I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I don't understand all of the Simon love here. He's not an interesting bad guy to me, no layers, no complexity - just a total dick all the time. The governor was an interesting bad guy. The cannibals were sneaky and creepy. Merle was not a big threat, but he was trouble and a whole lot of fun every time he was on screen. But Simon kinda bores me. He's OK. I don't hate the character. But I just don't why get the character gets so much praise. I have enjoyed some of his menacing scenes, but mostly I shrug at the relentless dickishness. I liked him better earlier on, but by this time, it's just old - no real development or layers like we got w/ the governor. All that's changed is that he's challenging Negan a bit, but we still don't know anything more about him than he's an enforcer. The actor is good, so it would be interesting to see more back story or get inside his head a bit. As it stands now though the I'm not feeling the Simon love.
