Walking Dead Spoilers, News & Talk

[Kimbo]

"Conquer" is a strong title for a season-ending episode. Thumbs up. That’s what’s ahead in The Walking Dead Season 5Season 5, Episode 16, which airs this Sunday, March 29 at 9 p.m. ET and will last an extra 30 minutes. Hopefully at least 10 of those minutes contains actual footage, not comercials. All of the Alexandria-set episode titles appear to be tied to Dale’s Faulkner quote about time from back in Season 1. But they chose "Conquer" for the finale, so who will conquer what?

AMC shared its usual promo and two sneak peeks, then shared an extra brief but juicy preview when promoting the weekend marathon. Since this finale episode is supersized, and they have never teased Morgan even once this season, there’s a lot the promos won’t be telling us about what happens next. But here are some things we learn from the promos, along with a few filming and comic book spoilers that could help out with the context.


We need to talk about Rick

We could talk about Rick all day long and consider it a day well spent. The people of Alexandria? Maybe not. AMC's promo starts with a close-up of Rick's bandaged face (looking close to the comic) then shows Deanna leading a group meeting, apparently at night in front of a fire. She says, "We're going to talk about Rick Grimes." Curious to see if this goes as well as Dale's let's talk about Randall meeting in Season 2, where it was basically Dale vs. Shane (again) with Andrea jumping in on Dale's side at the end while everyone else basically looked at their feet, waiting for someone else to make the tough decision. No one wants to take blame so they stay silent.

Alexandrians in fear

Is that let's talk about Rick, bay-bee scene also where Jessie and a group of Alexandrians look scared? That shot is in the newer, shorter promo. (See below) They all look afraid, and they seem to be facing a fire, so it could be in the same scene.


Maggie defends Rick

AMC's first sneak peek shows Maggie — who has been working with Deanna on the political side — talking to Deanna and Reg. Deanna asks what Maggie needs to talk about. Maggie says the meeting tonight. Deanna says she wants to talk to everyone about what happened and what we need to do about it. (Why not just do nothing, as usual? She's used to turning a blind eye to problem people like Pete, Nicholas and her own son.) Maggie says, "If it includes turning Rick away, it's not gonna work." Deanna says to tell her what that means. Maggie says she let all of them in. She talked to them and decided. Now she wants to put that decision on frightened people who might not have the whole story. That's not leadership. Reg says tonight is just a forum for people to speak their minds. Deanna says she'll make the decision as she has done since the beginning. Maggie says Rick was frustrated, the things he's seen, the things they've all lost. Deanna notes that Rick took a gun and pointed it at people. Maggie says he didn't pull the trigger. Reg points out that Michonne stopped him. Michonne, a member of his own group. Deanna says she's going to do what she has to do. What will that be? She seems smart enough to be able to see through guys like Nicholas, even if she hasn't done anything about it, so would she really exile Rick, knowing that it means they would be losing all of his team?


Rick - perp walk?

In the promo, we see Rick walk down the sidewalk in between a group of guys. Is he headed to some kind of trial? Going to whatever passes for Alexandria's jail? And for heaven's sake, why is Nicholas not locked up? If anyone deserves to be locked up, it's Nicholas. And Pete. Rick just needed a time out. Later in the promo, Rick appears to walk past Deanna's house, or wherever she is looking down from. It does seem like he's about to face his judgment. Maybe she’s made her decision and she’s going to share it. In the comic, Douglas Monroe and Rick had a heart-to-heart; Douglas shared the story of Alexandria’s founder and how he had to be exiled. Rick shared the story of Shane and Lori and how he never wanted to be leader to begin with. Maybe they’ll do a version of that here, with Deanna explaining why she felt the need to exile those people she mentioned back in Episode 12.

Glenn checks in

We see Glenn asking Rick, "Did you want this?" Is this in Rick's room, like a quarantine place? Rick answers, "No. I hit my limit."

