Nice to see her again: ever since she witnessed Negan off her husband Glenn with a baseball bat, weвЂ™ve been worrying what happened to her. The episode began with an extreme close-up of Maggie. Gregory, in his more lucid though cowardly moments, made it plain he was prepared to sacrifice these fugitives rather than risk reprisals for being found out for harbouring the women. The tension, such as it was, revolved around the possibility that Gregory вЂ“ morally invertebrate and apparently falling prey to dementia вЂ“ would surrender not just whisky and paintings to the Saviours, but two renegade women from RickвЂ™s Alexandria crew, Maggie and Sasha. вЂњFrom now on IвЂ™m your Negan,вЂќ Simon told Gregory, the leader of the вЂ“ frankly effete вЂ“ Hilltop compoundвЂ™s citizens when he and his Saviours goons came to exact their tribute. I miss that nasty, verbose low-life.Дivertingly Southern retro 70s vibe вЂ¦ Simon with Gregory. Where are his gaudy entrances (вЂњHot diggity dog!вЂќ), his rococo realpolitik (вЂњWelcome to a brand new beginning, you sorry shitsвЂќ) and his lubricious misogyny (like last week when he was drooling over putting the moves on recently bereaved widows)? Hopefully, normal service will be resumed next week. Are we all suffering Negan withdrawal symptoms? Of course we are. You may have guessed IвЂ™m riffing on SimonвЂ™s moustache to conceal my disappointment at this weekвЂ™s episode, surely the weakest of the current season. Because IвЂ™m a child of the 70s, I got a Proustian rush every time Simon strutted into shot, his facial hair arriving a split second before the rest of him.

Was it a dream, or did one of the baddies in The Dukes of Hazzard have its sibling parked on his upper lip?Д«ack in the day, TV teemed with guys like Simon вЂ“ prickly Southern gents with slimeball politesse barely covering their latent savagery. Its previous owners may well have included Dennis Weaver and Burt Reynolds.

That moustache had such a divertingly Southern retro 70s vibe that it was easy to imagine that, before the zombie apocalypse, it had a leading role in an Allman Brothers tribute band. I mean NeganвЂ™s leading lickspittle Simon, the hood redeemed by his moustache. No, I donвЂ™t mean Jesus with his totally wrong centre parting, martial arts moves and boring beard.

How fitting that in Movember, The Walking Dead foregrounded the man with the showвЂ™s most impressive facial hair.
