在知道这片区域不仅仅有山顶寨社区，还有其他社区后，Rick(Andrew Lincoln)和其他幸存者们仿佛开启了新世界的大门，虽然他们都面临着来自Negan的威胁。节目还特地将Negan描述成一个比想象中更危险更可怕的存在——这也确实是他应得的待遇。
当然，鉴于漫画中他们第一次见到Negan时的情景，可能这不是最好的主意。虽然这个反派直到第六季终才会正式亮相，但对他的手下来说有很多的时间来给团队带来各种各样的痛苦和悲伤。
这段剧情总体讲的就是Rick，Daryl，Michonne和团队的其他成员认为他们正与一个很容易扳倒的人在斗争——所以抓住了与周边社区有利的贸易机会——而他们并不知道自己到底陷入了多么可怕的斗争。
Negan将要带着死亡来临，在他到来后，《行尸走肉》的世界将会发生翻天覆地的变化。
‘The Walking Dead’ keeps world-building, but Negan is all that mattersAfter introducing Jesus (Tom Payne), “The Walking Dead” went one step further with the Feb. 28 episode — revealing the Hilltop community he comes from and setting the stage for the inevitable arrival of Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). Learning that there’s not just the Hilltop, but several other communities in the area opens a new world for Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and your favorite survivors. They’re all facing the same threat of Negan, though. The show is going out of its way to build Negan as a more than credible danger to all of their lives — and that’s exactly how he should be treated. Still, the legend of Negan is not going to stop the citizens of Alexandria from going after leader of the Saviors themselves. After all why wait for the devil to find you when you can track him down? Of course, given the way their first meeting with Negan goes in the comics, perhaps that’s not the best idea. Though the villain won’t make his official debut until the Season 6 finale, there’s plenty of time for his Saviors to bring all sorts of pain and sadness to the group. The moral of the story is that while Rick, Daryl, Michonne and the rest of the group think they’re walking into a fight with someone they can easily topple — thus setting them up with favorable trading opportunities with the surrounding communities — they have no idea what they’re getting themselves into. Negan is coming and he’s bringing death with him. After his arrival, nothing on “The Walking Dead” is going to be the same.
