And wouldn’t it have been woefullt unfair to succumb to sickness after escaping the zombie plague and its subsequent monsters? Fortunately, Hershel and Maggie are able to intubate and resuscitate the blood-choking Glenn. When the disgusting disease swept through the prison’s otherwise peaceful walls, Glenn got the worst of it. But before the triggers are pulled, our band of survivors sails in to rescue them with smoke grenades and heavy artillery. Those chair heroics are short lived once the Woodbury crew drags Glenn and Maggie to their knees to be executed. The kidnapped (again) and tortured Glenn refuses to give up the goods on the group’s new prison, and ends up battling a walker thrown at him by Merle. But wait! Turned out he was totally fine, just frozen in terror after the close call. While sneaking out the back, Glenn collapses behind a dumpster after a hail of bullets with only a sneaker visible, Hershel fears all is lost for his daughter’s new boyfriend. When Glenn and Rick head to town to retrieve an off-the-wagon Hershel at the local bar, an encounter with another group leads to a lot of gunfire. Fortunately, the group hauled him out before he became a pool snack (though despite the terror, he still managed to rope the walker as planned.) Season 2: The Bar Shootout But he got more than he bargained for when the water-pipe support snapped and sent him plummeting into the soggy monster’s clutches. So when someone had to be lowered into the well to help fish out a water-logged walker, he was the one to take the risk.

Season 2: The WellĪfter arriving at the Greene’s farm, Glenn was still just the skinny kid carrying peaches and making trips to the town drug store for Lori’s lotion. Glenn made it through that first, brief season with barely a scratch. Getting kidnapped by gangsters who turned out to be nursing home staff? Sure thing. Returning to help save Merle and making the run for the dropped bag of guns? Check. Coating himself in guts and shuffling with the herd to get the truck that’ll get them to safety? Check. Nicholas is very clearly losing it.As the best scavenger of the initial group of survivors outside Atlanta, Glenn proves his mettle by taking the big risks when the group’s department store trip is interrupted by the appearance of Rick Grimes and a swarm of undead city-dwellers. Glenn and Nicholas find themselves at a dead end, with walkers on both sides, so they get up onto a Dumpster with walkers grabbing at their feet. But is it possible that Glenn might actually be alive? We’ve obsessively replayed the tape over and over again like we were watching a sporting event. In some way, we will see Glenn, some version of Glenn or parts of Glenn again, either in flashback, or current story, to help complete the story.Īll right, so there’s the possibility we might get sepia-soaked flashbacks of Glenn or zombie Glenn. Is this just some expert trolling? Hardwick read the following statement from showrunner Scott Gimple:ĭear fans of The Walking Dead, this is a hard story to tell, and when we were planning to tell it, we knew our friends over at Talking Dead would be talking to you about it, and knowing you’d talking and feeling and commiserating, I knew we should say something about it, lest our silence say something we didn’t mean to say or not say so I will say this. They showed the various Alexandrians, the walkers, and of course Nicholas, but instead of showing Glenn, they had this: On The Talking Dead, the show’s post-mortem hosted by Chris Hardwick, the show has an “In Memoriam” segment where they recap all of the deaths. But is Glenn really dead? There’s some reason for some wishful thinking. The final shot is an overhead shot of zombies chowing down on viscera. They find that the feed store has already burnt to a crisp, and following Nicholas’s bad instincts, they end up in a dead end, with walkers surrounding them on both sides. But his dumbest, and ultimately fatal, decision may have been the one where he lets Nicholas, the coward who almost killed him multiple times, come along with him.

He took a heavy look at Hershel’s watch - that symbol of love and legacy - and he decided that, yes, he would undertake a foolhardy mission to burn down the feed store instead of running back to Alexandria. The show opened on Glenn, which was an ominous sign, sort of like finally giving the backstory to a reality-TV contestant. The foreshadowing was there from the beginning. Last night, it appeared the show killed off one of the last original members from the season-one crew, feeding him to the encroaching zombie horde. There’s a lot to recap on last night’s episode of The Walking Dead, but there’s only one thing to talk about: Glenn. Major spoilers ahead for last night’s episode of The Walking Dead.
