Weve met two kinds of rulers this season: King Ezekiel and Negan.
Its a comical tune when compared to the harsh world he now lives in, but its also unsettling.
Of course, theres another reason why the shows presence causes concern: Whos the boss?

Were reminded of that as Dwight, wearing Daryls angel vest, kneels as he walks by.
Negan uses walkers to protect the Sanctuary by lining its border with the dead.
She tries to talk to Daryl, but is warned not to do so.
Hes pulled away and back to his cell, but D advises to make things easy on himself.
NEXT: Escape plan.
D promises hes close to breaking him.
For as sadistic as he was in the comics, Negan was always against rape.
And yet, he doesnt seem unwilling to gain sex by verbally threatening women into a corner.
D sets off in the morning on Daryls motorcycle, also armed with his vest and crossbow.
He struggles with the dead as more fall around him, but hes able to escape.
Injured, he rolls ahead and finds what hes looking for: the defected Savior struggling with a walker.
He dodges guards and is almost to the door outside when Sherry taps him from behind.
Negan goes around the circle and asks, Who are you?
to which they all reply, Negan.
NEXT: Mercy kill.
Shes not my wife, D says.
(This conversation is oddly, uncomfortably similar toeverything Bill Maher has been sayingabout a Trump presidency lately.)
Terms like the Sanctuary and the Saviors mixed with this illusion of omnipresence (Who are you?
Spurn me or worship other false idols, and draw the wrath of god.
At the Sanctuary, D finds Sherry smoking in an empty stairwell and asks for a cigarette.
I did the right thing, he says.
It was a helluva lot better than being dead, but as we saw moments ago, was it?
He throws Glenns death in Daryls face, since he was the one who enraged Negan to kill again.
Then again, D admits he too got someone killed trying to defy orders: Tina.
NEXT: Dwights personal hell.
Later, he brings Daryl to Negan, whos sitting in that room behind the orange door.
He likes Ds hustle, but notes how their relationship wasnt always solid.
She said shed think about it, after which she, D, and Sherry fled with medicine.
(Thats when Daryl met them in the woods in season 6.)
After Tinas death, D and Sherry decided to go back and ask for forgiveness.
To stop Negan from killing D, Sherry offered to marry him.
You were thinking about someone else.
Its why I cant.
Perhaps its Maggie, for the same reason.
Perhaps its for his entire family.
