The Walking Dead: 7 Characters That Need To Die In Season 5

Who should be offed this series?

Note: This column contains spoilers for Seasons 1 through 4 of The Walking Dead. It is told from the point of view of someone who hasn€™t read the comic series. The Walking Dead begins its fifth season this Sunday in the United States, airing in the United Kingdom soon afterward. Despite its many flaws, the show has been a serious ratings hit for AMC, drawing in viewers in the tens of millions each week. Why is the show so popular? Zombie kills, baby! Each week, the show comes up with new and exciting ways to kill people who are already dead. The only thing more exciting to the viewing audience than killing the people who are already dead, is killing the people who aren€™t already dead. Each season has seen some shocking demises of main characters. From Dale, Shane and Sophia in Season 2; to Lori, T-Dog and Andrea in Season 3; to Hershel and Lizzie in Season 4; The Walking Dead has proven that no character is safe, no matter how beloved or reviled. With the fifth season upon us, the question becomes: who€™s going to get offed this year? Many minor characters will likely bite the dust, with one or two major shockers thrown in for water cooler talk the next day. This column will look at seven likely candidates. Fear not, Walking Dead fans: Daryl and Michonne are not on this list. No need to riot.
