Thats kinda what I thought from the piece as well.

Stop watching the show then. He's going to be the main antagonist for probably the next Season and a half, and you're going to be hearing a LOT about him.

I'm wondering if the dude that was holding the gun in the season trailer on Daryl wasn't Negan then (I'm assuming we can say his name now that he's been cast).
I would have LOVED Olyphant in that role. I hope he finds a long term role on the show somewhere now that he's done with Justified. But Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a solid choice. I've liked him in everything I've ever seen him in. Hopefully he managed to get the weight back on he lost for another role before shooting his episodes for this. He looked weird and emaciated and not at all powerful but we'll see.

Maybe - if it translates to TV and it works for the viewers - great in the comic book is not an auto translate - look at what they did to Andrea :(
I hope it does work thought

Indeed. I'm tired because of the comic book mantra about him. If he ain't Darth Vader's badass brother it will be a disappointment.

I've spoiled myself for the comics involving him. I REALLY hope certain events don't come to pass. Spoilers are a pain to make on phone, so I'm leaving it there, hoping it's obvious enough for those already aware, and vague enough for those who don't.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Assuming Glenn's alive, then
Spoiler:
I feel pretty sure that they won't have Negan introduce him to Lucille. It's too repetitive and tiring for the fans to go through the same wringer. Glenn might end up being the "miney" but not the "moe." It'll be another character.
Also, if they just announced that he's cast, that probably means we're looking at the latter part of the back half of the season for his first appearance, right? The Hilltop will probably be the focus after the winter break.
Frazz, I actually think you'll like the guy. "Like" is kind of a relative thing in this instance, but the character has a certain charisma and is most definitely a straight shooter.

Governor from the show was actually pretty good. They massively improved his comic book character. Granted a ton of that was casting and the excellence of the actor. I'm expecting similar levels from this cast member.
I'm just hoping after the trailer for the season and next weeks preview that Daryl is ok.

Daryl is unstoppable. I'd list him as actually the most liked character. His death, unless it was the ULTIMATE sacrifice, would kill the show. Far worse than even losing a Glenn and Maggie team.

Negan is a step up the ladder of civilization from the Governor. The Guv was a simple tyrant. What Negan offers is almost a kind of feudalism.
Negan has MUCH more vision than the Guv ever had. Rick has a little more than Negan.
The show Guv was indeed much better than his comic counterpart. And I have a lot of faith in Gimple's ability to translate the comic to TV, so I'm sure his version will be really good.
But what will they do about the f-bombs? This is a very important question!

As far as the swearing they'll probably tone it down to insults. Saying that the DvD release of the show has more swearing in it than what's aired, so one can hope that when that eventually comes out they'll let some slip in.
I wonder how they'll involve Negan's crossbow armed second? Youknow, given that the author made a joke about him being Daryl. Though I doubt he'd get much screen time till next series.
Hmn, though seeing Daryl being branded would also be interesting.

Negan is first showing up during the 'mid-season finale' episode!

season finale, not midseason finale. Which is an utterly ridiculous invented term. I can't remember anyone calling those episodes that back when I worked in the industry.

The midseason finale would have been shot by now.
When you worked in the industry, was it common for shows to break for several months over Christmas? There's nothing ridiculous about it, the show disappears Rom the screen for a few months so a mid season finale is used as a climax and cliff hanger.

Well, according to the link I posted earlier:
Spoiler:
After months of speculation and a few casting rumors, The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Jeffrey Dean Morgan has landed the role of the villainous Negan on "The Walking Dead." According to THR's unnamed sources, Morgan will make his first appearance on the show during the midseason finale. The episode will be directed by Greg Nicotero.
Wouldn't "THR" also be "The Hollywood Reporter"?
I guess we'll see one way or the other in 3 weeks!

The character, who sources say first will arrive in the season-six finale directed by Greg Nicotero, is the violent leader of a group known as the Saviors that uses force and intimidation to subjugate other communities — including Alexandria. Negan first appears in the landmark 100th issue when he crosses paths with Rick Grimes, who had been vocal about bringing down the man who takes half the community's supplies in exchange for "protection" from walkers. By comparison, Negan makes David Morrissey's Governor look like a fluffy bunny.
Negan — who went through the casting process under the name of "Orin" — has become the primary villain in the comic series since he shockingly killed Glenn with "Lucille," a baseball bat covered in barbed wire that he carries with him at all times. He's still alive, as of issue 145. Morgan first will join the series as a guest-star before being promoted to series regular for season seven. Morgan was one of multiple actors who had buzz as being in the running at some point for the role, though no others received offers. Production on the season-six finale begins this week in Atlanta.
Like I said, they would have finished the midseason finale a while back.
