Who Negan Smashed - My Theory

I hate Negan. Not for the reasons you probably think. I’ll  get into that, but first …

Spoilers ahead

If you are not caught up on Walking Dead, stop reading.

You were warned.

Back to … I hate Negan. For Graphic Novel readers you were familiar with him, but for those who didn’t read, Walking Dead spent the second half of season six teasing this ‘Negan’ guy, trying to shove down our throats how horrible he is. When we see him, what did we get? A guy in designer jeans, an expensive made to fit leather jacket and the quintessential bad guy slicked back greasy hair. Oh, yeah, he carries a barbed wire bat that he bludgeons people with.

That’s his call to villain fame? He beats people? I hate Negan because he is being sold to us as this ruthless villain. He is not, by the true definition of the word, a villain. A good villain has some good qualities, for the most part, those around them aren’t convinced he or she is a villain and they don’t boast, like Dr. Evil how bad they are. Albeit selfish, there are good motives. The Governor was a great villain and Walking Dead has been cutting up the cardboard ever since to try to match him.

By the trailers we hear Negan brag about his strength. He uses phrases like Pee-pee pants  city. Pee pant city? What? Is he trying to scare first graders. Is he a bad guy? Yes. A villain? No. He’s a brute, and that won’t last long.

Speaking of the brute … Season Six of Walking Dead ended with a cliffhanger that got people in an uproar. How dare they do this to us, viewers cried out and cried foul. Admittedly it was one humdinger of a cliffhanger. Kudos to AMC.

Apparently Pee Pant City Man smashed someone in the head. Ironically, the same one screaming about the cliffhanger are the same ones that are convinced that Glenn got the bat. Just because it went that way in the GN. Seriously, people on spoiler and fan boards are downright belligerent about it being Glenn and anyone else who thinks otherwise is an idiot. Don’t believe me, go on one of those boards and post it isn’t Glenn. They smash you like the current bat wielding cardboard cut out villain.

When simple common sense would tell you that it isn’t Glenn. Would AMC risk losing viewers, go to all that trouble to build up a ‘who is it?’ cliffhanger if they were gonna stick to the comic books?

Some say he hasn’t been on set. Some say he’s been spotted. AMC is not gonna let this secret out. They will resort to having the character who died on set and hide others. All the Glenn Slayers will be crying in their Wheaties. He’s not dead. Forget the graphic novels, they wouldn’t pull a cliffhanger of this magnitude if they were following the books. They’d leave us crying at the end.

So who do I say got the bat? Maggie.

Why? It’s heart wrenching, it’s bold, it’s unexpected, it will motivate the characters and story. Game of Thrones slaughtered a pregnant woman brutally. Their viewers didn’t stop watching.

Book readers argue, ‘it’s not a woman. Negan doesn’t brutalize women. Especially pregnant ones.’ Correct me if I’m wrong, but unless Negan is a psychic or has xray vision, he hasn’t a clue she’s pregnant. And … remember she cut her hair, really short. It wasn’t the actress who wanted It done,  it was for storyline purposes. Short hair, dark lighting, pale from being sick … Negan thinks she’s a dude.

Smash.

AMC wants you to comeback to see who got it, they aren’t luring you back to see the predictable. That’s my take, opinion, a few more weeks and we’ll know.

Spoiler Splash - Walking Dead S5E11

Make sure you tune in this week to the Apocalypse Nana show, 9 PM EXT Prepper Broadcasting Network, when we will have a visit from the Spoiler Fairies.

In the meantime, let me share what I have found out.

{SPOILERS AHEAD}

Examine the sneak peak video for this week’s episode and look at second mark 22. Looks to me like Glen comes awfully close to being bit.

EDIT FRIDAY FEB 20 - Please visit Spoiling the Dead Facebook
Here is a tease of what they have
- Rick and Judith stay behind at barn, Aaron is tied up. Judith won't stop crying, Aaron offers some apple sauce which Rick believes to be poisoned.

From Wet Paint – This is the episode Rick loses his beard. So that tells me they arrive at Alexandria safe Zone. CORRECTION (As told by SpoilingDeadfans) Rick loses his beard in Episode 12, they only arrive at Alexandria Safe Zone.

So all that hoopla in the barn from the previews is just that.

So let’s deduct. We have seen from the previews that the group runs into trouble. We know from the GN, that Aaron (The clean and neat survivor) is not a bad guy, so who is after the group? Walkers or the Wolves? Wolves being perhaps AKA the Saviors from the GN.

Remember in Episode 5.9 we saw the graffiti on the wall about Wolves and the ‘W’ carved into the forehead of the walker.

Last week, I discovered that information I provided was also placed on another site first. A site I was honestly unaware of. So this week, I received info and was directed to that site.

Allow me to credit them correctly this week.

Thanks to The Spoiling Dead Fans (thespoilingdeadfans.com) I have the following information. Check out their site (Registration is appreciated) and also like them on Facebook. They have some cool info.

Including …

Eric, Aaron’s partner makes an appearance this week. Which again reiterates they get to ASF.

From The Spoiling Dead Fans facebook page (Credited to their own Obi Wan)

The scene opens with the group hanging out in the barn doing stuff and thangs. Daryl is cleaning his BFF aka his crossbow. Rick is sitting on the ground with Judith, while Carl is messing with a piece of wood off the barn's wall.

Maggie comes into the barn announcing to the group, "This is Aaron." Daryl immediately approaches the barn door and makes sure there is no one outside. He then conducts a nice little TSA frisk on Aaron. Maggie states that she has already searched Aaron and removed his weapon.