Knife out

Who is that breaking out the knife in the dark? It looks like it might be Rick’s bandaged face.

Father Gabriel, what are you doing?

Super curious about Gabriel. He is seen appearing to return to Alexandria in the main promo. He's wearing a white shirt and even his demeanor is different. The shorter newer promo shows a guy in a white shirt, seems to be the same one, stabbing a walker in the road. So not something Gabriel would do so are we seeing this wrong or what?


Daryl and Aaron on the move

Only a couple of shots of Daryl and Aaron in the finale promo. The first shows them walking through a field during the day, possibly trying to chase that light they saw in the distance in Episode 15. Brave of them, if that's the case, but they want the story behind the upswing in walkers. Or maybe they just want to see if whoever is at the light wants to be recruited. Maybe it's Morgan! Later in the promo, Daryl and Aaron run past a trailer. According to The Spoiling Dead Fans filming spoilers from the set, the writing on the trailer is "how the harvest gets home." Their source said we will see some of The Wolves this week, so get ready.

Hand over the gun

As someone pointed out for us, this gun hand-off appears to be from Rick (bandaged hand) to Michonne (tie). In the comic, after she knocked him out, she said to get his gun. Maybe he got another weapon and he's trying to give it back; her hand suggests she's saying to keep it.

Sasha aims

Sasha appears to be inside some house and she's aiming her sniper rifle. What is she aiming at? Is she in the same house that Rick is in, in the mini promo?


Glenn seems to sob

There are a couple of shots of Glenn in the promo, beyond asking Rick if he wanted this. We see Glenn pass a walker in the woods, so we know he goes outside the gate. Later, we see Glenn at night, almost looking like he's crying. The Spoiling Dead Fans tackled this one, and their source said this is tied to Nicholas (who dug up the gun he stole from Rick's blender). The said Nicholas shoots Glenn in the shoulder and, in this particular shot, Glenn is actually pointing a gun to Nicholas' head. He doesn't seem to shoot, though. He spares his life and carries Nicholas away. All life is precious to Glenn.

Walkers in Alexandria?

The Spoiling Dead Fans said walkers don't overrun Alexandria, but the shorter promo seems to show a walker either in Alexandria or outside a house that seems to be in the area. Rick is there, with his coat on, like he's outside. Where is that, though?

Rick's weapon

Toward the end of the promo, Rick takes a serrated weapon out of a sleeve. Is that his red machete? If so, did Carol give it to him, or Glenn or Michonne?


Carol vs. Pete

In the Talking Dead sneak peek, Carol knocks on the door, then barges into Pete's house (with another casserole?) and tells him to check on Tara. He tells her to get out. She breaks out her knife. "I could kill you right now. I could. I will. And then, who would believe I did it because I didn't like you? No one. They'd believe you tried to hurt me. They'd definitely believe that." Pete looks terrified. Is he really in any state to be helping Tara, though? Not saying Tara dies. Apparently no one in Rick's group dies, which is good news.
There are some big answers on what happens, but still many more questions and surprises ahead!

It comes back tonight IPTV Talk Zombie fans......here is some spoilers and rumors:

The Walking Dead is back on Valentine’s Day with the highly-anticipated mid-season premiere titled “No Way Out.” Earlier in the week, AMC posted a trailer for the first four minutes of the season 6, episode 9 return to Sunday nights. There has been a lot of speculation about how the group might survive the walker horde that threatened them at the end of the TWD finale before what feels like much too long of a break. Now, on The Walking Dead mid-season premiere eve, a complete recap of the episode due to air tomorrow has been leaked, completely spoiling the mid-season premiere. Keep reading if you want to know everything before AMC airs “Now Way Out on Sunday, February 14 at 9 p.m.

Unreality TV was quick to disclaim that nothing in their recap turned spoilers can really be confirmed until the episode actually airs. Until then, here is the scoop. Be warned, this is the ultimate spoiler for season 6, episode 9. Don’t read any further unless you want to know all the news for the upcoming episode.


