So we've solved the issue of why he was on the roof?

"It just seems messy to me."

Meh.

Re: details, I think this is called getting into the weeds. Someone else here said they heard it hit the roof. I didn't get that. But when I saw Rick on top of the RV with the ax beside him, I thought "Huh, Negan must have thrown it up onto the roof" and moved on with my life. You know why? Because I realized it's…

His objective was to do what Negan said. He could have thrown his leather jacket out there for him to fetch. But he may have gotten cold with just his scarf.

There were reports that they filmed a death for every one of the characters to throw off spoilers. Apparently, they decided to also use that footage.

We'll only know if that's true or not if they chime in with something like "I stopped watching True Blood like in season 2 because I only like shows that are good and I have very good opinions. I just wanted everyone to know that I think this show sucks."

To me it seemed like they put him on the roof because that was his only option being surrounded by that many walkers.

The ax isn't the point. The point is that Rick does what Negan tells him to do and Rick dying or not dying doing what Negan told him to do.

Yes, that was the cultural reference i was going for.

Don't real people do stupid shit when they wouldn't otherwise or do things that are out of character that raises the dramatic stakes in their lives?

Thank the gods.

Patented?

I'm just fascinated. There are a lot of popular shows that I don't watch, and I never hear about them, never seek out details on them and most certainly don't comment on them.

You got all that without watching? Impressive.

It's the guys/gals that WANT to be leader that one needs to worry about.

Spoiler sites.

Who isn't horny after an ordeal like that?

Ah, OK.

I'm not sure what part of the story is in the second omnibus. Where did it end?
