The Walking Dead: Speculations and comic spoilers

[ElderlyKoreanLady]

You've been warned

So, we know Glenn is currently alive but do we think he's going to die getting his head caved in by Negan like in the comics?

(All other spoilery topics welcome! I have difficulty keeping quiet on the other thread.)

[ElderlyKoreanLady]

I don't know. Glenn is one of my favourites but I think he's had too many near misses that they won't get away with for much longer.

I also want to know how they're getting rid of Judith. I actually really didn't like that they kept her alive because the longer they keep her alive, the less realistic the scenario is.

[duckbilled]

I really think he will. He keeps escaping at the last minute, they are setting us up! What do you think about JDM as Negan? I think he will be good, just need to get John Winchester out of my mind!

[duckbilled]

Agreed, Judith has to go (heartless....sorry).

[ElderlyKoreanLady]

Oh I love the thought of that actor playing an evil role. He's so charming he could really pull it off. And sexually confuse me in the process!

[ElderlyKoreanLady]

I think losing an eye really added something to the comic character. And as they're not doing away with Rick's hand, it's good to see that they're not actually too afraid of giving a main character a handicap (is that the right word?)

[duckbilled]

He is a very handsome man, and he is a film where he plays a killer landlord....he was really creepy. I think it will work.

Word on the street is that it'll be Daryl meeting his end at the hands of Lucille... It would be a bold move but the perfect way to establish the character of Negan and make us all hate him.

[duckbilled]

I really hope not

[ElderlyKoreanLady]

Hmm. I'd always imagined Daryl going out in flame and glory.

I thought I'd read somewhere that RK was writing Daryl into the comics. Not sure where that was or whether it's true.

[Haggisfish]

Nioooooo! Not darryl.

[rallytog1]

I wasn't saying I wanted it to be Daryl... Just that the US Walking Dead spoiler forums seem pretty convinced he'll take Glenn's comic death. I think Negan will need to kill one of the original cast in order to be seen as the worst baddie we've had yet.

[ElderlyKoreanLady]

Agree rally if Glen doesn't get his comic death, someone big will. I don't think they'd drop that death as it's too important to the story.

[NightWanderer]

No, no more deaths! It's too stressful. They will all be happy and do lots of gardening and farming.

According to imdb Steven Yuen isn't credited for the remaining episodes of this season.

[NightWanderer]

Norman Reedus is though and the actor who plays Carl

[ElderlyKoreanLady]

Is JDM credited for the last episode Steven Yuen is?

[NightWanderer]

Steven is only credited for episode 9. JDM is only credited for episode 16, the last episode. It might be a misdirect but it's interesting.

[ElderlyKoreanLady]

Just realised I can look myself

He's SY isn't even listed for next week's episode. It's either a mistake or something to throw people off the scent...If they're killing him off next week, he needs to be in the episode!

[GinBunny]

I've heard Darryl will be replaced with Glenn as the Lucille death... Apparently Norman Reddus is filming a new show for Fox and he can't do both.
I love Darryl but his character needs a direction for him to stay. And yes, the car that was in the background when his henchmen died - if it gets back to Negun that he was responsible then it does add up.
Sorry.

[OrangeFluff]

I think Abraham will be killed by Negan. Then Daryl will get Abraham's death from the comics, and be killed by his own crossbow (that was stolen from him a few episodes ago).
