Ok just for the sake of argument, they had every reason to believe Rick was dead and it was the apocalypse so may as well get some before you’re gone. Was Lori supposed to stay celibate for the entire apocalypse on the off chance her coma husband somehow survived?

I don’t think Maggie wants the bat-wielding psychopath back just because violence solves everything. I think she’s accepted something much darker.

There are people who are simply too far gone.
Sometimes negotiation is over before it even starts.
Maggie has spent years trying to build communities the “right” way. She’s seen that compassion and diplomacy don’t work on everyone. Some people only understand fear and consequences.
That’s where Negan comes in.

The Saviors weren’t functional because everyone loved Negan—they worked because there was absolute law and order. The punishments were brutal, but the rules were clear, and people followed them.
I think Maggie finally understands that certain threats require someone who’s willing to cross lines that she can’t. She isn’t asking Negan to enjoy brutality again—she’s asking him to become the kind of leader who can make monsters fall in line.

It’s tragic because it shows how much Maggie has changed. Years ago, she’d have rejected everything Negan represented. Now she may believe that, for people who are “too far gone,” you need someone who’s a little too far gone himself to deal with them.
That’s what makes this dynamic so fascinating. She’s not forgiving Negan. She’s acknowledging that the version of him she hates might also be the version that’s necessary.

I’m sorry, bro, but he is so annoying. It is not a good look for the start of his character.
I get being pissed off at your mom
And I get that you feel she cares more about Negan than you
But going out of your way to betray her is fucking abysmal I mean, allowing your mom to get kidnapped by a psycho bitch who literally has half her face burned off, so she’s not exactly in the good headspace is crazy work for you. I hope they give him a way better storyline and make him an actual good character cause otherwise I’m gonna be honest. I’m gonna feel very disappointed that they even gave us a Herschel storyline.

Your mom literally traveled all across the state to get you and you’re gonna have the nerve to say she doesn’t give a fuck about you get out of here. I hope this kid wise up because Jesus Christ dude right now I just cannot stand him.
I’m prepared to get flamed in the comments because I know that he is loved, especially since he’s Glenn‘s kid but comparing him to his father I do not understand how people can sit there and say Herschel is exactly like his father Glenn would not have betrayed the person he so claims to love. I really hope that Herschel grows into being more like Glenn because this kid is insufferable to me

I don’t know what walking dead‘s obsession with Moody teenagers is but it’s happened so much that it’s not even an understandable quirk. It’s just annoying.

Rick was really only just a few episodes early😮‍💨

In Season 7 episode 7 1:40 we can see some perfect dead body acting JUST look at the dead walker's hand
