Hey youtubers it’s Charlie and yesterday in my Walking Dead US Video I asked you to
submit all your questions about the finale, Terminus, Beth and everything else.
I picked 10 of them to answer in this video and one bonus question.
Generally we’re all wondering if Barbecue Beth is going to be on the menu and who else
is going to die.
First thing’s first though.
Congratulations to Chloe Fynn, you’re the winner of this week’s giveaway.
I’ll be ‘DMing you on your channel for details.
Next week I’ll be giving away two gift cards.
I’ll also be doing more season 5 predictions videos this week.
So be sure to subscribe to get everything if you’re finding me for the first time.
So let’s answer some questions.
Careful for spoilers from episode 15 and everything in the comics up to The Hunters if you’re
not caught up.
Here we go,
Question 1 - Guardians 3000 asks What did Glenn and Tara use to lure the walkers to
the one side of the tunnel?
They just used the Flash light to cast a shadow on the wall.
It was hard to see, but the Wallkers were attracted to the bright light and the motion.
Which explains why in episode 9 when Michonne had her Walker pets, and was walking in that
big group of them, they didn’t turn on her.
So, if the virus ever breaks out be sure to take these notes down.
Walk slowly simulating the movements of any Walkers around you, and they may not notice
you.
No Guarantees.
Question 2 - Gabby Chestnut asks Do you think that Maggie and Glenn burning her picture
is foreshadowing?﻿
Yes, absolutely.
Maggie has been one of the people I think is most likely to die in the finale.
I already mentioned how romance is a death sentence on the show.
But she is not a clear thinker, nor is Glenn.
That impulsiveness is probably going to get her into trouble in the finale.
We don’t know whether the people who took Beth are hostile or not.
Everyone is getting Hunter vibes, but they could just as easily be non-cannibal villains.
Question 3 - Macsization asks Why are Rick's hands covered in blood in the teaser for the
next episode?
That’s probably just a follow up on the visual teaser of Tony looking at that Candy
Wrapper on the railroad tracks.
Rick will at the very least, end up in a fight with Joe’s group.
Then there’s still the wild card of the people at Terminus.
There wasn’t anyone at the gate, but there was a sign that said lay down your weapons
or you’ll be met by force.
So there have to be more people there somewhere.
Rick looked like most of his Governor beating had healed.
But he’s still squishy, so while I think he’ll have to fight Joe’s men.
I don’t think it will be as brutal as his brawl with the Governor.
And there’s the added bonus of having Daryl to help him.
Question 4 - Dominique Lionsdale asks do you think we’ll learn what happened to Beth
in the finale?
Yes, I saw a lot of you guys commenting on whether or not they’d show her in the finale.
We haven’t gotten any answers since she was kidnapped.
And there’s a laundry list of people that could have taken her, from bandits, to Gareth
to Hunters.
I feel like if they had already revealed what happened to her before the finale.
Things would be half as stressful.
Which is a good thing, from the writer’s standpoint.
I don’t know about you guys, but I will go crazy if I don’t find out if she’s
okay.
So I’m forced to watch next week.
Not that I wouldn’t watch if everything were reversed.
Even if the finale weren’t as good as last year it would still be a lot of fun.
That being said, the candelight vigil for Beth starts Saturday night.
Question 5 - PickAHand asks What the hell Maggie?﻿ Why hasn’t she expressed more
concern about Beth?
I also have seen a disturbing lack of concern over Beth from everyone except Daryl.
I think there’s a couple of reasons Maggie hasn’t said anything about it yet.
First, she probably felt like Beth was in good company when they parted ways at the
prison.
Two, she was forcibly separated from Glenn.
So she had no idea what he was doing when they got split up.
She knew Beth got on the bus and got away.
She’s also probably thinking about Beth, and just not saying anything out loud.
It’s not like she’s had a ton of lines this half of the season.
And lastly, they could be building her character up for a big reveal.
