re: Official Walking Dead S07E03 "The Cell" Thread (NO SPOILERS)

Where are all the other dudes that were at the Glenn death scene?
Do they all live at the sanctuary?

Or do they live in other bases like the satellite base Rick and company slaughtered?
If so, I wonder how many separate bases full of saviors exist outsode of the sanctuary.

Simon didn't seem to be there this week, or the guys shown trading with the kingdom.

So, how fricking stupid is Daryl? Just play along, get in good with them, then rebel from the inside. Dwight was hunted down and is now a top lieutenant. You see that. The opportunity is obvious. This tough guy routine is not going to get you anywhere.

Norman Reedus explained it by saying that Daryl sees "playing along" as a betrayal to Glenn. Reedus said that Daryl is determined to stand for his convictions, like Glenn did, for as long as he can. And if that means he has to suffer in the meantime, so be it.

That skinny old fricker? Not a chance.

I'm afraid Dwight is so desperate to brake Daryl he's going to use Daryl's reasoning against him. Daryl mentioned he understood why Dwight did what he did because he was saving someone, and now a lightbulb will go off inside Dwight's head eventually, he'll either use someone from Rick's group or he'll notice Daryl cares for his ex with. Dwight will use his ex or someone from Rick's group to break Daryl.

Daryl messed up by saying what he did and it may cost someone a scare or their life...

EDIT: Thinking about that some more. If it's Dwight's ex-wife, Negan will be the one who notices Daryl weakness towards Sherry, and he'll threaten to bash her head in unless Daryl breaks. I can hear Negan now..."It's time for a new wife anyways, so you'll be doing me a favor Daryl"

What is "working for points"? Negan mentioned

Negan is everywhere...

I personally would love to watch a spinoff series following Negan's rise to power. It might have a very Breaking Bad vibe. He starts off with good intentions but soon lets the power go to his head. If he came from humble beginnings that would be even better. We could follow it a long way. I'm sure he's crossed paths with many other groups himself. I'm intrigued by his power over everyone else. Amazing how subjugated the people are to him.

Anybody else disappointed in the Negan character? The actor is good, and he looks pretty cool but Negan's dialogue is soooooo bad.

Please tell me Negan will gain more depth as a character, and be given better lines to say.

the flip side of that is they probably dont have to completely surrender themselves to negan like dwight has done. in other words they have some "freedoms" although their lives are much more difficult.

I got the opposite vibe. At one point, Negan mentioned working for points as the second option. He said you'll wish you were dead doing that. I think the working for points are the people that owe Negan a debt. So, they have to do menial tasks to get back to even. That is why that one guy was trying to leave. He was better off dying than remaining there.

Dwight, on the other hand, has a bit more freedom to roam around. He can go after escapees without people thinking he will leave as well. He has paid his debt by having his face burned and giving up his wife. So, now, he is "even", but he still works to keep his spot in the crew.

Also, back to Dwight shooting the guy running away. I thought that was a great reveal at the end. We think Dwight is compassionate and could possibly turn soon since we think he shot the guy in the head. The end reveals he just shot him in the back and left him to the worst possible punishment: being a walker. So, as of now, Dwight is still very much "named Negan".
