Careful, one Doper got a super sandy vag when I referred to Glenn and Maggie as Glaggie. Some folks are very sensitive about couple naming!
So, how did a dead Nicholas tackle Glenn? Guy’s got the reflexes of a mongoose to stay alive this long. A dead body collapses your way, and you can’t divert it off the dumpster without going down?
Glenn is dead. That was quite the shocker. More so than the smoking Alexandrian who was chopped in front of Carol at the start of the Wolves attack. WTH WAS THAT??? YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME. NOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo…
Nickolas was a coward. He tried to change. Glenn gave him one too many chances. It’s obvious that Nickolas was having mental and physical problems dealing with the walker breakout. Not exactly the 1st choice to lead a group to safety.
Morgan has let too many Wolves escape. The Wolves who attacked Rick were the Wolves from Alexandria.
I’m not sure why Daryl left Abe Ford and Sasha. Was he going to Alexandria or was he looking for Rick? After he had received no response from Rick, Daryl returned to Abe and Sasha and continued with the herding.
Next week is a 90 minute show. What’s the occasion? Big walker attack? Big Wolf attack? Enid comes back as the queen of forest clan?
I kinda wondered the same thing. Along with the blood splatter on Glenn’s face when Nick shoots himself - the angle is all wrong.
-They’re facing each other, Nick uses his right hand, raises it to his temple and fires, and we see Glenn’s face get splattered from his right side - this would only occur if they were standing next to each other facing the same direction.
-Also, we don’t see Nick pull the trigger. We hear the noise and see the blood splatter on Glenn’s face, then see them fall off the dumpster.
-One more thing: they fell off the dumpster, which means their feet are what’s closest to it, and their heads are furthest away, yet when the camera pulls away, we see Glenn’s head next to the dumpster instead of his feet? This is physically impossible.
-And yet one more thing : in the pull away shot, the fence that was behind the dumpster is now gone??
All of this leads me to believe it’s some sort of hallucination or something like a weird dream sequence.
Maybe they weren’t, but at the end of the episode, when Daryl looped back around and met back up with Abraham’s car at the intersection, they seemed to speed off.
And if you do the math, you walk at about 3-4 miles an hour. So, 20 miles should only take them 5 to 6 hours (and less than that if they were already 5 miles in).
So, if about 3 or 4 hours transpired between Daryl leaving and looping back, they should’ve been at the 20-mile mark.
Which brings me to what I thought was the shittiest writing in this episode: Daryl departing from the herd to do absolutely nothing. WTF?
As for the 90-min episode, it looks like it’s going to focus mainly on Morgan flashbacks, as he fights his internal demons. I hope we get some Glenn resolve next week, but doubtful.
But didn’t they do the “Glenn’s gotta be dead” fakeout last season when he was shot and fighting Nicholas and walkers in the woods? I like Glenn but he needs to be dead this time. All the violence in the last several episodes and only bit characters get killed? It’s about time the luck of one of the principals ran out. (And Glenn doesn’t help himself by volunteering for every mission.)
Just rewatched the scene and it doesn’t look like Nicholas was on top of Glenn. Also, Glenn is obviously in distress but that’s lessened by the lack of audio (except for music) in the footage.
Michonne should have made those hidden walkers pets (they were in a pet store after all) and used them to help limpy Joe and gimpy Jill get out of there safely.
Two might not have been enough for the group, but she could have made two, then used them to safely get out and make a few more.
But then the douchey guy with glasses might have grumbled at her.
He also said “or parts of Glen”…:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
As much as it would be a huge copout for Glen to live, I DON’T GIVE A FUCK, I will jump for joy if he makes it, I don’t care if it means he’s rescued by a flying unicorn that can kill zombies by farting on them.
If they play it that way the show loses more credibility than if Glenn had miraculously rolled under the dumpster, found a manhole and pulled an Andy Dufresne to safety 500 yards away.
I think Darryl went back because Rick said something about depending on them to take care of the herd, and hoping (and believing) that the Alexandrians, (or Carol and Carl) could take care of themselves.
Magick.
Anyway, if Glen’s NOT dead, then we’re having one of those “he never got out of the cock-a-doodie CAR!” moments.
And if he is, then the show has one fewer character that I was invested in, and I wasn’t invested in very many. I suppose if it boiled down to Carol and she maintained her current level of awesomeness, I’d stick around…
Yvette did answer something I’ve always wondered about TD; whether the guests get an advance screening or if they’re watching along with the studio audience.
We’ve never seen a walker go after grey matter so he’d just end up like the torso zombie Rick came across in the pilot.
Well they could have Maggie turn out to be pregnant with Glen’s child, but when they’d either have to do another time skip or have her spend the next 3 seasons pregnant. The only point I can see in such a subplot would be confirmation that no, everyone isn’t sterile and the human race has a future after all, but they could just as easily resolve that with a random background Alexandrian having a baby. On the other hand it would be cool to see what happens when a woman miscarries late in term.
Am all for that as long as we get a few scenes of a naked Steven Yeun scavenging for clothes, but AMC would probably have a problem with that.
That worked much to well for the writers to ever use it again.
I think good evidence of Glen not being dead is the extremely boring promo for a 90 minute episode. It obviously can’t be all about Morgan and his journey. Just spending the tease, maybe one act on a secondary character’s backstory is plenty, like Enid’s. The reason we only saw Morgan is that once they are done with his stuff, we go to Glen conspicuously not dead in most of the scenes relevant to next week’s story.
The promo had nothing about people being worried about Glen, trying to find him, aftermath of finding out that he is dead. Even if it covered next week’s main story and kept Glen offscreen, we would be wondering why no one seemed concerned that he was missing.
24 would always end with Jack Bauer facing certain death, followed by a promo showing him running around shooting people, having magically beaten both certain doom and traffic. They couldn’t let that happen with Glen and had to promote an episode without being able to show any of it, so we got a bunch of Morgan BS instead.
