My wife keeps aggervating me at work with rick got bit(she just watched it). I know I saw the knife break and him shove the 2nd walker before taking him out but did he get bit during the scuffle?

The second walker had a machete in his shoulder, when Rick shoved him he cut his hand on it.

How that entire scene was shot was just poor. Nicholas put the gun to his right temple, so the exit would have (most likely) been on the opposite side, though not necessarily directly across and out the left temple. Regardless, Glenn got blood splatter on the right side of his face, meaning that he'd have to have been on Nicholas' left, or at least looking at the left side of Nicholas' head, either of which go against how they framed each of their facial expressions just prior to the trigger pull. And I'm not even getting into how unnatural their fall off of the dumpster looked.

What, didn't you know when someone shoots themselves in the head, they then turn their back and throw themselves into the person in front of them like they are blocking out for a rebound?

Not everyone in the zombie Apocalypse is going to die a heroic death. If they don't have actual characters that matter die to the odd zombies here or there, nor hoards, then we as the audience is aren't going to view them as a threat either. With the way everyone is a master marksmen, executing headshot after headshot, walkers seem more like a pest than a real threat. And I get it. They've become good at dealing with them. They have experience dealing with them however it just takes one time to slip up. I know a lot of people will say it was a bad death because he wasn't doing anything heroic but its an important death. It shows zombies are still a threat and not to be overlooked.

That would make sense if the show had a history of doing this; as I said just last season they gave Tyreese and Bob basically their own death episodes. Heck they even gave Noah more of a death episode than that. I seriously doubt they're going to start with a character like Glenn and give him the equivalent of a death of a red shirt.

That makes sense...I kept watching that scene over and over (to rule out a bite). Couldn't miss that machete as he was feeding...I wondered about the backstory on that. Rick is so seasoned at slaughtering these things, there had to be an outlier.

and after rewatching the clip, he HAS to be dead. the dude is literally crying out in agony.

To me, he seems to be more crying out because of what he's watching than what's happening. His agony seems a bit tame for someone getting ripped open.

Also, the last time I checked, there are no intestines in your chest.

They're not finished with him yet. On Talking Dead they had a quote from Scott Gimple that said we'll see Glenn, or some form of him, again. Left it up in the open as to what that means though. Could be they'll show more of him being buried in walkers. Maybe walker Glenn. Or flashbacks. I guess that doesn't rule out some cheesy "He survived scenario" either.

I've made it a point to stay away from spoiler forums, but the idea that the scene is a hallucination would be terrible if true. Damon Lindelof on Talking Dead said the same last night. He would be disappointed if it turned out to be a dream or hallucination similar to "Who killed Bobby" on Dallas.

Lindelof was pretty good last night and was brutally honest on some things, like when he talked about how nobody cared about the dumb Alexandrians who died and was saying he didn't even remember their names. Kind of surprised he got away with it and I wonder if he'll be asked back.

One more nitpick with that scene, the dumpster was surrounded by walkers yet when they fell, it was like they all moved and let them hit the concrete. They should have landed on walkers.

that was way more of an emotional "death" scene than what any red shirt has gotten on this show. i think you're being a little harsh on it.

edit: and by harsh on it, i think you know what i mean. obviously the whole way nicholas fell on him and somehow didn't land on walkers stuff was completely overlooked and pretty dumb.

again, i disagree. that looked more like painful agony. didn't seem much different than any other of the walker victims we've seen. and regardless, if he wasn't getting torn at (aka it's nicholas entrails getting pulled out), then he's one stupid soon-to-be dead son of a gun. making noise like that only worsens your already bleak chances at getting through that alive.

and yeah, intestines aren't in the chest, but this is the Walking Dead we're talking about. chalk it up to them wanting it to be ambiguous.

also, from the way they both fell, i'm not sure how they landed in a position where the mid section of nicholas is right on glenn's chest...but again, it's the damn walking dead we're talking about.

Kirkman said he always regretted that part in the comics. So I doubt that's where we are headed but could happen. I also don't see any way he didn't get zombie blood in that wound. But I'm sure TV magic will prevail and somehow not even one blood cell was transferred in a bloody knife battle

I'd find it hard to believe that they've never gotten walker blood in their body with as many times as they've been covered in walker blood.

I don't know what role walker blood plays in the comics, but in the show I can't think of anyone getting walker blood in them and panicking. Everyone is already infected with the walker virus. Walker blood hasn't been portrayed as a threat. Being bitten has.

With as many times as they've gotten walker blood on their face, entire body, covered themselves in walker blood and guts to blend in to herds....I'd be very disappointed if now all of the sudden walker blood poses a threat. I figured it would early on in the show, but after several episodes of seeing people covered in walker blood I figured it wasn't a threat by itself.

If they emptied their guns and had to start using knives to kill the walkers before they climbed up on the dumpster, how did Nicolas have a bullet left to put in his temple?

Rick is fine. Any blood that might have been on the blade would be dried and harmless.

That was hilarious and I applaud him for making fun of it. I didn't know those peoples' names either and I doubt half the people in this thread did either.

I'm not going to be mad if they somehow bring Glenn back alive and unhurt. I like him and don't think he should have gone out like that. What I'm mad at most is that Nicholas shot himself and then proceeded to take him down with him. That's what I'm mad about. If they bring Glenn back it'll make up for that stupidity.

Do you remember the conversation Michonne had with Heath about wearing walker blood or someone elses blood? They might be able to use that to get Glenn out from under Nicholas.

I think it'd be more likely that Nicholas is hallucinating than Glen. He looked out of it anyway.

This is possible, he never actually shot himself and they never fell off the dumpster.

I wonder if Rick is going to have to amputate that hand this season. A one handed Rick would sync up with the comics more. I am willing to bet he is going to get a nasty infection.

I don't believe Glenn is dead for a second. To many things about that scene didn't add up, not to mention he didn't show up in the memoriam on Talking Dead
