Season Four Bad Lip Reading

"Now all the Walkers Sing!"

Will Season 4 End With A Ned Stark Moment?

In HBO's Game of Thrones, the first season ended with one of the most shocking moments in television (well, for those of us who hadn't yet read George R.R. Martin's books anyways) when the perceived main character was beheaded.

In the television version of The Walking Dead the main character, Rick Grimes, played by Andrew Lincoln has a similar role to Ned Stark. He is in an incredibly rough situation, and has already survived multiple life-threatening situations, all the while remaining a role model for his son, Carl.

Now as what remains of the group converge on Terminus, the audience all know there is going to be a very tense episode ahead that will leave our heads spinning until the Fall, when the Walking Dead returns.

We know main characters are going to die. The trailer for the Season 4 finale of The Walking Dead above does little to change our view of that. The message talking about "Community for all" sounds like it's supposed to be a welcome and encouraging greeting, but it's creepy. Even the name 'Terminus' is creepy.

Also, in one (potentially) final lesson from father to son, in the clip above, Rick shows Carl how to set a snare.  We can be pretty sure the irony is that Terminus also a trap the group is headed for too.  Even Joe so much as told that to Daryl.

At All Things Walking Dead, we think Rick is on the chopping block (and in Terminus that can be particularly grizzly).  The T.V. show has already demonstrated it is fine with getting rid of characters that are still alive in the comic version.

What could be more shocking for fans, and create even more of a buzz for the show, than to have Rick Grimes killed off?  Dale, no; Andrea, no; Rick, for sure.

Just remember folks, we called it.

Looking Ahead to Season Four

Here's a video that looks ahead to season four of The Walking Dead.
The show is reportedly casting a new regular character named Roy Stark, who is described as "a former army medic who is deeply haunted by his past -- pre- and post-zombie apocalypse... [and] as a result, he's a bit of a loner, although he maintains a charming/self-deprecating/confident public face. [TV Line]
Comics creator Robert Kirkman previews the fourth season, starting with the return of David Morrissey's Governor:

Yeah, he’s still very much in the mix. That’s certainly not the last that we’ll see of him. When we see him again and where we see him again, that’s the big question. It’s not going to be like it was in Season 3; it’s not going to be Rick and the Governor on a collision course with a conflict between them. He’ll be used in very different ways next season. 
Carl and Rick seemed to have almost switched roles to some degree, with Carl being incredibly cold and Rick finding a sense of optimism to some degree. How does that inform their relationship from this point forward?  

Rick has had a success. The people at the prison have survived this conflict with the Governor, he brought people from Woodbury into the prison, and he’s kind of had this big win. He’s had this moment where he’s brought people together and he’s doing good things. But he’s had this tremendous loss in that Carl has lost this piece of his humanity. This has been Rick’s main mission throughout the show, to protect his family. We’ve seen two very big failures on that front this season. Moving into next season, we’re going to see a very different Rick, but one of his main goals is to manage this situation with Carl and see if he can bring him back from this darkness that’s crept into him. Whether or not he’s able to do that, we’ll have to see. But this is a big change in the character of Carl, but it’s something that’s going to be weighing heavily on Rick next season.

Kirkman offers this general teaser for the upcoming season:

I’ll say that there are a lot of familiar elements that are remaining. Michonne is still around, Rick and his group are still in the prison, the Governor’s still out there… so there are a lot of things that are carrying over from Season 3 to Season 4, but I can’t stress how different things are going to be. There are going to be some radical changes to those elements that are going to bring in a lot of new storytelling. While [Season 4] does seem somewhat familiar, it’s going to be vastly different from Season 3.