For instance, we’ve established Maggie is a little crazy.
What if something bad happened to Beth and Maggie reacts violently.
If she’s the one that’s going to die, Beth could be the macguffin that leads to
that.
Question 6 - Manuel Cortez asks Do you think that Daryl will find out Joe’s group is
hunting for Rick before they find him?
No, I think he’ll be totally surprised.
It makes for a better oh shit reaction.
Because he’d be stunned that his friend is still alive and at the same time Tony will
be trying to “claim him” with his assault rifle.
Remember how that other redneck stole Daryl’s rabbit kill.
He shot first and asked questions later.
Something tells me the rest of those guys are just like that.
And Daryl will be forced to choose between the outdoor cats and the indoor cats while
all that is happening.
Let it be said though, does anyone think for a minute that Daryl wouldn’t choose his
friends over the marauders?
It really depends on what happened to Beth.
If she’s still alive, she’ll swing him in the right direction.
Question 7 - Josh Redgrave asks When the show ends for ever how would you like it to end?﻿
So all the time people are leaving, because the die and people are coming.
Like Abraha, Eugene and Rosita.
I think the show should end when the last of the original cast is alone.
Everyone else from season 1 is dead and this last person has to re-form a new group somewhere.
They’ve never hinted that there might actually be a cure, a real cure.
So by that logic, humanity will just slowly converge and either die off or just hold their
ground indefinitely.
The numbers aren’t promising, so everyone on the planet will probably be dead inside
of 50 years unless they cure the virus.
I think it ending in a really depressing, this is just the way it’s going to be moment
would be appropriate.
Something that would let you know that even though that one last character is alive with
other new people.
Humanity in general is doomed in the long run.
Walking Dead is a show of attrition, for everyone one new person that comes one, it seems like
two people die.
Question 8 - I’m the Donut asks Do you think that Morgan will be involved in the finale?
I think it’s still too soon for him to come back.
Scott Gimple said he would re appear, but not this season.
So next year or later.
But he’ll definitely come back at some point.
I think Gareth is the real character behind Terminus.
For better or worse.
We still don’t know if he’s a villain.
Question 9 - joe kerr asks K Do you think the painting that Carl found was a painting
of Mary?﻿
Someone on reddit actually connected the dots.
But yes, the person in the painting looks exactly like Mary.
Which means that was probably her family in the pink room.
It lends credence to the fact she’s a little crazy and we just won’t find out till it’s
too late.
Hopefully that mystery meat she’s serving up isn’t what we think it is.
Question 10 - Maddie Hall asks Do you think they are eating Beth?
So this could go down a number of ways.
If they are hunters, and they’re paying homage to the comics, then they wouldn’t
be eating Beth, they’d just be eating her leg.
In the comics it was Dale, who had been bitten by a walker when that happened.
And Beth was just kidnapped.
She didn’t get bitten.
So no matter what, they’d have to change a few things about that part of the story.
I really hope they’re not hunters.
Or if they are Hunters, they just have her tied up somewhere.
With all her limbs firmly attached.
Bonus Question - Laurent asks Why do you think the doors of the terminus and the whole thing
wasn't really secured?
﻿
I think they have people ready with weapons in case something goes wrong.
And it’s in a nice open area, so you’d be able to see Walkers approaching from a
long way away.
That sign said lay down your weapons or you’ll be met by force.
It think next week we’ll meet the force.
So thanks so much for submitting questions, next Sunday it all goes down.
I’ll be doing a season 5 predictions video sometime this week, be sure to subscribe to
get it.
And now that Walking Dead is almost over, let me know what kind of videos you want to
see me do for it until it comes back.
Like the Game of Thrones videos I do, or something else.
Be sure to let me know.
Right now click here for my review of the episode and click here for my Lizzie WTF video.
That will be a good episode to re-visit in the off season.
Thanks for watching, see you guys tomorrow, high fives!
