At least Jadis won't be short of dog food for a while! 
What happened to her voice when talking to Rick, she started to talk normally!
Wanted Rick to ask Negan why he killed everyone at the junk yard when he was saying how he saves people. Would have dropped Simon right in it.
I was waiting for that. But that would mean there would be some sort of tension.What happened to her voice when talking to Rick, she started to talk normally!

He could if he wasn't so stupid then blame Simon for everything, by suggesting he was always playing Negan off against Rick to get rid of him, or both. It all started at the Hilltop (telling Rick about the saviours and the subsequent attack on the satellite station). The Hilltop was Simon's plaything the satellite station group was Simon's group.
He could have immediately got Negan on side and have Simon blamed for everything, then make peace. But he's too "I'm gonna kill ya" stupid.

Well, someone needs to keep watching it! I need to know how it ends!
With Rick armless and legless still raving at Negan, threatening to kill him as usual.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKhEw7nD9C4

It'll end when the rest of them realise that Rick is a megalomanic serial killer and Negan is actually the only chance for the human race so they all feed Rick to the big tiger that has now become a zombie tiger.

You know what, that's not that wild a theory - they've already sold the idea that Negan is a benevolent dictator for the most part and Rick MO generally involves invading an existing community, and just-so-happens to end up killing a good few of them in the process. P-Jay said:

This was an interesting idea that was put on The Talking Dead a year or two ago. - We've been following 'Rick's crew' for so long, that we identify with them.
- Whenever they find a new home, (which they more often than not take from somebody else - the farm, Alexandria), they fortify it, and stop new people coming in.
- If anybody represents a perceived threat, they attack and kill them rather than ask questions.
- Negan has been living with this kind of threat for a long time. Eventually he, and a rag-tag of other persecuted band together. They work as a series of collectives; some grow food, some scavenge, and some protect. Trust is fragile, because Rick's lot are such an unpredictable threat.
- We're watching the whole thing from the POV of a supporter of Rick, so we see Negan threatening people for not producing enough food each week. In fact, he has a huge number of people to protect and to feed, and there's the constant threat of Rick's lot showing up and killing everyone. So Negan has to be tough because he has to maintain some control.
- When Negan first gets Rick's lot together in the woods, he kills Glenn and Abraham apparently in cold blood. In fact, he knows what Rick and his gang did to the Governor, and OceanSide, and Terminal (which, admittedly, had gone a bit feral), so he's acting out of revenge and fear rather than just being an arse.
- It's just another point of view. And it makes as much sense as what we think is actually going on. The theory is that if we'd been watching Negan's crew from the beginning, they'd be the goodies, and Rick's lot would be the baddies.

You could argue they're like a Virus/Parasite, they attack their host (another community) and when it dies, they move on.
Discussions like this remind me just how good it was, when it was good. New show runners for next series apparently.
A bit of a polyfilla episode.
A great review here and sums up exactly my feelings on where most people are with the show:
