I dont know what to think, I love the character of Negan but I made a few assumptions.

First of all that an actor of JDM Pedigree was signing on to a TV show for a short stint.

Secondly that his character has done so much damage to the group that we've been following since Day 1 that forgiveness is just not on the table.

But Carl's end and his vision of the future seem to be much different.

But at the same time if Rick and Negan join forces against an even more terrible villain its just rinse and repeat again and I dont know how I'd react to that.

And killing Negan would be fun, for a bit, but it would be more fun to keep him around. Hes cool.

The show is already stuck in circular rut, Negan for all intents and purposes is the Governor (an evil force that destroyed Rick et al's peaceful lives). That is why I think the bringing together of Negan and Rick would be a coup. It should show and need quality writing to not look put on or forced. As history has shown a common enemy can make strange bedfellows. If not a reconciliation, perhaps a detente while they address a greater threat to both of their "communities".
