![]() Maybe he’ll go down in a blaze of self-destructive glory or maybe, just maybe, he’ll pack his bags and walk away from everything that reminds him of what he’s lost and go it alone for a while, Morgan-style. With that motivation gone - *sob* - what’s Rick got left to live for? Ok, he’s got Michonne and Judith, but if anything were to happen to them, say, in the first few episodes of the new season… well, I think Rick might struggle to keep it together. It’s been a tough few years for Rick, but he’s kept going in the hopes that he could one day build a safe and loving community for his son Carl. Plus, it would be way more shocking and interesting for Rick to leave the show alive - how many Walking Dead characters get to do that?! No one would see it coming! And he’s got more than enough reasons to walk away from his community and go it alone for a while. That’s why they won’t kill him off (or at least make his ‘death’ super ambiguous), so he can make a surprise comeback later down the line. There’s no way the show is going to do it to its hero to the character which has led it for nearly a decade, to the face of The Walking Dead! Despite this, Andrew Lincoln is sadly leaving the show mid-way through season 9, but whatever his reasons for saying goodbye to the long-running zombie series, I’m betting AMC is hoping he’ll come back at some point. The Walking Dead can’t even bring itself to kill off its villains for crying out loud (*cough* Negan *cough*). There’s no way AMC is going to kill off Rick. After all, with the show constantly questioning the morality and justification of both Negan and Rick for the past two seasons, is Negan really that much worse than Rick? ![]() ![]() Everyone's of the mind that Rick has lost the plot somewhat, and I can see Negan escaping and putting himself back at the head of this new community. It's what Carl wanted, right? Well, I bet you all these idyllic futures the show has portrayed where Negan's seen tending the garden with Judith or other such madness are just that. Now Negan is holed up in a cell within Alexandria, with Rick hellbent on rehabilitation of some kind. ![]() The entire time you're expecting someone to kill Negan, or Negan to eventually kill Rick, and if you've watched The Walking Dead season 8, you'll know that neither of those things happen - despite Rick slitting Negan's throat. I’m confused.For the past two seasons of The Walking Dead, we've been experiencing the build up, and consequences, of the all out war between Negan's Saviours and Rick's various crews, from Alexandria and beyond. Riley reveals that Rollie lost faith in the coalition after Daniel’s bout of confusion in “Handle With Care,” which was obviously after Tank Town’s destruction.ġ4) After she shoots him, Charlie says that Riley was “going for the gun.” Which gun? Daniel’s? That seems odd, considering that Wes would have seen him before he got to Daniel.
