[Zow]

I'm disappointed either way. I hate that Glenn is dead if he in fact is and I would hate if he miraculously survived that scenario. I'm just not seeing a clear way he could survive.

I didn't see a clear way that that white van could survive, either.

 

[Copeman]

On the Talking Dead, which I only saw the first half, that lady said Glen had never killed a person, and to "look it up!". Is this true? I'm trying to go back and think about it, but there is just so many scenes/season now, I can't remember. I guess it's true?

Yep.

I mean I get everyone WANTS him to be alive.

He was a core character and a good one at that but to survive that situation would be just defying any zombie show logic.

 

[Zow]

I'm tapping out if he is alive.

I can't believe some of you guys are already making your possible excuses.

He's going to be alive. There's no way the death of a major character would be that uneventful.

We had several slow mo and close up shots.

Watching him getting eaten alive.

What would be an eventful death?

Sacrificing himself to save Maggie or Rick. Seems in line with his character arc. Or being killed by a major antagonist ala Herschel. The Glenn character has definitely run

his course. But his murder would be a good way to introduce the next governor type character.

I also see this all happening at the end of the episode and then the actor appearing on talking dead.

Well, he did sort of sacrifice himself for the group. Michonne told him he shouldn't go because he has a wife and he told her that's the reason he was going.

He was a core character and a good one at that but to survive that situation would be just defying any zombie show logic.

And I really want him to still be alive.

Ah, ok.

Fair enough, I can see wanting that type of demise for Glen.

 

[urbanhack]

Nicholas fell ontop of Glenn. That was Nicholas intestines. Glenn survives. At least thats what i hope.

there were hundreds of zombies. how do they not eat them both...his face was right there.

dumb.

 

[Zow]

Per wikia this is true. Glenn only killed people once they were zombified.

 

[Copeman]

I've read/seen a few people state that Glenn maybe rolled under the garbage bin. If he was a few inches high, maybe he could roll under one of those. And as far as getting up and getting inside of it would require him to...well....do just that. I doubt he's even able to get up with that horde standing around him.

That said, I do recall a scene in previous trailers about the group coming along one of these trash containers, and it was an aerial shot of them approaching it, as if they were about to look inside. That scene has not been shown yet. Does anyone else remember that from the previews??

 

[Godsbrother]

There will be a point in this season where Maggie will go looking for him. She will come across his devoured body and not realize it's him....until she spots the watch her father gave him, which the show purposely reminded the viewer of last night.

Maybe that's when they'll acknowledge he's dead?....Good point.

I absolutely loathe the thought of watching Maggie searching for Glenn for 4 or 5 episodes. I can imagine all of the slow-moving flashbacks of the two of them we'll have to endure.

 

[packersfan]

Great episode. I really hope Glenn isn't dead but if he isn't they better come up with one helluva good explanation for how he survived that.

 

[kentric]

The Good:

- close-ups of the walker faces around the dumpster.

- the fact they didn't have Rick call out to Glenn and all you hear on Glenn's side is the sound of walkers feeding (that would have been a bit over the top, but you've seen things like that in tons of shows).

The Bad:

- Killing off that woman with the bad leg. She had a lovely jiggle to her.

- Glenn being killed off

- Darryl and that whole waste of time riding around doing nothing. I know a lot of people love that kind of thing, but to me its a time waster.

The Ugly:

- if they have Glenn come out of that alive, it will be jumping the shark (as several have stated).

eta. I don't think they were Glenn's intestines being ripped out as it looked like it was coming out of Glenn's chest area. Although if that's guy's stomach was over Glenn's chest, there would have been a lot of Glenn exposed. One other thing supporting a "Glenn is alive" scenario is that when they panned out of the close-up shot of Glenn being ripped apart (or not), they showed that there were only a couple of walkers feeding, with the space being too tight. That's why you had all those walkers doing the sleepwalk move (hands in front of them trying to get them some sweet Chinese food.

 

[Copeman]

So they got up on the garbage container, why couldn't they have climbed the fence from that point and then hopped up on the roof that was right next to them?

 

[James Daulton]

I still don't understand why everyone doesn't get a katana like Michone. She mows through the walkers and doesn't have to get super close like with a regular knife or hatchet.

 

[urbanhack]

I still don't understand why everyone doesn't get a katana like Michone. She mows through the walkers and doesn't have to get super close like with a regular knife or hatchet.

Yea....i've seen lots of them just lying around on the ground.

 

[kentric]

I still don't understand why everyone doesn't get a katana like Michone. She mows through the walkers and doesn't have to get super close like with a regular knife or hatchet.

Difficult to find quality katanas these days. Most of them are crap which would end up breaking after limited use.

 

[mozzy84]

- Darryl and that whole waste of time riding around doing nothing. I know a lot of people love that kind of thing, but to me its a time waster.

What was he doing exactly? I missed his whole reasoning for going on a cruise.

 

[packersfan]

The Good:

- the fact they didn't have Rick call out to Glenn and all you hear on Glenn's side is the sound of walkers feeding (that would have been a bit over the top, but you've seen things like that in tons of shows).

I thought for sure this was going to happen when Rick was trying to contact him as a way to let the group know he was dead. That it didn't happen could be a potential clue that Glenn isn't dead for those hoping that's the case.

 

[kentric]

So they got up on the garbage container, why couldn't they have climbed the fence from that point and then hopped up on the roof that was right next to them?

Looked like there was a good 5-6 feet distance b/w the dumpster and the fence. Figure Glenn would have eventually gone for it. The other guy, not so much.

 

[packersfan]

- Darryl and that whole waste of time riding around doing nothing. I know a lot of people love that kind of thing, but to me its a time waster.

He was going back to Alexandria to help the people there.

