‘The Walking Dead’ Happened Sunday, and I Have Things to Say

WARNING: Do not read any further if you don't want to know what happened Sunday night.  In other words, MAJOR spoilers ahead. Stop (deténgase, arrêtez, stopp, zatrzymać) if you don't want to know what happened!

Okay, you've made it this far, so no complaining that I didn't warn you about spoilers.

Sunday night's episode of The Walking Dead was pretty intense, it was right in line with an episode a week ago when the "safe-town" of Alexandria was attacked by the Wolves.

Let's just jump straight to what everyone is talking about...

Glenn died.

Or, it appeared he died. The scene everyone is flipping out about shows Glenn and Nicholas trapped on top of a dumpster surrounded by a hoard of walkers. Nicholas goes into some weird state, shoots himself, and ends up falling on Glenn. The fall knocks both Nicholas and Glenn to the ground, where we see Glenn looking up to the sky as walkers are tearing guts out of him.

BUT! Upon re-watching the scene, on the advice of Yvette Nicole Brown during The Talking Dead, I noticed what she did. Nicholas was on top of Glenn when they fell, and remained on top as Glenn remained helpless on his back.

The good news, the guts you saw were not Glenn's guts! Other than being pinned in a horrible spot, there was no evidence Sunday night that Glenn died. Again, we did NOT see Glenn's death on The Walking Dead, yet.

Also, if you've watched the show for awhile, you know deaths of major characters come with more ceremony. There was nothing ceremonious about Glenn's alleged death last night. The fact that he is such a major character tells me this is the beginning of his death.

Yvette Nicole Brown, who is my favorite Talking Dead guest, had a great theory and I think she's on to something. If you watch the scene again, you can see how close Glenn is to the dumpster. If Nicholas is on top of Glenn, and Glenn is covered in Nicholas' guts, it's not too crazy to think that Glenn was somehow able to slide under the dumpster using Nicholas' guts as a sort of gruesome camouflage, they've used such camo before.

So is Glenn dead? No, not yet. But he will be dead before the mid season break.

Remember the radio transmission between Rick and Glenn at the beginning of the episode? To those who remember the first season, this was very reminiscent of the radio conversation Glenn and Rick had when Rick was trapped in the tank. The Walking Dead never does something just to do it, there is meaning behind almost everything. In my opinion, this was foreshadowing Glenn's death. Or was it foreshadowing Rick's? That's another blog for another day.

So, how does Glenn die?

Oh it's going to be a spectacle my friends!

Here's my theory, mixed with some suggestions from my office-mate, Jojo from WFGR. Glenn was bit, but he doesn't give up while hiding under the dumpster, he needs to make it back to Maggie to say goodbye. After the walkers have finished snacking on Nicolas, the gunfire from Rick's gun at the RV draws them away, Glenn gets out and makes it back to Alexandria, says goodbye to Maggie, where she puts him down because he's about to turn. Boom, now that is ceremonious and my man-eyes are tearing up!

I want to point out one other piece of evidence that suggests Glenn goes out in such a way. Remember the guy who was with Michonne? I can't remember his name, but he was bit and wrote a note for his wife. He asked Michonne to give it to her, but Michonne told him that she's getting him home. The guy ended up getting attacked when trying to jump a gate, and never made it back. I think, again upon hearing Yvette talking about this, that story-line is actually foreshadowing the real way Glenn is going to die.

There it is! My theory on Glenn's death that wasn't really a death. Then again, I could be 100% wrong, but we will find out! Remember, next Sunday's episode is 90 minutes! It looks like they're going to tap into Morgan's past!
