The suspense could have been good if the showrunners skipped only one episode before going back on what happened to Glenn. But since the cat was out of the bag practically, there was no use holding it back for several more episodes because it came out already looking pretty ordinary and flat, and the excitement is nearly gone.
Throw into the mix as well the fact that there was an obvious inconsistency in directing and cinematography, particularly on the angle when Nicholas and Glenn fell onto the mob of walkers. A case in point is the fact that the two of them fell away from the dumpster so it is just almost impossible to see Glenn’s head almost beneath the dumpster because it just does not add up.
When Glenn made it alive after his near-death ordeal, it becomes clear that he has become one of the more important characters of “The Walking Dead” that cannot or should not be killed off just as easy because fans would not really like it.
The bigger question is who among Rick’s merry band of survivors will see their end in the Season 6 finale because that is what Andrew Lincoln appears to insinuate when he said that the show will move to its darkest finale yet in its six-year run on AMC.
