--Season 7: 99% chance I won't watch.  This depends on how many times I can marathon Game of Thrones in my life before I get sick of it which is looking unlikely.

I haven't watched since Glenn died, but sometimes peek in here to see how things are going. If they are already bringing in Alpha that's a hell of a jump in a few years between meeting Negan and Alpha coming on the scene.

I liked season 2. Didn't much care for season 1, but I guess you need to watch it in order to understand what is going on. (I guess you also need to see Shane in season 2 in order to understand Rick and the Ricktatorship.) I liked the season 3 Governor stuff. Agree to skip the Andrea stuff. Agree with season 4, start with the midseason finale and watch the entire 2nd half. Season 5 had some lulls but also had some great stuff - the premiere, "we are the walking dead" etc. I think you can skip the first half of season 6 and just watch the 2nd half.

I'm still feeling warm and fuzzy over that last scene in the midseason finale! Even though I've actually liked this season so far, it's never enjoyable to see the group in such distress, so it was really rewarding to see them reunited and on the same page after all of the trauma that they've been put through  ^-^ Also, I *may* have teared up a bit at that Rick/Daryl bromance hug...

Regarding the mystery person, I tend to agree that it may be a "bridge" character, or possibly even someone we've already been introduced to. I thought it might be Alpha at first, but then I reflected on what I've read about her, and I'm also inclined to think that it's too early to introduce her.

I liked season 2.

Glad someone else liked season 2! It seems to be an unpopular season amongst many TWD fans, but it's actually one of my favorites  :)
