Looking forward to: Analysis of the Walking Dead Season 4 Part 2 trailer

Season 4 midseason premiere: Sunday February 9, 2014



"I know I'll never get things back to the way they used to be." 

           ^aka the understatement of the century. 

So it looks like our favorite group of Apocalypse survivors aren't going to be happy again anytime soon. Everyone is scattered into different groups: Rick with Carl, Michonne is alone, Tyrese with the kids and Judith(???), Sasha with Maggie and Bob, Daryl with Beth, Glenn with the sick people on the bus, Lilly with Tara. And judging by what the cast members have been saying, it will be a little while until any of them are reunited again. One would assume that after everything the group has gone through (i.e. the whole Herschel's farm debacle) they would be smart enough to have a designated emergency meeting spot somewhere close by. Unfortunately, The Walking Dead has a habit of making the characters do really dumb, impractical things in the name of creating plot twists (i.e. Dale's death, Lori flipping her car), so they probably haven't. It will be interesting to see how much of the comic's bleak post-prison storyline the show decides to follow. 

Questions for the second half of this season: 
Will Rick ever feel happiness again? How much will everything that has happened speed up Carl's inevitable transformation into a psychopath? Is baby Judith still alive? Will Beth go into another depression? When is Carol going to swoop in and save the day (and get some action from Daryl)? Is something bad going to happen to Glenn or Maggie? (They have been way too happy together as a couple. The Walking Dead eats misery for breakfast.) Will we ever get to see Morgan again? Will the giant, gaping wound in my heart left from Herschel's death EVER begin to heal? *sobs gently into pillow*




Also, who is the person in the riot gear???

Is it Lilly? It kind of looks like that's Tara running in front with the knife.
