Unanswered Questions in The Walking Dead

Now that The Walking Dead is officially over and we got a pretty satisfactory conclusion for the most part, I couldn’t help but think about all the questions we’re still left with. There’s quite a few things even from just season 11 that weren’t answered, but across multiple different seasons that we just never got any on-screen answers to.

[@bishbosh4815]

Did he though? I mean, that arc took basically seasons to complete as opposed to other characters whose arcs began and ended in 3 or less in the early seasons. Gabriel didn't even really have anything to do until season 8 and he didn't become a badass until season 10. And if they hadn't done that coming full circle thing with him opening the gates to let people in, would you still say it was the most complete character arc? So many side characters in TWD don't even have arcs, they reach a certain point and then just plateau

Carol hands down had the best ark of the entire series. She went from a defenseless DV victim to one of if not the most capable characters in the entire show. Having to kill one of her daughters was soooooo crazy and a huge defining moment for her. She was my favorite for a most of the middle of the series when she was cutthroat. But later on they started to regress her character a little and it kind of bothered me. But overall she was incredible.

[@kerraptregolls4929]

I hated her and wish she got it instead of Dale

[@SensaiGaia1]

Yeah, at first it was good to see her become a stronger independent woman after what she had been through but after a while I just feel she moaned and whined too much. Definitely got annoying after a bit.

[@mistersinister2972]

​@kerraptregolls4929 she was supposed to die instead of T-Dog but I really wish she died instead

[@Katastrophe9009]

I don't think it was regression, it was growth. She was still just as ruthless and capable of handling shit if she needed to, but she had learned restraint from her past experiences pursuing vengeance always ending in more people getting hurt/killed. She'd still shoot/stab/kill anyone who was a threat to her or her group without hesitation if need be, but she learned that killing should ultimately be a last ditch effort. She actively tries to prevent other characters in the show from going down a similar path after she nearly gets Connie killed. Yet still, a badass. Easily the best arc in the show.

[@buonocj]

Carol didn't kill her daughter. Sophia was lost and she was bitten. Rick ended up shooting her at the farm. Carol killed lizzie

[@ThatMainframeDude]

I like that there are characters that "disappear" or are "forgotten". This brings a bit of realism to the show. We don't know how everyone we ever met in our life time turns out. You ride public transport to work, see the same people day after day, but you don't know their story, you probably don't even know their name.

I honestly thought when seeing Georgie that she was part of the commonwealth before the commonwealth was introduced. I also thought that the commonwealth were the group that had taken Rick, obviously before we found out that they were the CRM.

[@DeathBYDesign666]

That might become a conflict in the Rick and Michonne show since the Commonwealth is under new leadership, a good reason why they didn't just kill governor Hornsby. It's hard to believe that a fairly small city can produce all the goods that they have on their own. And she eludes to their being something like a million little city states out there as well. What we really need an answer for is what the state of the world is as a whole and I think it's leading up to some kind of answer for this.

yea its a massive retcon cuz walkers in season 1 could try to open doors like Morgan's dead wife, pick up rocks, climb over stuff and run at people when Rick first encountered a herd. Stuff like this kinda makes civilization collapsing after a few months Rick woke up makes sense because of how threatening they were. But yeah to explain why the main group was shocked seeing those variant walkers could just be because they never went to certain areas like the city in Atlanta. Everyone in the group that went to the city besides Rick and Daryl died. I dont remember Daryl being surprised seeing the variant walkers but if he did in s11 he'd probably also be surprised because of the way they're trying to write the story lol. This is just me trying to explain a messy retcon lol

The Walking Dead is not really "over" they are just doing the 12th season split into spin offs, because of streaming rights. Netflix owns the rights to each season, now they would have to renew contracts if they want to stream the 3 spin off series. It's brilliant, really. Also it renews interest in TWD, bringing back some viewers who long tuned out. So all of these characters and their resolutions will still happen, since again, the show itself isn't over

Funny, when Negan showed up in the series, I just wanted him dead. And was shocked when he was still around all season long. I just thought "That guy needs to be dead"! Than I felt it was ridiculous when he was still around the following seasons. But later I love how he changed. Love the scene where he was in that house with a bottle of whiskey at the fireplace and was arguing wing his old self until he threw the glass at him.

