Re: Walking Dead
I wouldn't count Glenn out yet.

Maybe, but this show, being what it is, Rick should have known something ALWAYS goes wrong. All kidding aside, the plan just had too many moving parts and was too complicated. Something was doomed to go wrong in a plan so dependent on perfect timing and so vulnerable to the slightest miscalculation. Herding zombies and cats is a losing proposition. :wink2: -- AlAl,
I think Rick's plan might have worked if the Wolves hadn't attacked Alexandria.

Even if the walkers were munching on Nicholas at first there was too many of them not to have feasted on Glenn too.Hope they don't go for the Glenn escapes this scenario as it would cheapen the show.

Perhaps Glenn gets bitten here and there but somehow manages to escape. Similar to the married Alexandria guy who was bitten and didnt make it back home despite Michone's assurances. Unlike that guy, though, Glenn makes it back to see Maggie. There is then a heartbreaking reunion before he succumbs or otherwise dies from his injuries, possibly in a final, heroically sacrificial act. This would fit the narrative that we'll see Glenn in "some form", and give fans some level of consolation for his loss.
The internet is blowing up today that Glenn is not dead; if that is the case, that's some terrible writing to pull something like that on the fans of the show and Glenn in particular.
The fact that The Talking Dead was cryptic about it last night was giveaway #1; in the past when a main character is killed off, he/she is on The Talking Dead as a guest.
Last night, no Glenn.
If it's true, that is some weaksauce right there.
I could see Glen maybe make a reappearance as a zombie. That would have quite an impact on Rick's crew and the viewers given how long they have tried to avoid that fate. If they somehow save Glen it will be the biggest ripoff since the dream sequence in Dallas (or whatever show that was) that brought back the main character after killing him off. Btw: that truck horn must have been really loud since at one point they said they were another half hour away from home. They must have been miles away when they heard it. Poor Daryl has been completely wasted. He gets to do nothing except grimace and look zen.
JMO, but Glenn appearing all A-ok at this point is a cheat. That whole crawling under the dumpster idea just doesn't wash. Dumpsters have about 6 inches of ground clearance with small wheels and if they don't have wheels, they have zero clearance. No way Glenn fits under a dumpster. I hope the writers have more respect for the viewers than to pull a 'Dallas'. It was all a dream... -- Al