When TWD went on break in the middle of season 6, Rick’s group was about to use one of their oldest tricks to survive a mob of walkers. Rick, Carl, Michonne, Judith, Sam, Jessie, and Ron were covered in walker guts and blood. The group planned to walk through the horde using their disguise but that would be too easy since it had been done as long ago as season 1. While wading through a sea of walkers, Sam freaked out and started calling for his mom.

Now everybody knows that walkers are attracted to noise and as the horde of walkers starts turning toward Rick’s crew they all cling to each other and follow right behind Rick. After Sam’s screaming, he ends up getting bit and his mother, Jessie, gets bit on the shoulder too. Here’s where the action really starts and we find out the details of the spoiler about what happened to Carl’s eye.

When Jessie gets bit, Rick instinctively reaches for an ax and cuts off Jessie’s arm to save Carl. That’s when Ron picks up his mom’s gun and shoots at Rick. Not before Carl jumps in the way, though, sending the bullet right through his eye. This is the explanation behind the Fox Russia leak of Carl pictured with a bandage over his eye so we can only assume that he survives. Michonne avenges the shot and without hesitation, sinks her katana into Ron’s chest, thus ending that whole family within seconds. Father Gabriel finally makes himself useful (or does he?) when he offers to take Judith and keep her safe so Rick can get some medical attention for Carl.

Let’s jump back to that first four minutes that everyone has already seen. Sasha, Abraham, and Daryl are in dire need of a miracle, or so we thought. The super trailer makes it look like someone from the good side is going to die after the group is forced to hand over their weapons. We already know Negan is a really bad dude and these are obviously guys who run his errands. Shame on us for losing our faith of Daryl Dixon though because, as usual, the fan favorite who has been highly favored to die by spoiler fanatics, ends up being the one to save the day.

Daryl gets his chance to save his group when the leader of the bikers escorts him around to the back of the truck to check for more weapons. Thank goodness for that spare rocket launcher Daryl had ready to go because he was able to take out the whole biker gang in one big boom. Just like that Daryl, Sasha, and Abraham hop back in the truck and head back toward the others.

Glenn and Enid are able to get back into the safe zone. They were shown at the mid-season finale trying to make their way back and in the most un-incredible part of the TWD return, Glenn, Enid, and Maggie are all safe. There were a lot of rumors that Glenn might die while trying to save Maggie because he’ll never just leave her stranded. It turns out that Glenn prevailed again and did not die in season 6, episode 9. That does not mean that Glenn won’t die soon though because Steven Yeun certainly has been talking up a storm about life after Glenn’s death.

There was a whole lot of talk about who might die in the mid-season premiere, “No Way Out.” It was really starting to sound like there would be some major deaths in Rick’s camp, with some speculating that Daryl and Glenn might make their exit. Imagine our relief to learn that the only deaths in Rick’s group are those of Sam, Jessie, and Ron. That story line wasn’t going to work anyway because no one likes seeing Rick as the wife stealer. That would make him just as bad as Shane, who romanced his wife when they weren’t sure if he was alive or dead.

There is no team better than Michonne and Rick. Big props to them for spending some time killing walkers in the most incredible ways. Wouldn’t it be neat if Rick and Michonne could connect in more ways than just friendship? She surely has more in common with Rick than Jessie ever could. What do you think of the season 6, episode 9 mid-season return of The Walking Dead? Was there just enough action or should TWD have done things differently?

Sorry, 'Walking Dead' Fans — Beloved Daryl Dixon Will Probably Die This Season

The Walking Dead is no stranger to killing off members of the cast. Aside from Game of Thrones, no other show on television can compete with its annual brutality and gore. Yet in recent seasons, The Walking Dead has diverted from killing the biggest characters on its cast, instead opting for lesser developed characters to die in their places.

