Cause zombies would start banging on the wall cause it's a wall, then other zombies would hear the banging and join in cause they think there's something neat on the other side. Basically it's like Star Citizen.

I think the weird way his death (not-death) was treated on Talking Dead is the biggest tell. There are only two reasons I can think of for that: he's not dead, or he is dead but they're using the dead/not-dead controversy to gin up water-cooler conversation, media buzz, hype the viewer totals. But there's no reason to do that. The viewer totals are great, the show is extremely popular, I'm sure merchandising is exploding if not already.

Jake Armitage posted:Let's recap: If he's legit dead I assume they'll have either a cold open or entire flashback episode where we see his casual not-goodbye with Maggie when he leaves with Rick: "Gonna go check out the quarry real quick for a dry run, see you at dinner" "Cool beans, I need to talk about an Important Thing when you get back" Then Michonne will find his eaten guts and zombie head when she runs back to get that dude's note. And then he'll be on Talking Dead, since that will be the last time we see him.

I like that there's a zombie standing stock still to the right (when you're looking at it) of Glenn's head in that shot where he's getting ripped apart.

LadyPictureShow posted:Can somebody tell me what the plan was for Nick and Glenn? I heard 'feed store', but I got a phone call at that point, so I was distracted/missing a lot of the dialogue. Do people really watch TV like this in the year 2015? If you're reading a book and get a phone call, do you skip ahead a few pages to where you would have been if you weren't interrupted? Serious question.

In this age of distraction people get distracted and miss little things, for example I had no clue what the point of Daryl's little jaunt off to nowhere was for because I missed like a single line of dialogue.

Can't he just hide inside the RV and poke any that come in? Just a few would make a pile large enough that the rest can't get by. Then he wouldnt be exposed to the elements.

Everybody expects such a long tenured character as Glenn to have a big emotional death scene so it would actually be a decent swerve for him not to (although I personally wouldn't be surprised if he was still alive). Michonne tells him to go back to his wife but he insists on playing the hero and causing a distraction, and he decides to trust a bumbling, cowardly idiot who had previously caused the death of one of his friends and also tried to murder him. Even with all of Glenn's competence and ability to get out of a jam, he managed to get himself into a situation where he couldn't make it out.

I honestly thought Glenn and Nicholas were going to scramble over the debris and go up that fire escape to the roof. Yeah this was really funny. There was like, a wooden pallet and some random debris blocking entry to a fire escape that was clearly in view as the walkers were closing in (but before they actually blocked access to it) but they just sat back and took a few pot shots instead of going for it. It was like in video games where a foot and a half climb blocks access to certain areas.

It was like in video games where a foot and a half climb blocks access to certain areas. Instead of trying to see if any of the cars worked, the group should have found a ladder and climbed onto a 1 story flat roof. There were a bunch of flat roofs around and surely they could have found a ladder with 10 minutes of searching. Get on a roof, drag the ladder up with you and wait for the horde up pass. Everyone stays safe.

It's going to be lovely regardless of Glenn's eventual outcome. If he's dead it's lovely for obvious reasons, and if he's somehow alive it'll be lovely because it'll be a massive rear end-pull, probably involving Jesus, but if not then it'll be even weirder since that almost sorta makes sense.

I think if they want Glenn to live (and I'm assuming he does somehow manage to eke his way out of this mess) the better option would have been to have Nick shoot himself, fall down, start getting eaten, and leave Glenn stranded on the dumpster still completely surrounded and just looking around with no idea what to do. Then you can have him somehow get zombie guts on himself after he remembers that's a thing, or you have someone rescue him. If they wanted Glenn to die, then show him outright getting eaten or killed with no ambiguity. It's a big old gut punch and fans won't be happy, but narratively with so many nameless Alexandrians getting killed it comes at a good time to send the message that no one is safe. Now you have two ways to go and both of them are lesser than they could have been if you handled it better.

Glenn is dead though, now that I think about it. Nicholas will show up with a severe head wound and covered in Glenn guts.