[@Victor_ailey]

I think his character arc was one of my favorites in the series because they did such a great job of making you seethingly hate him to really understanding the humanity in him and what a mind fuck that arc was. That scene was really good. I like that they took time to develop his arc separately from Maggie and when they’re finally in each others lives you have to sit with the complexity of the relationship as a viewer. You went negan dead for Maggie’s sake but you know more about him now which makes him harder to unanimously hate. When Maggie finally comes up to him to address forgiving him, her final monologue holds the dynamism that the viewer has been forced to for a few seasons now. It was brilliantly said as well. Yep, one of my favorites

She was putting together a book. She gave Maggie a set of guides for windmills, aqueducts, and other stuff to help Hilltop thrive. She said she'd return to see their progress someday but instead ended up exchanging written letters/mail by way of bodyguards.

My theory on the variants: The virus that reanimates the dead works alot like the flood from halo and also like a fungus. I say flood from halo because we've really only seen the variant walkers in big groups. The more walkers lumped together, the more virus is concentrated. Allowing it to communicate with itself and slowly get smarter. Like how in Halo, small out break of flood is bad but what ever, it can be dealt with. A big one however? They've made a graveminde and are now coordinating strikes and tactics. I say fungus as well because that could explain why gutting up allows you to walk with the dead. The sent from the rotted or dead flesh, blood and bile is emiting the "spors" or just super soaks you with the virus the hoard mind can't tell them apart. Thats my Ted Talk.

For the variant zombie reasoning why we didn’t see it most seasons : the virus is fighting itself , although it was innate inside our bodies as soon as it woke up it started to try and change itself , but the “variant” wasn’t strong enough to take over (and the original strain won) until season 10 again where it might fail to take hold again . This is how real viruses operate and as long as we aren’t assuming the zombie disease is supernatural , we could easily assume the variant virus isn’t strong enough to present itself in a lot of infected , so in the beginning at Atlanta we see a small surge of variants but that strain of virus was wiped out by the original strain , until now (again). So if the variant can take hold and mutate the original virus into creating all zombies into tool using climbing zombies , it would likely never regress to the original virus unless we vaccinated the hell out of it .

[@lxb4280]

To add to this. The variants might be among the huge hordes. And are most likely the ones "spared" when human survivors leave cuz the horde is to big. They are suppose to be "intellegent" with the use of tools and grabbing weapons to survive. And with all the clearing out of random zombie stranglers. We see them more an more. We dont get more variants per say. They are just the ones left. If that makes sense. I also think they degrade slower than the normal walkers. So we will end up with regular walkers decaying and the variants staying "fresher"

The PPP card is definitely an electronic card key for opening a door (or multiple doors). It's exactly like one I used on a job I had from 2009 to 2014. You'd normally wear it on a lanyard or a badge reel. Trying to remember what their card keys looked like at the medical facility in World Beyond... Fear has moved to Savannah, GA. And I think that's not just for shooting, but for story. Maybe the Padre ship sailed there? So I doubt we'll see Georgie on that show. But wouldn't it be cool if she turned up in her own Tales ep, if they decide to do another season? My bet is that the Rick & Michone show only goes those precious 6 episodes, and it leads them somehow back to Judith for closure, then ends with that bit they already shot with the grown up Grimes sibs.

I feel like an A is someone from a community that is loyal to it, and since they are loyal they won’t want to be in the CRM so they use them to try and find a cure. and a B is someone just alone in the wild. Because Negan was an A, Jadis says Rick was an A but she lied so he can live. And when Gabriel told Jadis he has to tell Rick that Jadis was gonna trade someone, Jadis said “and all this time I thought you were a B” because Gabriel before hand had lied to Rick about where Jadis was one night. But since gabe was more loyal to Rick she basically called gabe an A then knocked him out.

