On the Talking Dead, Scott Gimple said you will see more of Glen - either in flashbacks, the current story line, "parts of him," or another version of him. Whatever that means.

1. Nicholas falls on top of Glen & gets eaten
2. Glen gets bitten/scratched but escapes
3. Glen makes it back to town before he dies, only for Maggie to tell him she's pregnant

They won't turn him into a walker in the herd because that wouldn't work.

So what was the point of Darryl doing a loop back to the herd?

Ugh... yet again, an entire episode based on "hey, that thing we did where we covered ourselves in zombie blood and they ignore us is something we are literally never going to do again."

It's one of those things where you just have to go along for the ride. There are too many alternative avenues they could go more successfully if they wanted to. That's one thing I'll tip my hat towards for Fear the Walking Dead...they put them in situations where they don't really have any other good choices.

In the comics
Glen dies at the hands of Nagen and his bat Lucille.
They should have followed the comic book.
Do we really have to tell people no comic book spoilers in every new season thread?

Just catching up on the series, totally forgot it restarted and watched ep 1/2 last night. Glen is fucked, dead or dying. Too bad, liked him, but I guess you really do have to off a main character every now and then.

The Alexandria peeps are clearly red shirts this season.

Sorry. I forgot that only ~5 people have read the comic book.

Fixed.

Looked like Rick was pretty fucked too.

Glen is definitely dead; he was screaming while they ate him. It's about time they killed a mainstay character. They used to pretty often, but they slowed down an awful lot for many seasons now.

Edit:

Well, I just went back and rewatched Glen and Nick in the alley. For the briefest moment there appears to be an under the trash container, and later as the zombies closed on them maybe Glen scooting under it. Dunno...

I'm thinking he does something like that, then the zombies get drawn off by the others - which lets him get back to camp - infected - to say goodbye to Maggie. Who is pregnant with his child.

It doesn't make any sense to give a main character such a short farewall, plus in the Talking Dead, the creators said some form of him will live on. Since it would be grotesque for him to live on as a zombie, it's gotta be his kid.

Either that, or Maggie goes out to find him & only finds the watch or something. But I think it'd be more fitting & heroic to end Glen's storyarc with a brave but injured escape so that he can sort of die in peace knowing a part of him will live on with Maggie.

If glen is dead that is a crappy way for him to die. He survived from season 1 and to die yb zombies now sucks.

The death seemed way too simple for one of the mainstays of the show. Glen was one of the most liked characters, I would have thought if he went it would be an entire show around that event. It's going to be some contrived BS that lets him escape.

I understand at some point you have to just go with it and not question everything, but why in the world wouldn't you either take a zombie slave (the way Michonne did) or cover yourself in zombie guts when something starts going down? When they're trying to get away from the horde in that little town, just chop down the zombies that were feasting on someone in the alley, smear their goop all over you and then just walk out of the town.

At this point, you'd think that would pretty much be standard procedure for people who go out into potential zombie infested areas.

That's why he has to either survive temporarily (infected) or else Maggie has to find a remnant of him, like his pocketwatch. It was way too short of an ending for such a beloved character.

On the flip side, I liked fun Glen from the beginning. Remember when he drove the honking car into camp in the first season? Haha. But he's been depressed for more than half the seasons now...I don't really like serious Glen. I don't feel like he's been super useful, especially to the viewers as an interesting character. He never really snapped out of his funk, or at least combined the seriousness with the old happy Glen, but I guess they went that route so you wouldn't care too much when they killed him off.

Yeah, at first I was thinking something like that, since the guy did land on top of him, but I'm finding it hard to believe he isn't actually dead.

I'll be honest - I really don't like Glen and was hoping he'd get killed off.

I really thought Rosita, Abraham, or Eugene would go first, however. They pretty much have to keep Rosita around for the eye candy factor. Abraham and Eugene are both pretty useless so either could be killed off and no one would really care.

At this point, I'd be PISSED if he somehow survived that. Not to try and point out logical fallacies in a zombie apocalypse show, but there is no reasonable way he escapes that horde.

Just read a comment on YouTube that Glen throws his walkie talkie with Rick talking on it away from his body. The zombies move towards the walkie talkie, and this gives Glen time to escape. Supposedly he escapes thru the door that Nicholas and Glen tried to open before they were surrounded.

I don't know how true this is. Could seem plausible though.

I am hoping that the whole suicide with Nicholas and Glen falling into the horde was some weird delusional fantasy going on in Nicholas' mind and that we will get a shot of Glen snapping Nicholas out of his delusion and they will still both be alive. Perfect psych out moment for the fans.

I would have jumped into the dumpster and closed the lid. I know they were pretty full dumpsters but I would have dug some trash out and closed the lid. I don't think the zombies could have opened the lid and they can't eat through the metal. They might be able to stay there long enough for the zombies to give up and go away. Otherwise get in the dumpster and use your knife to keep killing all the zombies you can.

Looks like the writers will troll us with it for at least another week. From the 'preview' next week appears to be just a Morgan flashback episode, so I guess they are going to leave us wondering what the hell happened.

Rosita should go first, but she's also hitting a demographic, so not for awhile. They can't kill off Eugene, he's too funny. I think Abraham will be next. He's kinda losing it.

That would make sense. Someone at work mentioned that when Glen leaves Maggie back in the town, she said it's not just us anymore, not just referring to the townspeople ("and that's not the only reason"), so if she's pregnant & Glen already knows, that would explain why he was so motivated to get back there.

That would make sense. It could give him enough time to get away, even if he got bit or scratched...

I wonder where they're going to go next.

It doesn't look like they're going to continue the storyline with the Wolves. I'd be disappointed if they finished off those bad guys already, but they killed what looked to be the leader who took the gun after fighting Morgan, and the rest of them were taken out by Carol & co. It would be odd that an opposing group wouldn't send their full force to take a town, either. But they've put so many hints along the way of how bad the Wolves are...marked zombies, crazy people drawing W's with blood on their foreheads, etc. But they also have no resources, they didn't even have guns, so...yeah.

So either the herd will take the town, or they'll somehow divert the herd & keep the town. Or retake the town post-herd-invasion. But then what? If the Wolves are gone & the herd is gone, what's the next threat? So I'm kind of thinking they'll have more Wolves down the line, because they need some nutcase like the governor to indoctrinate people with the anarchist mindset - plus they seemed pretty spread-out before, like when Morgan met the pair back in the woods.

Also, if Maggie's pregnant, they'll need to work on some kind of cure for the living, so that Judith & Maggie's baby will be safe inside their safe haven. So I'm thinking Eugene will come back in to play in some role for that. Because the only way they can really be safe in this series, the only way they can effectively end it, is if they have a cure for at least the living & a safe place to live, which is pretty much Rick's goal since Judith was born. That way zombies can't get in & anyone who dies inside the walls won't re-animate.

I believe there are more wolves and that's where Enid went.

I know that's the popular theory that she is a wolf, and I suppose it is possible, but it just doesn't make sense to me that they would accept her into their ranks. On top of that, it seems like they found out about Alexandria from the backpack, but they would have already known about it if she was a wolf.

As for what is coming next, my money is on the herd hitting Alexandria, hard.
