S07.E07: Sing Me A Song

[MrsRafaelBarba]

After all that, please give me something to cheer for.

[Haleth]

JDM was on The Chew the other day making kale soufflé or something. It was surreal.

Okay, I will say this: JDM is playing this well.

I'm in the minority, I guess, but I agree. He's pretty nuanced.

I was being sarcastic.  And clearly not succeeding.

My apologies.

I've said that from the beginning. I may not like Negan. I may not be 100 percent down with how the show is writing Negan.

I am, however, always down for JDM. And I always enjoy watching someone who is clearly having fun chewing all the scenery in sight.

[NorthstarATL]

I'm hoping that Coral will be put to work pressing the wrinkles out of the laundry.

I think Carl's playing Negan.  Nothing scares Carl.

Me, too.

Kale soufflé sounds as tortuous as his speechifying.

[The Mighty Peanut]

"Here it is, Carl. Here is how all the clothes we wear on this show never have any wrinkles"

*pans to walker sweatshop, they are all ironing*

[chick binewski]

Send Negan to the JLaw movie. It already looks terrible.

[eejm]

Same.  I think the direction of this season has been really haphazard and weird and I don't always like how Negan is written, but I do like how JDM is playing him.  It's clear he's enjoying himself with it too.

[NorthstarATL]

ONE SWING CORAL! ONE!

Remember when show killed off a main central character, who is still alive and badass in the comics, because everyone hated the character as written and portrayed on show? Can't same be done with Negan? He is boring and tedious.

I wouldn't mind that one bit. While I do believe that JDM is doing the best he can, the writing for Negan just sucks so much. So so much. Every time he starts speaking now I just start mentally screaming at him to shut up.

[Red Fields]

Whack him now!

[MrsRafaelBarba]

So this guy will die, for being with Amber.

 

SMDH.

[chick binewski]

No ascot! What does it mean??

Shut. up. Negan.  

Mind-numbingly boring.  

[eejm]

My husband just started belting out "Soft Kitty" a la The Big Bang Theory when Negan commanded Carl to sing.  :D

[Glaze Crazy]

This guy just lives for speeches. He needs a gag to conquer him.

He reminds me of David Morrissey in that area. DM always looked like he was having a ball playing the Governor.

[NorthstarATL]

I was RIGHT! It IS that kind of iron!

[JackONeill]

Why, oh why, do we have to watch this?!?

[lmsweb]

Ok I can't watch this. This is a big old NOPE with a side of NOT FUCKING WATCHING,

[NorthstarATL]

He was cute. Now he's going to look like Dwight.

[minamurray78]

OH UGH BAAAAAARFFFFFFFF

[JackONeill]

See, if he had a permanent press face that wouldn't have been necessary.

[Red Fields]

Of course Dwight had to be the one that handed the iron to him.

[Maverick]

 At this point, I really think Kirkman needs some sort of psych evaluation.  He's just way too into writing this shit. 

[Red Fields]

Stop with the P word, already.

[riverheightsnancy]

Personally, I would love to know Negan's backstory. Was he a pathetic loser and used the ZA as a way to reinvent himself, or was he always a sadistic person? Was he a cop, or a lawyer? A criminal? A serial killer? What was he? 

[Straycat80]

So did they say what this guy did to deserve the iron? 

[CletusMusashi]

So Daryl just randomly mops things now? Is he Beth? Does Negan have lollipops?

[Rosiejuliemom]

One of the Saviors is giving me discount-Tyreese vibes. Must be the similar builds and wool caps.

[nodorothyparker]

And it's occurred to none of these mouthbreathers standing around that there's enough of them that they don't have to take this shit?

[minamurray78]

Seriously. How come noone's poisoned his food yet. Put a snake in his bed, a venomous spider in his shoes I don't know.  Something.

LOL I suspect that word is now on the FCC approved list since, well, you know.

Maybe a certain soon to be President helped write this season?

I love you for this.  <3

[MrsRafaelBarba]

That's what happened to Dwight 

 

This shit is ridiculous.

 

Iron to face, for being with his GF/Wife.

 I've always assumed he worked at Wilson's World of Leather at the local mall and ran off with the inventory when shit hit the fan.

I'm getting a Kurt Sutter vibe. And other than The Shield and the first 2 seasons of SoA that's never a good thing.

So glad I am not watching the Negan hour any more. Just reading this forum has my blood pressure up.

I am assuming he worked for the IRS or some bureaucracy because he's taken to torture and "tax" collecting like a fish to water.

Watching the episode has me near-comatose.

It's not funny. It's not scary. Coral's been through enough shit not to be afraid of taking his rag off. Negan is tedious. AND WHY WON'T HE UNZIP HIS JACKET???

His biggest weakness is people laughing at his muffin top. It's like Trump with the tiny hands thing.

It's all about sociopathy. There is more of it out there than you would think. Some pretty law abiding types can even make it work for themselves.

[lmsweb]

I assume that I should care about what Spencer is doing, but alas, I do not.

I was just thinking the same thing. That has the potential of being more interesting than this. 

[eejm]

There was some talk in his character thread that Negan was a high school gym teacher.  Bully/asshole, total creeper, used to torturing large groups of people, has a rapport with adolescent boys...