Not seeing how he could have slithered away under a dumpster and still not get bit while under there.

Forgetting the fact these dumpsters are usually a few inches off the ground.

I suppose he could have climbed to get to that other to building to the right but Nick blowing his own head off changed things up for him.

I don't even see how we could say that is Nick's body on top of him.

The initial angle of Glen on the ground shows nothing on his chest while the other angle appears to have a hump where they are clawing at but they are awfully close to his neck.

This is true. A machete would be a better choice anyway, imo.

Also, I can't imagine how hard it would be to punch a katana through a freshly-turned human forehead point-first like Michonne did in the woods. Seems impossible to me.

 

[tonydead]

I'm tapping out if he is alive.

I can't believe some of you guys are already making your possible excuses.

He's going to be alive. There's no way the death of a major character would be that uneventful.

Zero chance that the most climatic death in the comic goes out like that in the middle of the episode in the middle of the season:

Sacrificing himself to save Maggie or Rick. Seems in line with his character arc.Or being killed by a major antagonist ala Herschel. The Glenn character has definitely run

his course. But his murder would be a good way to introduce the next governor type character.

I also see this all happening at the end of the episode and then the actor appearing on talking dead.

Yep, that's what we'll see sometime this season.

 

[The Big Guy]

I get having knives, but everyone should also be carrying a longer range weapon, even if just a machete or a sharp pole. There have been so many times when a little killing from a distance or through a fence would be helpful. But then again, I am in the kill them all camp and not ignore them if they are ignoring me camp.

You can see the dumpster right next to his head. No way his head fits underneath it, until next week.

for the link.. Watching it again I see now that it seems Glenn is "screaming" out but they decided to just have music and the chomping as sound..

So now I'm more to the 60% he is gone.. and the post above how at some point Maggie and the group will go out searching, find parts of a corpse laying next to the Watch, will be the "closer" that many are looking for.. Then Maggie and Glenn will be on Talking dead..

 

[JoeSteeler]

They announced on talking dead that next week they will have a surprise cast member.

Like I said I don't want Glenn to die but I can't see any way he survives that.

And personally, if he is dead I'm not bothered that he didn't die a heroic death. I like the idea that sometimes just being in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong d**khead can get you killed. It's also not like this show hasn't killed off major characters early in a season. Lori (and TDogg) died in the fourth episode of Season 3. So killing off Glenn early in the season wouldn't be out of character by any means. I know what happens to him in the comics but this show has proven since Day 1 that it doesn't treat the comics as gospel and will change course or replace characters with certain death scenes (i.e. Hershel being beheaded)

yea he looks to be really screwed even if the body is on top of him. corpse/watch seems like it could happen, just hope they don't waste a ton of time looking for him.

hmmmmm

Start here and you can see his shirt and neck area. and it looks like a Walker is knelling down next to his head.

but then at 2 minute mark he sits up and there are no attacks happening above the neck line, meaning it is possible that the chomping is happening on Nick's body and they haven't reached Glenn yet..

good job on the directors/writers leaving a shadow of a doubt as I'm pretty sure we will have to wait at least two weeks to find out.

 

[the moops]

Not sure how more obvious it could be that he is dead. Seems about the correct way for him to go considering he was foolish/sentimental in letting that dude live anyhow.

You could say it was fitting that Glenn died this way (if he's dead) since he's continually tried to do the right thing and be better than the savages but ultimately his desire to help someone who really didn't deserve his help led to his downfall.

Right.

That's why I am fine with him going this way and don't need a huge climatic scene.

He "took a chance" with Nick, and it cost him his life.

I did like that this burned him. Should've pushed that dude off of the dumpster, imo.

I don't know how you people watch these trailers.

So much info is given away.

With this show I just don't care anymore but I see so many scenes in this trailer that will easily spoil parts of the show coming up in the next few episodes and scenes that would have spoiled scenes in the past episodes had I saw this trailer before.

 

[Zow]

To be clear, I'm perfectly fine with Glenn dying this way. Would help to keep the viewers on their toes every week b/c it means that pretty much anybody but Rick could go at any time.

I just don't think the writers would go this route.

So much of it is out of context and deliberately misleading though.

I just watched it again and there is an overhead shot around the 1:15 mark like you said but hard to tell where that's at. Didn't look like the place where Glenn (may have) bought it.

 

[cstu]

If he's not......then they very much just jumped the shark". Come on......you going to tell me that, even if that cat fell on top of Glenn......he wouldn't get at least nibbled on once? I know.....zombies and immortal gas and lawns being mowed.......but Glenn not getting nicked amidst that sea of zombies is a legitimate WTF moment. It's cheap heat. They could have just as easily conveyed the same message with Nicholas jumping off and sacrificing himself, allowing Glenn to climb into the trash bin.

 

[stbugs]

Definitely think he's dead, but watching snogger's link I can see where people can think they were eating Nick on top of him as it seemed like they were above him not directly on him like the lady with the bum ankle. I also think that when he put his head down there seemed to be room under the dumpster. I still think he's gone but it seems like they tried to be a little gray to let people think he might be ok.

 

[cstu]

All this talk of Glenn, what was up with Ricks hand?

Cut, but the blade was covered in zombie guts. It was shown last week in the preview too.

Zombie guts do not cause someone to die, only bites.

I think Nick was the one being eaten. I'm no medical expert but if Glenn was being torn to shreds wouldn't there be blood pouring out of his mouth?

There's also no question they were being ambiguous. That was definitely intentional and Gimple's message on the Talking Dead last night pretty much confirmed they wanted there to be doubt about Glenn's fate.

 

[tonydead]

I think it will be a nightmare dream sequence Glenn has after dip#### falls off the dumpster and Glenn drops down inside it and passes out. That way they avoid the shark jump for the most part.
