The Walking Dead, Adaptation: Things To Note
By Liam O'Leary
7) Inside the clothing store, Negan finds the corpse of a man who committed suicide, surrounded by mannequins of a woman and child. Was he trying to replicate a family he’d lost?
8) As he tries on his new leather jacket, Negan is attacked by a pack of feral dogs. Could they have belonged to the man who committed suicide?
9) Though it’s been a while, Negan isn’t the first person ambushed by feral dogs in the apocalypse, as we saw this happen to Rick’s group during their march through Virginia in the season five episode, “Them”.
10) While searching the countryside, Luke is attacked by a walker…with another walker wrapped around its leg. Of all the weird things walkers have had stuck to them (Or through them) throughout the series, this may be the first time it was another walker.
11) In searching the Sanctuary, Negan finds a motorcycle behind a wall, along with some cans of rotten food and some rats. Was that Daryl’s motorcycle, left behind after it was damaged while Dwight searched for Gordon (Back in the Season Seven episode, “The Cell”)?
12) Negan also stumbles upon Big Richie, the walker of an ex-Savior. When or how Richie died is unknown, though, since it was, obviously, after Negan was caught, one could argue he’s the 11th named character to die this season.
