I think the producers/directors are such uber-geeks about their show that they think we all hang on every second of it. I'm geek-enough to like the show and the concept, but I don't want a minute-by-minute unfolding. Let's move this along.

The problem for the show as I understand it is they are rapidly catching up with the comic. I don't think they'll let the television show pass the comic but we'll see. I'm surprised they didn't do a full here's Negan episode to copy the special comic issue.

I'm sure they are going to but it has to be at the right time. To give Negan some humanity to make people not be as mad about how events unfold. Then again they hinted at a lot of the backstory when he was talking to Father Gabriel.


In the comic the All out war arc was issues 115 to 126. The comic is at issue 173 now so there almost 50 episodes of separation if the All out war arc is carried to the end of this season. The story after All out war makes sense to start at a new season. As a comparison the Here's Negan issue where Glenn meets Lucille was issue 100 so last season of the show was about 15 issues of the comic.
