With the season finale, we now have our core group of survivors for next season. Here are some of my thoughts.
1) Morgan. I loved S1 Morgan. I cannot stand his "do not kill" mantra. But I guess we are stuck with him as leader.
2) Alicia. I never liked Alicia, but I have warmed up to her.
3) Strand. I like the character, but think he exists to just play the foil for others.
4) The Cowboy (why can I never remember his name?) I love the character!
5) June: I do not get into her. Will she live? Will she die? It depends on what they want to do with cowboy.
6) Al: An interesting character; but one I do not get into yet. Lots of possibilities with her though.
7) The Kid: Lots can be done with her. She is going to do a Carl and grow up faster than the plot timeline. She is much more interesting than Enid & she does not mope around all day.
8) The Two Truckers: I have no opinion yet. Could they be food for the fishes?
As to deaths, I think Morgan, Cowboy (isn't John his name?), Strand, Alicia, and the kid are safe next season.
It is entirely possible that the core group could go the entirety of next season without a death since they almost completely wiped out the Manawa Gang.
Question: Will be faced with another mustache-twirling mega bad guy next season?
Any thoughts?
