Umm....

 

But any escape if going to be pretty far-fetched, I agree. I'm going to reserve judgment until I see what happens. I'm still hoping the writers have a clever and believable way out of the situation.

Maybe Glen is just the Zombie Whisperer. Remember in "Conquer" he had like 3 zombies piled on him and a gunshot wound? He managed to somehow get out of that.

It'd definitely be way ballsy-er for the writers to just have him be dead. An unexpected and rather pointless death is the kind of jolting experience that lends realism to the show. Not every main character is going to have a noble or heroic death (and only in Eps 8 or 16).

 

I don't like that Glenn may or may not have died, and i do think it's a stretch that he might get out of that situation...but i'm a hardcore fan so i'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. The show does a great job depicting reality, but if it were 100% true to life how boring would this show be? Darryl probably would have had his beautiful bulging bicep randomly bit by a walker, and Rick would have had his junk bit by a thirsty female walker. All of the characters would have been killed off in the same manner as a red shirt...the show has artistic license to create cliff hangers, drama, and whatever the hell else they want to do. It would have to be pretty ridiculous for me to stop watching, like Glenn magically rising from the dead after Hershel comes down from the heavens and heals him...

 

It's worth becoming a walker just for that.

 

I get what you're saying about fooling us...in the past it was never a question. Now it's always going to be like, "did that person really die...?" I feel ya there. Hopefully it turns out ok...this season has been really great so far, so i'm optimistic.

 

I don't think it would be so far fetched that it would ruin the series. 'Miracles' and random cool coincidences happen all the time in real life that if you saw them in a movie you'd think 'yeah right'. Far fetched is the fact that rotting reanimated corpses are able to smell, hear and/or see.... But in the realm of TWD reality/rules I accept that they can. I feel the writing has gotten lazy or sloppy this season even though the episodes have been action packed and entertaining overall I guess. Nothing will make me stop watching. I stuck with Lost till the end Glen falls, 20 seconds of walkers eating Nicholas then there is a huge noise, explosion, distraction and all the walkers pause and then shuffle toward the noise. Glen is unharmed...it could happen.

 

Glenn dead....Glenn alive, either way I will continue to watch

Am I concerned how they are going to pull off a believable save? Yep I am

Do I have enough faith in Gimple and Co to have come up with something that will make enough sense to tip the believable scale in their favor? Going with a yes on this one because dammit I am Polly-freakin'-Anna

After a couple of days to digest and work through the scale of emotions I have become less angry and more aligned with the wait and see group of people who are keeping an open mind.

My biggest issue right now is preventing myself from spilling the beans to my oldest daughter since she has not yet seen the episode - that is going to be a tougher predicament to maneuver than Glenn evading all those walkers!

 

If it is NOT a dream sequence (pretty sad if it is) and he does manage to escape, the van off the bridge with Carol & Daryl will be far more believable.

Yup. I won't stop watching but I cannot imagine it wouldn't impact my opinion on Gimpel et al.

 

Bye!

 

I have to agree that a deus ex machina resolution for Glenn would be pretty weak. I don't want him to die and I won't stop watching regardless but a dream sequence or hallucination or whatever would be pretty cheesy.

 

Hehe..*chuckles ...somehow more annoyed at viewers making threads threatening to boycott or quit the show cause of such and such :zombies_alien: happened with some Beth fans last year too :/

Gaaawwwshhh nitpickers :[

Sorry all...had a bad day at work too...:zombies_mad:

 

Anybody that says "I won't watch the show anymore if this happens" or ".....if this doesn't happen" is lying out their zombie loving ass.

 

I'm of at least three minds on the issue of Glenn's potential survival, but I'm just going to wait and see. If he is alive, it'd hardly be the first impossible thing we've been asked to swallow. Back in season 4 there's a scene where Tyreese is completely swarmed on all sides by walkers and then pops back in a few minutes later, miraculously fine. Meanwhile, the red shirts continually manage to get snuck up on and bitten by growling, shambling zombies. I'm not even touching Carol and Daryl on the bridge. That shit was ridiculous.

 

I get your point, but I will watch untill the very end. Allthough it's bad writing as far as I can think of it right now. But maybe they will surprise us.
