He was pretty quick to tell two complete strangers their entire story, not sure of how much time passed from their arrival to the end of the episode.
Must have been a fair bit of time.....she pretty much recovered from multiple gun shot wounds.

Whilst he wasn't doing it out of sadism, the way he did it clearly indicates he has sadistic tendencies. If you want to establish dominance by showing you can kill anyone at anytime, you simply pull out a gun and shoot someone. Or two. Quick, clean and takes no effort whatsoever. The only reason to take the time, trouble and energy to kill in the way he did is because he enjoys it. He's even given his weapon of choice a fairly quaint female name. He doesn't kill simply as a means to an end. This is a man who obviously loves his work.
i love a good psychoanalysis as much as the next guy, maybe you could get a job on big brother or something?
This is a world where bullets are scarce so firing one or 2 would be wasting them if other means are available, Lucille is his other means and is his trademark weapon.

Wasn't Eugenes idea to make bullets. He will be doubly intent after what happened. They were pointing guns at everybody and Negan used a high powered weapon to keep Rick safe. I would say he has access to a military compound. The arsenal's available at huge US bases has to be staggering. They didn't all just disappear.

Lucille is the kind of weapon a comic or graphic novel would come up with. What what I gather Negan would never use a gun in the comics so the writers are making the show closer to reality. Every character including those we saw in the new episode are weird and larger than life because you can do that in comics. Lucille is an instrument of terror just as the torture chambers were in the middle ages with the iron maiden etc. The taking of the photos. Far better to have Negan on your side. There is no doubt he was enjoying himself and he is a sadist.

I really wish they hurry up and kill off Carol.

Such an annoyingly boring character.

Because they have just started Negan's back story in comic book form I shall enclose it in spoiler form.

My OH happened to catch the last few mins of today's episode...I did have to clear up with her that a pet Tiger on a chain is a little unusual/out of place even for The Walking Dead.
I saw that on the trailer and it worries me that S7 may go over the top and lose its way.

This is all from the comics. Everything about comics is over the top because you can do anything. This is the problem I had with last week. I saw an interview with the director saying how he wanted to emulate the comic scene with Glenn. Digging a hole where the actor could put his head and all the gunk on top. Mr Nicotero is a special effects man and was so pleased with himself. People were waiting for the 'payoff' of having a character have their head bashed in.

Last night's episode was wonderful and uplifting. I just watched the Talking Dead in which they showed an interesting scene from next week.

I think less is more with the tiger. Just mention it once and a while and not see it. The CGI was not great.

I really enjoyed last night's episode. I think the light-heartedness much needed.

I always like a Carol episode though.

Was like an episode of Downton Abbey compared to last weeks

Much needed though and I enjoyed Ezekiel and Kingdom.

Loving the Tiger, please let it eat Negan

After the high tension episode last week I'm glad this one was more laid back.

Crikey, the tiger CGI was a bit off.

Not keen on the kingdom, we have seen it all before at least twice, we all know it will probably end in tears, well t will now that some of our group have visited,lol

Looking forward to next week, will Daryl be broken?

Enjoyed this episode, Melissa McBride was amazing in her meeting with Ezekiel.

The thing with Shiva - and I know we aren't here to talk about the comics - is that yes, it was CGI but it kind of worked (Much better than Grodd the Gorilla in The Flash!). I don't read the comics but I glance at google to see how things tie in. Because Shiva exists in the comics, they had to introduce a tiger into the TV show or comic fans would have been up in arms. So even if the CGI isn't to everyone's taste, I'm taking it for what it is.

Loved this episode, especially the Kingdomers feeding the pigs Walker meat especially for Negin and his crew!

not read the comics so this isn't a spoiler, but I think the tiger has to be an active participant in the death of Negan. I also think that the young protege of the king will probably get 'offed' soon and that will trigger the eventual willingness of the kingdom to get involved in ending the rule of the saviors. Carol close but on the outside is a very good place to have her, and she really needs her space right now. Ezekiel may also be exactly what she needs right now, and she seems to be something he needs too - I am really looking forward to watching how things develop.
Loved the convo between Carol and Morgan - 'I think you might be my favorite person that I ever knocked out with my staff... one of my favorites... top 3 anyways' something along those lines. After the intensity of last weeks ep, it was just lovely to watch this one...

That's interesting and confusing, where will Rick and the rest be at when we get back to them I wonder.

After the extremely slow pace of the last series I feel a bit dizzy now.

Must have taken a couple of months for Carol to recover from a bullet wound.

I like the tiger, it was obviously CGI but I think the show's better when it goes full comic book camp instead of taking itself a bit too seriously.
