I'm looking forward to next week's ep, I just wish it wasn't Morgan centric, I'm steadily starting to dislike him.

I guess if it is a Glenn in flashback, it's either set between S5-6, or during the ride to Noah's town, or on the run after they escape from Terminus. I never did quite grasp how long they were on the road after Terminus. Is it possible the Morgan flashback ends where his first minsode from last season begins? Thus tying in with the post Terminus walk and Glenn in flashback?

Has anyone ever taken the option of using their last bullet on themselves when cornered by walkers?

Nicholas?

I know nothing of the subject I am about to ask, so please be gentle with me when answering.

Do the walkie talkies only require batteries to work?
No ...radio waves..? Or anything else?

If it comes to that then surely Glenn must have killed at least one living person during either of the Governor's two attacks on the prison??
It was said in an interview with the cast I read this summer, that Glen was the only one who had not killed anyone. I just thought maybe Maggie had not killed anyone, but I was wrong. It is only Glen.

Just batteries, yes there are 'radio waves' but the walkie talkies do everything they need themselves .

See you in 2 weeks, Glen.

(even though there's no possible way out)
I really hope he's not dead but the music changed as he was being enveloped by walkers. It is a rubbish way to say goodbye after 6 seasons, he deserved more

Radios are another thing that riles me. They should all be in constant comms even with Alexandria but it's like mobile phones in movies, they have to find (or blatently ignore the tech) for so many plots to work anywhere near convincingly.

As for Glenn, I was hoping they were going to resolve the outcome straight after the ad break when it appeared he was done for, but no we'll have to wait at least 2 weeks if next week is a flashback episode about Morgan that I've heard is happening. Hopefully it will include some scenes of current events to keep the story moving.

I wish they'd let fans of the show buy the DVD/Blu-ray as soon as the season starts, then we don't have to worry about future episode spoilers or all the adverts.

Glad they're not sticking 100% to the comic, either with different characters that don't even exist in the comic, or major events happening to other characters, so everything is still up in the air for future stuff and not as spoiled as it could be if people new for a fact what is coming.

Maybe Glen could have crawled under the bin out of the walker's reach, then something - gunshots, an attack from behind, sirens - distracts the walkers. Probably wishful thinking, even good guys die

Here's a good episode synopsis (well the last half anyway!!):

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...ly-killed.html

...regarding the zombie horde - what exactly are they trying to achieve by getting them to follow Abraham in the car?! Where are they leading the zombies too ?!?!?


.....as for Rick being trapped in the RV, when the camera panned up away from it and into the sky and you could see all the zombies heading straight for it, straight away I thought of the very same scene, way back in the season, when Rick was trapped inside the tank, and the zombies were closing in on him!!!

The only way I can see Glenn escaping that is if a the walkers are somehow distracted by a zombiefied Fonzie in waterskis jumping over a zombie shark.

Anything else would be just ridiculous.

Thank you.
So, these could have worked at Versailles in 1780? With only batteries? How far away can they be? And how did Rick switch between who he talked to?

Edit: With regard to his scent; it's possible that Glynn messes himself out of fear, and that masks his scent enough for him to make a grand escape. Surely zombies don't concern themselves with the smell of shit?
Zombie Guts.

It really annoys me that they don't cover themselves in zombie guts more often. In season 1 Rick and Glenn covered themselves in guts and walked amongst the dead without alerting them and Michonne used the technique in season 3 when she stood at the fence of the prison surrounded by the unaware zombies.

I still think it will be a bit of a cop out if Glenn survives. All it takes is one of the un-dead to bite one of his limbs and he's toast.

Abraham and Sasha are leading them 20 miles out in the hope they continue on that direction and don't return to Alexandria. Hence why in this episode they got to 5 miles and decided it wasn't far enough so chose to stay on mission.

Not sure what all the others were doing walking alongside in the woods other than to put themselves in mortal danger and give the horde distractions when they were spotted or started shooting/screaming. Was a bit disappointed when it was obvious we'd have a full episode of the group trying to get back without getting attacked or injuring themselves, yet Morgan had made it back unscathed in no time. All were within 5 miles of Alexandria as that is the point Abraham and Sasha got to when deciding to continue as Daryl broke off and the rest had already started back by then.

