My husband and I took a walk this afternoon and got around to the topic of The Walking Dead. I wondered out loud if we would learn Glenn’s fate tonight, but then decided that we probably won’t. I stand behind my theory that Glenn’s not dead, despite the fact that my husband thinks I’m in denial.
My husband, Bill, is pretty sure that Glenn was eaten. I countered by asking why else would The Powers That Be (TPTB) put a dumpster at the end of the alley if not to give Glenn something to hide under, but he didn’t agree.
Instead, he came up with his own theory and I was utterly terrified by the thought of what he described. According to Bill, Glenn died and will turn into a walker. At some point in the future, possibly the season finale, Maggie will come face to face with walker Glenn. By that time, we the viewers will know what Glenn and Maggie already knew, that she is pregnant.
So, picture that for a moment. Maggie is pregnant, Glenn is dead, and Maggie is confronted by him, possibly about to get bit by him. Her only option of surviving and keeping their baby safe is to kill Glenn. Maggie. Kill Glenn. How horrifying is that?
I truly hope that Bill is wrong, but given that Scott M. Gimple already said that we would see some variation of Glenn in the future, I can actually see TPTB doing something like this. It would be reminiscent of the moment when Sophia slowly walked out of the barn.
