Thoughts on The Walking Dead Sneak Preview of Ep 501

Sunday night on Talking Dead if you haven't already heard, a trailer of Season 5 was aired. If you haven't watched it you can view it below. 

During an on set interview by Chris Hardwick's with Lauren Cohan (aka Maggie Greene) she states, "You'll see members of the group you didn't know were bad ass get to be bad ass." I think we should all brace ourselves and expect a very action packed, disturbingly bloody premiere like no other that we have witnessed before on this show. 

The preview clip focused on Carol and Tyreese as they traveled to Terminus with baby Judith in tow. You can see the back of the Terminus sign in the beginning of the clip. Also if you remember, just before Rick, Michonne and Carl reunited with Daryl they saw a herd of Walkers attacking a screaming man in the field. Based on this scene, I'm thinking Carol and Tyreese should approach Terminus shortly after Rick's group.

Remember both Rick, Michonne and Carl were staying in a house for a couple of days, as did Carol and Tyresse when they had all the kids. Unlike Glen and Maggie, who were on a constant search for each other and covered more ground quickly. Carol and Tyreese timeline seem to be in sync with Rick's group instead of Glen's group (who arrived first).

I'm thinking Carol and Tyreese may hear the gunfire/witness the capture of Rick's group or be accepted into Terminus as a member and later find out the fate of the others. Subsequently, they will be instrumental in the group's freedom. What do you think? Do you think Carol and Tyreese will be trapped as well or do you think they will be the catalyst for the group's escape?

To hold us over until the premiere, AMC has scheduled two additional behind the scenes shows. If you're interested in learning how the show coordinates stunts, weapon uses and explosions don’t miss Inside The Walking Dead tonight, Tuesday July 8th at 10pm est. 

Next week another episode Walker University, this special will show how extras transition to on-set Walkers in the series. We'll see the behind the scene choreography on walking, moving and vocalizing as a Walker and the motivation behind each zombie. If interested, tune in Tuesday July 15th at 10pm est.
