I don't usually watch the show, but Negan had a few good one-liners in this one.

[Eddie Teach]

Frankly, I think Negan's a bit too cartoonish.

You know it is based on a comic, right. 

[Eddie Teach]

They've been pretty good up to now at avoiding the pitfalls of the medium.

But seriously, no way he's ruled this way for this long and nobody's shot him in the back.

[Josquius]

I don't know what to make of Neegan. He really does have something odd about him. I guess that's what makes him creepy.
I hope they do his back story at some point and show how his presumable biker gang core came to save and enslave so many.

My same thought.

I think they are modelling him after a typical warlord who rules through fear pretty well.

He's no different than, say, Stalin.

[Eddie Teach]

Did Stalin keep Beria's wife as his mistress?

have you ever seen beria's wife?

His comic backstory is a former high school physical education/gym teacher.

Which in the context of American culture, explains his character pretty well. 

[Josephus]

Did you guys forget about this?

[Tonitrus]

Nah. 

Still watching...this season has been kinda dragging.  I know it's following the comic, but it feels like just another Governor plot line, just on a larger scale.

[Tonitrus]

And as it was the season finale...

With all of its faults, at least they didn't crap out another cliffhanger this time (just a lead up to the next level of the story).

The whole exercise of bringing around the junk-pile people, only to dispose of them as turncoats seemed silly and pointless. 

[Josephus]

[spoiler][It was a fairly weak finale. I'm bothered with plots that don't make sense. Why did Negan even bother with the whole Sasha in the coffin trick? What advantage was it supposed to give him? Force Rick to give in to his demands? Um...all he had to do was say, "Rick, do this or i'll kill [anyone]." It was a very weak set up.

And yeah, the Scavengers. Why did chief Scavenger keep her gun on Rick for the whole battle? Meh...thank god for the tiger.[/spoiler]
