Or the walkers pushed the dumpster over Schrödinger’s Glenn. When Glenn and Nicholas first climbed onto the dumpster, the dumpster was positioned directly against a chain link fence. In the follow-up overhead shots, the dumpster is completely surrounded by walkers. The walkers moved the dumpster. Did they move it far enough to hide/protect Glenn? OTOH, maybe the Nicholas character so bitter that even the walkers could no longer stomach him and simply shuffled off stage right before they could chow down on our favorite pizza delivery guy? 🙂 ---

> [@MoonMoon](#): > > It was more magical TWD writing, but they were in a greenhouse covered with melted glass. While I really don’t think that a greenhouse (being used as a greenhouse and not a storage shed) would contain enough stuff to create a fire hot enough to melt glass that high up, here’s a [picture](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/JoeyJoeyPP/Droid/2010-04-14140756.jpg~original) of the windshield of a friend’s truck after it caught fire. But, like I said, foam rubber (and just a foot away) probably burns much hotter than some herbs and spices and garden hoses. In fact, I doubt you could even start a fire big enough to do that kind of damage in a backyard greenhouse. ---

Seems weird they introduced a new enemy before the previous enemy is addressed since I am assuming these guys have no connection to the Wolves. I guess one or the other will join with Alexandria to get rid of the third. ---

I’m leaning towards a theory up thread that Schrodinger’s Glenn will escape and briefly re unite with Maggie before she gets whacked. :dubious: ---

> [@Superdude](#): > > I’ve speculated that perhaps the dumpster had partially rusted through on the bottom, and Glenn was able to climb up inside it to be further protected. That’s as good a guess as any. There’s also a staircase within yards of the dumpster or a possible gap under the fence, maybe Glenn makes use of one of those. I just hope that they show Glenn’s escape (if he escapes 😉 ) rather than resort to another “Rick is trapped in the motorhome - Rick staggers up to the gates of Alexandria” scenarios. They might as well write the TARDIS into the script. 😃 ---

They might as well write the TARDIS into the script. 😃 I thought there were walkers on the other side of the fence, hence the reason they didn’t climb over the top. As for Rick, I didn’t think the motorhome was surrounded just yet, more like they were just coming up the road. ---

Didn’t much care for this episode, myself. Though I suppose it was necessary to set up this other group that’s presumably going to be important later. With each passing episode, my desire for Glenn to actually be dead is increasing. They’d be jerking us around enough if they revealed that he pulled off some miraculous escape one or two episodes later. As more and more episodes go by, it makes the idea of a death fake-out even more unpalatable. I wanted Glenn to live, but I’d prefer it not to be because of shitty writing. On the other hand, shitty writing is kind of what killed him in the first place, so perhaps that makes things even. Anyway, I feel like they’re just filling time now. I get irritated whenever I feel like I can see the AMC suits’ fingerprints on the show. For anyone who’s played the Telltale game: Did anyone else think that this other group with strict rules and the diabetic sister feel like that community in Savannah? And for anyone who hasn’t, you really should play it. ---

If you are referencing Terminus, I’ll be “that” guy who nitpicks geography. Terminus was no where near Savannah. It looked on the map to be slightly to the west of metro Atlanta. Appropriate since, in the early 1800s, Terminus actually was the name of the settlement that eventually became Atlanta. ---

Season 1 spoiler for the Telltale Walking Dead game: I’m referring to the community in Savannah in Season 1 of the Telltale adventure game. I forgot what it was called, but it wasn’t Terminus. The one that exiled weak people. There was a subplot where one of the characters was a resident of the community and was sleeping with one of the doctors to get insulin for her sister.
