For those who read my Walking Dead recap yesterday—or glance at the internet with any regularity—you already know that a major character died on this past Sunday's show. OR DID HE/SHE?!? I related some of the conspiracy theories which posited how this character may have survived that zombie onslaught, and today, there's even more proof that the person survived. GOOD SOLID PROOF. Want to check it out? Spoilers and FACTS are below!


If I didnt get to eat that characters guts, Im gonna call bullshit!

Okay, so as I described in loving detail yesterday, the prevailing theory is that psychologically fragile Nicholas blew his brains out on top of that dumpster, causing both he and Glenn to tumble off into the horde of zombies—BUT! If you take another look at the footage, it's very clear that Nicholas is falling on TOP of Glenn, which leads many to believe it's Nick's guts the zombies are actually eating. This may give Glenn the opportunity to scramble underneath that dumpster and be rescued.


BUT WHERE'S THE PROOF? Well there's this:



That guy with the dreads is a yet-to-be introduced character from the comics named Jesus (played by Tom Payne), though he's been widely rumored to be joining the cast this season—and looky there! GLENN IS ON THE SET WITH HIM.


Need more proof? How about this from The Hollywood Reporter:


Sources also say that fan-favorite Yeun [that's Glenn] recently signed a new deal to remain on the zombie drama, further indicating that his death at such an early point in the AMC story seems unlikely.


Dustin Rowles of Warming Glow has a very interesting and heartbreaking theory about why WD is pulling this bait-and-switch storyline with Glenn. He thinks the entire season six plays out in one day, and the overarching theme of the season is Glenn's ultimate death.


Let’s say that Glenn does manage to sneak under the dumpster, and then someone new comes along to save him. Let’s say that someone is Jesus, the guy with whom he was spotted filming on set. Jesus and Glenn then go back and help Rick, Abraham, and Daryl lure all the walkers away from Alexandria, but in the midst of that, Glenn is infected, just like the redshirt Alexandrian.


But, he doesn’t die. He has enough time to get back to Alexandria. To get back and say goodbye. To get back and return the stop watch to Maggie that Hershel gave him when he gave Glenn his blessing to marry Maggie.


After Glenn says goodbye, after he gives her that stop watch, after telling her that she’s his “everything,” after Maggie tells Glenn that she’s pregnant, then Maggie has to kill Glenn before he turns.


That’s a truly tragic farewell.


It would be devastating.
