Ok. So I'm sure it has been mentioned. But after re watching the Glenn "death" scene I noticed something that has me believing the theory that someone else shot Nick.

besides his gun being out of bullets... the blood splatter from Nick's head that is hitting Glenn's face, comes from Glenn's right side. How could this happen when Nick had his gun to the right side of his head?

if you go rewatch the suicide, it'll make sense.

No offense, but that is just a ridiculous theory. Why on earth would anyone shoot him? Nobody trying to save Glenn would have shot Nicholas as a sacrificial lamb of sorts, and if you wanted them to die, the walkers had everything under control already.

Nicholas held the gun in his right hand and blew his brains out from right to left. Blood spatter coming out of the left side of his head would be coming from Glenn's right side.

Here's how Glenn escapes.


Step 1. Crawl/slither under the dumpster.

Step 2. Find a weak spot in the dumpster floor, probably easy since it's likely rusted out.

Step 3. Get into the dumpster, then open half to get on top.

Step 4. Walk across the walkers' heads Crocodile Dundee-style to the fire escape we saw.

Step 5. Wait on the roof for rescue.

Anyone else notice the sexual tension between the gay guy and Maggie? I was waiting for them to make out a couple of times.

A straight man can hug a woman to console her without it being sexual.

Also... He's Gay.

I totally get that. It just came off as sexual tension. I also love his character. I hope they focus more on him. Although, I think the grief is going to overtake him and he's going to do something stupid in order to save someone.

Nah, that's a pretty stupid way to look at it.

Just because things may not make sense in the "real world" doesn't mean they shouldn't make sense within the framework of the world created by the show. And they can still be very logical and reasonable in that world as well.

Isn't Aaron's boyfriend still around? I haven't seen him since Aaron first brought Rick & co. into Alexandria, but I don't remember seeing or hearing about his death either.

And I thought there was more sexual tension between Aaron & Daryl last season than between Aaron & Maggie.

I definitely know what he (guy above) means about the tension with Aaron and Maggie. I don't know if I'd call it sexual in nature, obviously, but it was definitely sort of weird at times...and if you didn't know the characters, it almost came off like they were destined to end up together.

Why didn't Glenn and Nick just hop over the fence?

Just lay your jacket on the barb wire and climb over. They had plenty of leverage from being up on the dumpster right?

Walkers were also on the other side of fence, plus it looks like there were some between the dumpster and the fence.

Youtube Nicholas/Glenn (?) death scene

I don't know about more but I agree there was sexual tension between Aaron & Darryl. Maybe it is the way the actor portrays different situations.

Glad someone else picked up on it. It just felt awkward at times.

No doubt. Awkward is the word that came to mind while I was watching it for sure. Like there were weird pauses and times where they would sort of stare at each other and shite...it was definitely weird.

And to echo the response above about why Glenn and Nick didn't climb the fence...the dumpster, which I originally had thought was next to the fence, was away from the fence and the overhead shot clearly shows walkers all around it. Additionally, there were walkers on the other side of the fence as well.

However, I don't know why they didn't try to climb up the fire escape or the fence opposite the building (so basically on their left side as they went down toward the dumpster as they were chased). Even if there was barbed wire on the top, it was a tall arse fence and you could've gotten high enough to get out of reach and figure out how to get over it.

I guess we can just chalk it up to "mistakes were made.."

I also love Aaron's character. He is the only Alexandrian I give a rat's arse about...and for my money he's the best actor on the show with the most logically human writing.

I agree with that to a certain extent. Seeing a skeleton with full motor functionality just adds a childlike campiness factor to the show though.

I was definitely picking up on some vibe between them. Maybe he's bi. Or maybe the actor and actress were drawn to each other and it inadvertently came through to the characters?

I kept thinking don't they have grenades or fireworks? Throw some over the wall and the zombies should move in that direction.