The group, wary of this stranger, surrounds Aaron with their weapons pointed at him. Awkward Aaron offers an awkward "hi". Rick asks Maggie for Aaron's weapon. She hands over his pistol and officer Rick assertively checks it for ammo.

Rick asks Aaron if he wants something from them. Sasha says that he has a camp that he wants the group to "audition" for. Aaron explains that he believes the group would be valuable additions to his community.

Aaron asks Sasha to hand Rick his backpack and says there is an envelope in the front pocket. Aaron explains he couldn't just come along without some proof that his community exists. He shows Rick a photo of his community which features large walls. He mentions that their walls are strong and nothing dead or alive can get in. He says that security and their survivors are their top priorities. Aaron also mentions that it is his job to convince the group to follow him.

Before Aaron can explain anymore, an unamused Rick walks straight up to him and delivers an unforgiving punch right in the face, knocking him out cold.

AND finally ….

Some interesting Easter Eggs from 5.9 and 5.10.

From 5.9 – Most of us know Glen’s fate from the GN (bludgeoned with a bat). I wonder if the discovery of the baseball bat during the trip to Noah’s home a foreshadowing of things to come for Glen.

From 5.10 – Perhaps it isn’t Maggie that commits suicide. Any one notice in the barn, that Sasha slept under a loop of rope. Foreshadowing maybe she’ll be the one who attempts suicide.

I promise to post as I find more out. Thanks for stopping by!

Walking Dead - Ten Unanswerable Questions You may Want to Ask

I can't resists, it has been eating me. So I am going to write a Walking Dead Vent Blog. I admit I love the show and at times, I love to hate it. Tonight was one of those nights. Where is it going? Another episode of Walking Dead where I not only huffed in boredom, but ended up twice, doing my own version of Mystery Science Theater for Maggie and Sasha. I’m addicted, not only to the  show but to the weekly torture of so-so episodes, all while holding high hopes that at any time it will get better.

I hated Season Four. Hated it. To be honest, the introduction of Gabriel and hopefully, the impending death of Beth, got me to come back.  I have since learned, any character I really like, dies. After watching tonight, I have made a list of question you would love to ask, but will never get the answer to.

Warning Spoilers if you are not up to Season Five Episode 11.

(For the purpose of these questions making sense, I refer to Rick and gang as ‘Our Group’)

1.      Why did it take so long for our group to get out of Georgia. We learned from T Dog in Season 3 they went in circles for eight months. No wonder they couldn’t find food.

2.      And why can’t they find food. If 90% of the population is … dead, who is eating all the stock? Doesn’t Cosco have a warehouse down there or something?

3.      Why is our group the only ones who don’t have it together. Hershel was the key to that. Haven’t they learned that settling and farming is probably their best bet. Why is our group the only ones that haven’t found a solid place yet?

4.      Am I the only one who things our group are the bad guys in the series, not just the Walkers? Hell if I had a community and I saw that raggedy group heading my way, I’d shoot. They live and act dangerously, no wonder no one wants them.

5.      Why is it any place good that our group goes, they destroy? All that time they spent on Herschel’s farm, they really could have erected fences. Everyone else did it.

6.      What does our group have against cleanliness. Obviously getting clean isn’t impossible, every survivor group they run into is clean. - Note to group, if you find five gallons of water, and don’t trust it to drink, damn it … wash your hands.

7.      So it’s been like. What? Eighteen months? Two years? We have established that cleanliness isn’t priority for our group, so why for as dirty as they get are their teeth so damn clean? Someone get a toothache.

8.      What does AMC have against African American Actors? Why can there not be more than one on the show for very long. We had T Dog, then came Oscar and T Dog died. Here comes Tyrese and Oscar dies. Oops, Father Gabriel .. Tyrese is dead.

9.      Is there some sort of contract stipulation that says Daryl’s cry face will hereby replace Beth’s singing. The first time we saw both (Crying and singing) It was moving, but after that it’s annoying.

10.  In what word do the writers live that people actually talk like that. They had to be drunk over tonight’s dialogue. Carol to Daryl “One day you will feel it. You won’t stop it.” In other words, go sit by that tree, smoke  cigarette and give us your best cry face.

And finally, to the reader who was strongly and rightfully disturbed about my kitten scene in The Experiments, I hope you weren’t watching this episode.

Walking Dead Spoiler Splash - Episode 10

You know, sometimes you just can’t wait. Sometimes you just have to know. I am that type of person. I fact check while watching shows and constantly have to seek spoilers.

I am a Walking Dead junkie, like a crackhead needing a fix, I am everywhere, saying, ‘you got something. What do you have.’

Hence, why I am going to be doing this blog. My ‘go to’ site for spoilers hasn’t been, well, as informative, so I contacted the crack team (Crack, haha) of spoiler masters that I knew provided the info to that site. I am pleased and blessed to announce they will be providing me with the spoilers.

They are very reliable. Please do not ask me to divulge where they get them from, I cannot.

Each Thursday morning I will post spoiler sneaks. Then on my show, Thursday night 9 pm, a member of the Spoiler Splash Team will pop by the show, divulge a little more or get more in-depth over what I posted.

Feel free to follow the blog or follow me on Twitter. @gojake

Through the weekend, I will update the blog as Spoilers come in. I promise to give you the most reliable source of spoilers and info you can get for Walking Dead.

After the mid season premiere, I am hoping that episode 10 is better. It should be for those who were disappointed

And now that the intro is out of the way, here we go.  Spoilers as Q & A Format.

S6E10 – Them

Will we see the Daryl Cry Face?

Unfortunately, yes, but we won’t hear Beth singing.

Dogs, and yes, we are left to wonder if it really has become a dog eat dog, or er, human eat dog world.
