Who Will Negan Be Talking To In His Cell?
It’s not going to be Carl, the time skip doesn’t look long enough for it to be Judith, and no one gives two shits about seeing more of Henry except Ezekiel. Negan’s stuck in the cell, so any screen time JDM gets is going to be him talking to someone there or a flashback, and he needs to have a reason to be honest about his past. (If someone just shows up with Deanna’s camera and asks him for his story I’m going to riot!) The comic book storyline is blown out, so who do you guys think it should be and why?
At first I thought it might be Rick, because Negan’s only weapon to protect himself is his ability to get into someone’s head. He knows Rick lost Lori after the outbreak, so I thought he might try to manipulate Rick by talking about losing Lucille, we’d get his backstory, and that would lead to Negan eventually coming to terms with it.
Now I’m kind of hoping it will be Carol. She wasn’t at the RV or in Alexandria, so he doesn’t know anything about her, and he might try to play on her sympathy. At the prison she made comments about men like Merle and Ed being able to get inside someone’s head and make them feel like they deserve their abuse, and she's not above screwing with people herself (RIP Sam, how was that casserole, Pete?). I think the two of them could have an interesting dynamic: the abused wife who isn’t afraid of men anymore and had no qualms about killing sick people to save others vs the cheating husband coming to terms with the loss of his wife and the bat he named after her. Since he's going to have to get over that for his character to move forward, who better to get it out of him than a wife whose husband treated her badly?
And I really want to see her reaction when Negan hits on her, because I’m pretty sure he will.
