. . . AND I STILL WANT TO KNOW WHY NO ONE HAS FIGURED OUT THE SIMPLEST *expletive deleted*ing BODY ARMOR!
The figured it out - Glen had body armor back in the prison settlement days - but everyone else seems to have forgotten about it.

When I saw how the woman in charge of the armory was quivering during the W attack - with access to more guns & ammo than a person could carry - it was just . . . . :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

(Hmm . . . the evil bad guys are painting "W" on themselves . . . wonder if there's a political subtext the writers are working in because of how they feel about a previous POTUS . . .  [tinfoil] )
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Season 1, Rick is trapped in the tank in Atlanta. Glen comes over the radio -- "Hey Dumbass, you comfortable in there," or something like that.


Ah, okay - I thought you meant episode 1 this season, given that it was half flashbacks.

The hallucination scene would be a way to keep Glenn alive (and I've seen it mentioned elsewhere), but I would have to take back my kudos to the writers. That's kind of a weak "Dallas" way to do it. Also weak would be that the guts being eaten were those of Nicholas laying on top of Glenn, and Glenn somehow escaping being underneath a bazillion walkers bite free.

I also agree, we would have seen half the character deaths if people had been wearing nothing additional but long sleeved leather jackets. Or gloves for Pete's sake, considering how often they dispatch zombies with 4" blades.

Well, episode 1 of this season also figures in.

I could swear there was a scene, which looked as if it were one of the "after the wolfes/herd had been dealt with," that included Glenn.

Which would mean that he didn't die.

But the dumb ass comment was definitely from season 1 episode 1 or 2, can't remember exactly which.

Weak, perhaps, but I think this is the correct answer.  If Glenn covered himself in ichor, he might escape.  The angle of the guts being consumed didn't look right to me, so I think you got it.

But wouldn't it have to be walker guts vs Nicholas guts? I would think Nicholas guts would attract walkers, being "fresh" and all.

Yes.  But he might have been able to just squirm out while they're chowing on Nicholas.  Glenn has gotten out of some seriously tight spots before, it's his specialty.



Glenn had body armor as recently as last season.   It's the heavy riot gear stuff and he said it was heavy to wear.

That said, if we're talking TWD zombies, I'm heading to a motorcycle shop for some leather.

Didn't Glenn lose the body armor at Terminus?  I seem to recall Rick spotted one of the Termites wearing it when he arrived.

I'm going with that being Nicholas being munched on top of glen. Still pretty far fetched though.
They did not mention glen in the people the got killed on the talking dead show.
I did not read the novel, but according to some others he is alive much later in the books.

Was Glenn screaming while being ripped apart? Even if they were ripping into the other guy wouldn't they then start on Glenn?

I watched Talking Dead last night, and they had a note from one of the show's producers, who said (rather cagily) that Glen would be seen in one form or another in coming episodes.

Of course, that doesn't mean squat about whether heads dead or zed chow, as he could be seen in hallucinations (aka Beth), flashbacks, or even as a zombie himself.

Entertainment Tonight thinks Glenn is still alive: http://www.etonline.com/news/174749_the_walking_dead_glenn_is_alive_steven_yeun/

Hard to see how he could have possibly escaped all those walkers, though.

I get that it's a zombie show... but there comes a point where you risk turning a lot of people off by killing a pivotal character.

If glenn is dead, they may have reached that point with me.

So far most of the people getting killed this season are either the lambs or the wolves. The lambs more so from being so clueless to the world outside their walls and being stubbornly ignorant  (almost proud) of it.

I think this show is something different, though. It's always been pretty clear that the only TRULY pivotal characters are Rick and Carl. People who know the comics already know that they're the only two completely safe characters.

The producers have never been shy about saying that they'd kill off anyone to move the story forward.

How many pivotal characters have come and gone already?

Shane
Lori (debatable on how pivotal she was, but I personally think she was)
Dale
Herschel
Lori
the Gov (although by the time he was killed he wasn't as pivotal)
Beth (she didn't start out as pivotal, but she became pivotal)
Tyrees

So far the one that's caused the most angst was Beth, I think in a lot of ways because she was a very sympathetic character who had a hidden depth and strength to her.

I think the two characters who might cause riots if they're killed off are Darryl and Carol.

Well, I have to say last night's episode was not all that bad. I was expecting 90 minutes of Morgan's feelings to be a snoozefest. It explained what happened to him in a way that kinda sorta explains why he went overboard on what we would consider tactical mistakes in dealing with the living. The end scene might have set up his becoming more rational about dealing with the living (or maybe not).

I really thought he had killed that guy.

I'm bummed that John Carol Lynch won't be a regular, or semi-regular. I really like him as an actor.

I just finished watching it. Excellent story. I really hope Morgan is on for a long while to come.

Morgan seems to be an all-or-nothing kind of guy.  Kill 'em all, or kill no one.  Stop at nothing to survive, or beg someone to kill him.  Find a spot in the middle, dude.

Great episode though.

Well at least someone on the show realized the practicality of the pointy stick in dealing with zombies. Other than just a static defense that is.