Thankfully, the series is gearing up to raise the stakes. Negan (to be played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan), arguably the most sadistic villain in the comics that the show is based on, will make an appearance this season. In all likelihood, he will be appearing in the season finale, akin to his game-changing introduction in the comics. (Plus, he's only penned to show up in the finale on IMDb, though that's far from concrete evidence.)

To the uninitiated, Negan will bring a darker element and a tangible threat to Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the group — one not felt since we saw the Governor (David Morrissey) in season three. The turning point will likely start with a brutal death of a beloved character. However, there are legitimate reasons to believe that this character will be Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) — much to the dismay of his adoring, intense fanbase.

In the comics, Negan makes an example out of Glenn (Steven Yeun) — picked from random out of Rick's group — and brutally clubs him to death with his barbed wire-laced baseball bat, "Lucille." It's a chilling scene that has a lasting impact on the group. For one, it drastically affects Maggie's (Lauren Cohan) storyline, as she recovers from the death of her husband.

However, the show has already laid out compelling reasons for Negan to instead target this rage at Daryl. After a brief encounter with Negan's lackeys alongside Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) and Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green), Daryl blows up the group with a rocket launcher from the back of their truck, calling them "a bunch of a$$holes."

There appears to be a car in the background of the shot where Daryl blows up the crew, though it could just as easily be attributed to a minor production gaffe. However, if someone else were to witness the event, or if the member of the crew Daryl took out at the back of the truck somehow survived, Negan would know who's responsible for killing his men. (Killing some of his lackeys is why he goes to Rick for a public execution of a group member, Glenn, in the comics).

Furthermore, the show has repeatedly teased Glenn's death without actually following through with it. In the first half of season six, he was seemingly eaten alive by horde of zombies — though it's later revealed to be a clever camera trick.

Even in the midseason premiere, the show again tosses up Glenn as potential zombie bait before Daryl, Sasha and Abraham come in to rescue him and the rest of the gang in Alexandria with their newly acquired stash of weapons. Glenn's mortality has become a frequently repeated — and frustrating — trope. Killing him would actually be expected at this point.

The latest episode also introduces someone who could be the newest member of the group: Jesus. He takes a similar persona to that of Michonne and Daryl, a loner who is very capable of holding his own in the zombified world. However, he adds another "lone wolf" character to a show that now has several, as Morgan (Lennie James) certainly qualifies as one too.

In seasons past, characters with similar characteristics were soon killed off (think Dale dying shortly after Hershel showed up, taking over the "old man with strong moral compass" role). It would make little sense for Jesus to be introduced only to die shortly after, especially since his character is still alive in the comics.

Tracing characters back to their comic origins is another reason Daryl's life span on the show is an ongoing concern. He isn't based on a comic book character — rather he and his brother, Merle (Michael Rooker), were created specifically for the show. As such, there are no inherent callbacks to the source with his actions. The showrunners can do whatever they want.

The show has also already made subtle, artistic hints that a Daryl death could be at the hands of a biker (like Negan), when Daryl crashes next to a zombified biker in the sixth episode of season six. It's not out-of-reach for AMC to do such a thing — they did just that with drug kingpin Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) on Breaking Bad with the use of a pink teddy bear, foreshadowing the way in which he would die later in the series.

It might not be what Daryl's fans are hoping for. The phrase, "If Daryl dies, we riot," has become so popular that it's available on merchandise.

If nothing else, the season six finale — and Negan's potential entrance — should prove to be a very disturbing end. According to the actors, it'll be a lot, even by the show's incredibly gruesome standards.

"I felt sick to my stomach when I read the [finale] script," Andrew Lincoln told Entertainment Weekly. "It was the first day in the whole six years of working on The Walking Dead that I was late for work because I woke up in the middle of the night and I couldn't get back to sleep. I was so angry and frustrated and I felt sick. And that was just after reading it."

The Walking Dead's comic book creator and TV series executive producer Robert Kirkman has already said that Negan's appearance will be an "atomic bomb" that's dropped on the show. The best way to demonstrate this may be killing off its most beloved character.