Interesting screen shots in that article. So from those:

1. Glen looks dead. Interesting comment from the talking dead show that I didn't watch saying we'll see something of Glenn in a future episode to tie up the story. For the story's sake I hope he is dead so it's not just Alexandria red shirts each episode, and to keep us believing none of them are safe. If he somehow survives (again) it just reinforces that the original crew are invincible.

2. Confirms it was the wolves that attacked Rick in the motorhome. Screen shot shows first attacker with a W on forehead.

3. Conveniently there is a building right across the road from the motorhome so gives Rick a hiding place if he can't get the motorhome started. I'd probably torch it and go hide in the building until the horde is distracted enough to leg it back to Alexandria.

Not sure if been posted but took this off hollywood life website.

When HollywoodLife.com‘s sister site TVLine asked Scott if Glenn’s (Steven Yeun) really dead, but he just said, “[Laughs] I’m not going to answer it.” However, when asked how long we’ll have to wait to find out if Glenn’s really dead, he said, “Not terribly long. It’ll be in the first half of the season. And there are only five episodes left.”

"I definitely want viewers to have an emotional experience either way. There are twists and turns, and bad things happen. Ultimately, it’s all part of a bigger story. I hope that the audience will just wait to see the greater story and see how it all plays out. They’re kind of stopping in the middle of the movie, which they have to because there’s a week between the reels. But we’re still in the middle of the movie,” Scott added.

If Glen makes it out of that alive, that's too far - fetched in my opinion.

Also, while love letter guy was being eaten alive, couldn't Michonne or one of the other guys have stabbed his head or shot him through the fence to put him out misery?
YES! I was screaming at the TV just put him out of his misery, and the other girl with the ankle injury. a gunshot to the head in these cases is actually the decent thing to do

Overall another action packed episode. I know it makes it good tv but each episode being focused on a different crew is slightly annoying, but I guess cant change that

So many questions but again that's what the writers love to do to us!

PS I miss Andrea too

For me, TWD has reached cross roads and they either stick generally to the comics and will be more of the same formula i.e find a community and then some badass douche bag messes it up for the gang like what happened in Hershel's farm/prison and now Alexandria (apparently the bad guy is being prepped for season 7) or chart a new direction independent of the comics once this season is over. I believe an interesting plot would be finding patient x ( someone who gets bitten by the zombies and survives, becoming genetically modified or something along those lines). This someone becomes the key for human survival and Rick has to protect this human and gets him somewhere where he can make a difference.
Right now I like TWD, but using the same recipe since season 2 is beginning to take its toll on me and I feel my interest is waning. It really needs a new direction and to throw a new curveball. Killing zombies without an end in sight is becoming rather boring.
Also if Glenn survives, that would be taking the piss.

I don't that is a bad thing. It means we get lots of zombie action. Where as if they moved on, then the action would be over quicker and they'd probably be in a resting phase again.

Additionally, looking at the screenshots here : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...ly-killed.html

...there clearly is no dead body lying on top of Glen so all them "theories" about a dead Nicholas lying on top of Glen, and it is Nicholas's guts we see and not Glens, can't hold any truth....!!!

The body is further down Glenn's torso.

At one point you see Glenn's shoulders moving and they are nearer the ground than where the walkers are ripping out the guts.

Plus not a single drop of blood comes out of Glenn's mouth which it would if he was having his guts torn out.




Still no way he should be able to get out though unless some outside force kills/draws away the Walkers.

He's pinned under Nicholas' body which in turn has numerous Walkers leaning on it so it's very unlikely he would be able to pull himself free (plus any movement would attract the Walkers to him).

well i watched the second episode. what a mess rick made of that. complete stupidity and acting like rambo all the time. way too much rambo and not enough intelligent thinking ....

also why dont they all get swords like michonne and practice head chopping as she can take several out when the others have to get up and close and personal with the zombies to take them out...and risk themselves. i think glen is dead. no way could he survive. plus the farce of them scurrying about like headless chickens....there were many buildings in the alleys with ladders to the roof. i would have been up one of them like a shot instead of running in to a dead end. i was so dissapointed in their survival skills last night.

He doesn't need to get away - we've seen them cover themselves with guts before to get through herds. He'll probably do the same............

I think the pic with him without a body on top of him is when he gets under the dumpsters as there are no walkers on top of him
