Rick was pretty good in last nights episode, hope he stays this way.
Yeah, Rick has his moments. He was definitely too whiny in some of the earlier seasons. He's been pretty good since he tore that guy's throat out in Season 4. I like how he knifed that guy on top of him last night, he stands up with everyone looking at him and he just says "What?" like it was no big deal. Classic. I do like Daryl though, not going to riot if he dies, but I know a few of my buddies said they're done with the show if he's gone. I'm more interested in Negan this season and who he's going to kill. The show is better when you have a strong antagonist to go along with the walker threat imo. Shane, the Governor, the Wolves and Terminus (To a lesser extent), etc.
Not to throw out any spoilers, but Negan was 10x worse than the Governor, and he played a huge part in the comics. The people he took out, and the way he did it...brutal, and it made you want to see him get his just desserts that much more. There's no telling how they'll use him in the TV show, but I have my hopes up. I hope AMC doesn't fuck this up. It's an exciting time, this could be the golden age of the show if they do a decent job of telling the story and they do Negan right. Downside is that if they followed the comics time span wise, meaning if they devoted a proportional number of episodes to the Negan story as they did the comics, that story arc could carry on for 2 full seasons or more. I don't see them doing that, they probably devote most of next season to the Negan arc and that's it.