My guess for the sudden appearance of the Variants, is that they are regional Variants, which explains how the were known by the the researchers in france but not to the cdc, and their "sudden" appearance is explained through the migration of walker hordes, which drove Variants away from their point of origin and slowly diffused them into the larger walker population but also spread them to new locations.

You know, the group that attacked Terminus (the one we saw in the flashbacks in S5) that later got put in the Containers.. That group exactly was what Randall was talking about.

I'm really impressed with the character development of Aaron but I don't wish to see him getting any big screen time. I never liked him on the show for a reason I can't put my finger on.

Still wanna know when did Sophia get bit and when she got in the barn. how did the saviors know when to set up road blocks and the group was heading to hilltop. How did rick escape the RV of hordes in season 6.

[@josephstalin2606]

She got bit where she dropped her doll and turned and Otis found her already turned and lured her into the barn. It all happened within the same day/night most likely since the next day is when Carl is shot and they find the farm not knowing that Sophia was already a walker inside the barn next door, and that’s why everyone was so defeated when they found her already dead because they all wasted their time finding a little girl somewhere in the woods when she was right next to where they were staying the whole time

And fear jumps ahead in time a lot more than the walking dead does so while I don't think we'll see her again it definitely is possible given the timelines.

[@Tacomaguy458]

By far the best character development was Gabriel and Aaron. Gabriel was reserved and scared shitless when they found him and he turned into the 1 eyed machete wielding badass by the last season. He was always the voice of reason until the bonus episode with him and Aaron when they got drunk and were forced to play Russian roulette by the T-1000. He changed his view drastically after that. Aaron was the scout for Alexandria and could hold his own but as he learned from Ricks lead, he had to become hardened or die. His turning point for me was when he ran into Negan while he was wearing the whisperers mask after he went missing and was super aggressive about it. After that, the reasonable side of him was long gone other than trying to play ball with Hornsby. I think the show was fantastic and super entertaining but I was ultimately just "along for the ride" after the whisperers went away. I think the whole reapers thing was just weird and drawn out and this whole last season was a bit of a shit show of politics. 24 episodes taking over a year and a half to air just to leave a bunch of doors open for spinoffs and kill a few main characters was a super letdown. I did like that they brought back Morales ( I think was his name ) from the original group at the quarry was an interesting spin but the whole last season was pretty predictable and drawn out for what we all knew was going to happen 2 episodes into it. I would've liked to get a bit more backstory on the commonwealth if its going to eat up 24 episodes. There were supposedly 50,000 residents however we only seen a very small piece of it. If there was really 50k people there, it would be an enormous settlement. Shit, for all we know, Rick could've been running a district of it and we would never have known because he isn't mentioned at all in the last season to anyone from the commonwealth. They could've said his name to Hornsby and he was like, "oh Rick Grimes? he is a leader here. Hop in this car and we can go say hi".

I was always hoping that there would be some sort of nod to Clementine from the games in the show, I know in an earlier season we got a (sort of) Lee reference when Michonne mentioned something about Macon but that was it. I know that they’re technically meant to be separate but considering Michonne had her own game and they mentioned Lee in the series it would’ve been cool to at least have some mention of Clem in the show. I’m hoping that Judith will sort of be like what Clementine was in the games, just a badass kid that can take care of themselves and the people around them. It would even be cool to see her possibly get her own spin off one day maybe. I haven’t actually watched season 11 yet as I haven’t seen past the end of season 8 after Carl dies, I’m rewatching the show currently and still have more questions than answers from even early seasons. There were so many characters that had the potential to be really great and although they may not have had much character progression (cough cough ** Andrea) towards the end they seemed really promising and then were just killed off, it was the same with Merle too. Again I’m aware that the tv series is supposed to be different from the comics otherwise it would be quite boring for those who have read the comics but sometimes consistency is nice.
