They aren't trying to get into the dumpster in that link. It is the exact scene of Glenn getting eaten

I agree, but it does in the comics, so maybe it's nothing more than an easter egg for the comic readers and foreshadowing that characters imminent appearance.

Yea it is out of context and I realize i have always been in the minority when it comes to previews=spoilers.
Take Daryl for example.
I saw him in some situations in that trailer.
Next episode if he is a life/death situation it takes away from the scene because I know to expect him in scenes I saw in the previews.

He is already infected though, per Season 2, right?.
It's just a pesky flesh wound device for adding to the struggle, imo.

True but we don't know the context of anything that is happening.
For what it's worth I think next week is gonna be the Morgan backstory episode.

he's still got the flare gun, so it would be possible for him to fire that into the crowd and start a zombie fire then scurry into the dumpster

Or at least him firing it into somewhere that would make the zombies scurry away anyways....

What it meant for me... Spoiler is in regards to comic books so tread lightly...
I stopped reading the comic books at about the Governor part.. But Rick loses his hand to the Gov, so this might be a way for the Directors/Writers to "catch up" to the comics..

Sorry, bad word choice. I meant bit/scratched to get the bacteria or whatever that causes death not the virus/infection that makes you turn. I didn't think that he was going to die.

Yeah but it is a very good point to get cranky about. Nothing makes people madder than a Bobby Ewing shower dream sequence.I think you either need a cup ofGood points and I'm sure Glen was ninja like with his legs and arms, hiding them under Nick until he was completely eaten up.I agree the writers could have handled it a little better.. But then again, if he crawled under the dumpster right away there wouldn't be anygoing on this morning.
We've seen characters survive numerous times when surrounded by hordes.. All that goo flying around from the chomping is bound to fall on Glenn's head..
Then he stopped moving and played dead with zombie goo on him.or need to lay off the caffeine a bit as you are a just a bit
about this
Glenn is dead. If he is not it is bull####, plain and simple. How many people would stop watching if the Doctor from the CDC showed up right now and was like I had a trap door and got out of the fireball and I need your help looking for a cure.
There is a world of difference between fantasy tale and a story that was made up be a three year old.
Agreed.
I gotta say, after Lizzie, Noah, Beth, and now Glenn, if they kill Michonne or Daryl anytime soon, I will have no heart left inside of me.

notice how the only 3 survivors from the overrun town were black? BLM must have complained to the producers..
Agreed. I haven't watched a trailer / promo for this show since the very first one I saw. I know I'm going to watch the next episode, so I don't need to be convinced and definitely don't want anything to be spoiled.
Similarly, I haven't watched one for the next Star Wars movie. Same reason.

I watch the preview trailers because I generally forget what's in them by the time the next show airs. Especially with the before-the-season ones.

but.. I watch TV shows to escape "reality" for that point of time.... so if the writers want to
at times so be it..If it gets to be to much then there are plenty of other things to do/watch that I'll just move on.. at this point NOT killing off Glenn isn't going to stop me from watching the show..
Sure if they have a Zombie walk him out of there as a friend, or he just stands up and dusts himself off, or an alien drops down a escape ladder from a space ship.. then yea.. a bit much..
But the writers to this point tend to have ways around things that I'm willing to say .. Ok, what's next ..

Yeah they are deliberately misleading. The Comic-Con trailer essentially made it look like the first part of the season would be a major civil war between Rick and Morgan. While the two have had some minor differences, there certainly hasn't been a major divide between them.
ETA - The Season 5 trailer sure made it look like the group was going to team up with the Terminites as well and that obviously never happened.
So I don't think watching the trailers really gives you significant insight into what is going to happen. You're given scenes without context and often with deliberately misleading context.

No way he's dead...
Big Tyrese got half an episode devoted to his death and he maybe had 90 minutes of screen time for his entire run. Glenn is one of the three mainstays on the show. I'm not saying he doesn't die at some point, but when it happens it'll be much more prolific than him getting stuck in an alley.

They are going to have to show exactly how he gets out of this if he is still alive because they can't do what they did last year when the zombies closed in on him and he magically got away while fighting the dude that blew his own head off in front of him....unless I totally missed how he got away after that guy pummeled him and left him laying for the walkers.
So the only weight holding him down right now is Nick, who is getting lighter and lighter by the second

I hope he dies. I like Glenn, I think he's a good character. But if none of the main characters ever die and these kind of impossible odds don't kill them. I don't know I think it hurts the show. For me at least.

Yeah for the good of the show something like this needs to happen. Just would suck for me as a fan since I really like Glenn.
ETA - I will add, though, I think there's a point where you can't just kill off everyone. I thought "24" went decidedly downhill after all the characters surrounding Jack Bauer got killed off. It was still a fun show to watch because Bauer was great and Kiefer Sutherland was terrific in the role but the show itself was never the same for me once all the key characters in Jack's life got killed off. While
had her moments she wasn't enough.

Yeah I thought the same thing. Still no way he could escape getting bit at least once though, IMO.

I forget if they did show him escaping or just 
over it..

Yeah, maybe I am misremembering this. But before he went to set fire to the feed store Glenn said " I need a minute" and started digging in his pack and that is when the watch was flashed. In my mind he was preparing a goodbye note, which was the whole point of the foreshadowing of the red shirt dying and dropping his note next to his body. The most likely outcome is Glenn cheeses it and is alive. But they set it up that there is a watch and a note somewhere.

For what it's worth an original cast member hasn't died since Andrea (thank God) bit the dust in Season 3.

Not saying this isn't part of what he was doing but he also called Rick to let him know what the new plan was.
The "#######" comment was great.
Niles Standish

It has been quite a few seasons. Unless you count Beth.
She and Hershel are the only characters who have more appearances than Abraham's group that have died. And she was almost always a secondary player IMO.

He's dead. The watch comment convinced me.
They won't show him or give any info for awhile. It'll be Glenn's lost...missing...whatever. They might even have someone find the dumpster and look for him but find nothing......
Cut to the season (or midseason) finale....they'll have the back of a walkers head
Then, we get Stephen Yeun on TTD as his death was never comfirmed before then. Plus, they'll tell the viewers that it was legit about the IMDB thing because as a Thank You to Stephen Yeun...they've let him be a zombie in a mob (so you can't see him) for all of those episodes.....so technically he was in every episode.

get ball batted from out of the blue. It'll fall down, squished. A guy will search The Walker....find the watch....camera pulls back...shows this Neegan character and his Boys. Camera floats down (probably to some somberish tune by a little known contempory artist).....Glenn's face......and scene.

The dream sequence by tonydead would explain this away. In reality, Glen pushed him off of the dumpster, thus killing a human for the first time, climbs in the dumpster and falls asleep, dreaming that the dude shot himself and fell off on top of Glenn who wakes up from the dream sequence screaming....because he killed a human.

You have to have a core group of survivors. Otherwise, you constantly have to bring in more characters.....and how did they magically survive all this time. Some people must survive the whole time.....until you are wrapping up the show. Then you can kill them all off.
Thunderlips

Closest thing to this show, IIRC....was the old TV show/mini series V. To that, I think they really only deemed two or three people in that show immune to death. This show is probably Rick, Michonne, Carol and maybe one more.

He's not dressed up like a zombie in all the leaked photos from episodes past this one, he's dressed up as himself.
