        Downvotes (mentioned below)…
        Yeah, I rarely give downvotes, but I popped it to a deserving, idiotic comment along with a reply a little while back & ever since then, I get downvoted for no obvious reasons at all. I’m guessing I must’ve struck a nerve & that it’s probably the same person who’s too butthurt to comment & more than likely has nothing else to offer but downvotes. I hope it’s soothing their little mind, lol!

    Doesn’t this just make things worse for Rick and Co? Now Beta is in charge, and he is way more brutal than Alpha. Negan may have just screwed up.

    Reply
    • Inspire129 says:
      8 years ago

      Beta isn’t in charge now, Negan is. The Whisperers behave like animals, and with whoever animals challenges and defeats the alpha becomes the new alpha. Negan killed Alpha, so unless Beta challenges him, he’s in charge.

      Reply
      • Epic A says:
        8 years ago

        How is Negan in charge? Didn’t he say “Wait until Rick gets a look at you…”? It sounds more like he’s ready to head to ASZ and showed everyone that Alpha’s dead.

        Reply
        • BASTET. says:

          As the new Alpha male. Negan leads the Whisperers in a war against Alexandria.
          Maybe?

          Reply
          • BASTET. says:
            8 years ago

            Or does he win the trust of Alexandria & lead them to war against the Whisperers & kick the cane out from Rick?

          • consumereview says:
            8 years ago

            Negan is still the outsider. I’m guessing Beta will rally the troops against Negan “the spy from Alexandria.” Read more of my thoughts here:http://consumereviewrepeat.com/2016/07/08/the-walking-dead-156/

          • Neutral-Grey says:

            Man, someone really has it out for you, Bassy. Like every comment I find you’ve made, benign or not, is downvoted.

  5. Sweet55 says:

    I kinda think Neganis going to impale her head and take it back to Alexandria! I think he’ll reveal it to the whole community first winning some trust with the people and this may make Rick at least think about giving him a little more trust. I don’t know… Something about the way he was talking, almost liked he soaked some of Ricks wisdom up, or maybe it was there all along and Rick brought it out… I mean I know Negan’s always been against rape… But some of the other shit he was talking sounded a lot like Rick.

    Coincidentally, it was one year ago that 144 released and left all of us shocked just like now! Time flies!

      It’s hard to believe that was a year ago. Two beheading incidents in one year, it’s like Christmas.

  7. Peer of the realm says:

    Yeah that is an interesting idea. I wonder if Negan wants to go back to Alexandria, but like some whisperers witness him kill her and they try and make him leader.

    omggggggggg I liked Negan but he just officially became my mufuckin n***a. I really thought that was always his plan. If he wanted to overthrow Rick he would’ve never killed Brandon. He infiltrated. He assesed. He isolated Alpha and basically did the same thing Rick did to him. Bravo for the avengence of every character lost at the hands of Alpha via Negan. Alpha was a great character but I’m not sad to see her go. Beta will assume leadership and bring war to the communities. The people Eugene have been talking to will be the ultimate deciding saving factor. Great issue
