This is the perfect Negan for me. Can pull off his comedic side along with maniac side.
No f bombs and Henry Rollins don't really go together.

He could probably pull it off, but TWD producers have done a good job of finding unknown talent and bringing them into the fold. I expect that if Negan does indeed show up, he'll be played by an unknown. Hopefully their streak of success will continue.

It might seem a bit like a repeat of last season, but if you think about it, the entire show has been about Rick staying on the "good" while walking a tightrope and peering into the abyss. Killing Shane in S2. No more democracy in S3. It's more and more about how much he can take and still stay the decent person he started out.
I think really the only tipping over point we'll see is if Carl or Judith die. Carl getting badly wounded (the eye or limb suggestions) might do it as well, but I suspect it will just generate more dialogue on forums such as this.
Just a thought: if we could agree that Rick hasn't "tipped over" (and I recognize that not everyone feels he hasn't already), what action could he take that would "seal the deal", so to speak? Taking into consideration all the things he's done to date, and for the purposes of this question at least, saying that he hasn't yet tipped over.
I was going over the Comic Con trailers and couldn't help myself but watch TWD one again. I think there is one point in that trailer where it looks like Rick is confronting Morgan, asking "do you think you can take this community away from . . . " and so on. THAT particular scene is the misleading one - where it looks like Rick is telling Morgan off. But I seriously doubt it now. If you remove that one scene, the rest of the trailer is about the neophytes of Alexandria coming on board with Rick's way of things, a Ricktatorship (love that phrase btw - reminds me of the S2-S3 turn when Rick was like, fuck you, no more democracy).
With that one scene "removed", the remainder of the trailer is Rick's group getting Deanna's group in line for survival. And then it looks like a fuck-ton of zombies come their way, and they fight some epic battle. I'm guessing the Wolf group leads the zombies to Alexandria.
What do you think?
I think the first half of the season will be Rick/Morgan/Deanna and possibly even Darryl heavy focused. With the transition of training up the Alexander folk and getting them in line with Ricks way of thinking. Which will clash with Morgan and now Darryl. Possibly they start running low on supplies making them do more supply runs. So you get some walker action. Then towards episode 8 and the 2nd half of the season will be Wolves heavy. And they will use clever techniques of fucking with Rick and stock piling up walkers outside of Alexanders gates. I think it has potential to be a really good season.
The general theme of the season? I think it will continue on the idea of giving up your humanity to survive and what are they really fighting for if they're just going to be ruthless killers. But will expand more on this just not too sure how yet.
i hope jesus shows up this season, hes my favorite.
i was thinking who id want to play him, i think colin cunningham would look the part

Yeah, I kinda doubt it, for the same reasons Immitis said. Also: Morgan is in the comic too, so they were separate characters in the comic.
Also...I can't quote word for word because I don't remember exactly when it was, but I'm pretty sure Kirkman said on Talking Dead once that they eventually want Jesus to be in the show (people ask him all the time about major comic characters that haven't yet been introduced on the show like Negan, etc, and he addresses those questions sometimes).

i didn't hate WWZ, but it didn't feel like a zombie movie either. That whole end segment ruined it for me.
i also partially wanna see jesus because all the whining from people when a guy called jesus is gay will be hilarious.
its gonna be so damn funny, the daryl drama was funny enough

Holy hell, if they bring him in, they have to keep his orientation for the show. People will go nuts! Sounds like a good character, too.
It seems like Negan isn't going to come into the show until at least Season 7. If Jesus brings on Negan, and we didn't even see him in the preview, then Season 7 is the earliest we'll see the story line come into play.
Yeah. I think a lot of it is just waiting for the appropriate actor for the role to come along (or, in Negan's case, coming up with some way to get a character whose every other word is "fuck" on TV without butchering said character). It's a lot easier to introduce characters in the comic, since all they really have to do is draw a few different lines.
In the meantime, I'm sure the writers can come up with enough content that's original to the show, or just filler stuff. For example, I don't think the whole Dawn/hospital story even happened in the comic.
