The Walking Dead Season 5 premieres this Sunday.
Here is everything you gotta know before showtime!
The premiere ofThe Walking DeadSeason 5 is quickly approaching.
That said, we will be stepping into spoiler territory, so let this be your warning.
Surprise, you cant trust anyone that isnt part of the group!
Even Abraham, Eugene, and Rosita might still have some surprises up their sleeves in season 5.
At least, were betting Eugene does!
Season five picks up shortly thereafter.
Stories will break apart and intersect.
The characters will find love and hate.
You would think these guys would get a bit of a smooth ride, but no.
The long walk to Terminus was as smooth as its going to get for this group.
The misery porn continues!
It feels like weve got this incredible journey, and this incredible family of people with us.
Were going to the other side now.
And I do think its worth stressing were really earning our rating this season.
In fact, some of the most lifelike moments are the zombies now.
And I think that thats a huge change.
It feels real after these people have been inhabiting this world for two years, you know?
The people left are going to be just as equally pragmatic and brutal, and tough, and resilient.
How will this affect the rest of the group?
Here isour spoiler-free review.
Things definitely look promising for the viewers, not the survivors, of course.
As appetite-whetting episodes go, this one has me hungry for the rest of this seasons zombie action.
Theres a couple other revelations that I think people mightve gotten a little bit of a lead on.
I think when people finally see the premiere, theyll see what Im talking about.
And for me, its just kind of haunting.
And theres something about the urban environment and feeling the decay.
So I think every aspect is really fun.
Theres a breathtaking sequence in episode 7.
Does this mean the group is going back to the hell of Atlanta?
What new monsters will they meet there?
Or perhaps its a brand new city.
Rick and the group will undoubtedly make some progress on their journey to Washington.
We dont expect TOO big a setting change by midseason.
Episode 7 is the episode before the midseason finale, so the group might just be entering the city.
We discussed The Hunters at length inour spoiler-filled previewof the villains.
This justification allowed The Hunters to continue to eat human flesh.
This triggers a thought: what if Rick was forced to eat Carl someday?
Here, you get to see how the character of Rick works.
He remains the protagonist and the series definition of a good guy because he doesnt stray from that path.
If he falls to the carnivorous insanity of the times, undoubtedly the rest of the group will.
They will eat, they will die, and be reborn as horrible monsters.
When Rick decides to slaughter The Hunters, we see this reality for a brief moment.
How similar are those two villains?
There are certainly some similarities, especially in this episode.
But those similarities go away pretty quickly.
I would state emphatically that he is definitely not the villain of Season 5.
I dont want anyone to get the impression that this is a Rick vs. Gareth and the people of Terminus are going to be a very big threat.
Poor Dale suffered this fate in the comics.
If season 5 decides to go this route and why wouldnt it who will it be?
WHO IS GOING TO DIE?
You never know for sure.
All you know is that someone is.
Its pretty much a fact of the midseason/season finale that a main character is going to die.
Still, the trailer does tease an image of one of the Terminus group holding a bat behind Glenn.
No matter who it is, it will undoubtedly be a shocker.
