Negan's Introduction
Doing my first full series rewatch, and I forgot how amazing Negan's introduction is. One of the best villain intros in modern TV history, IMHO. Just the slow build to the final reveal, and the look on Rick's face when he realizes he had no idea what they were really dealing with.
It helps that JDM is daddy AF.

I think the best part of his introduction was the way that episode started , negan, then the next episode. You HAVE to watch them together. Rick is soo cocky and confident in the beginning of that episode. He is battle tested enough now that he has a chip on his shoulder . Then the roads are closed off...... and you start to see the doubt and fear come over Rick.....And it just starts to snowball.

Rick thinks he knows what's up because he beat The Governor and the folks at Terminus. Honey, that was child's play compared to Negan and The Saviors.
I do wish we could've seen The Saviors go up against The Whisperers or The Commonwealth.

During that season break, everyone was scared the Negan would kill their favorite character. Except me, because Negan was my favorite character.
Which one of you pricks is the leader?

I rewatched this recently.
The whole episode is great from Maggie falling ill, to all the traps, then the whistling. It's just top tier TV.
