The Walking Dead Season 5: 12 Most Shocking Moments

Nobody is ever safe on this show.

The curtain has come down on another season of AMC's hit show The Walking Dead, giving fans until October to mull over what they've witnessed during Season 5. In the show's new world created by the zombie apocalypse, there are only two guarantees: death and blood. And Season 5 offered more than enough of both. The group took some big casualties over the last 16 episodes, but soldiered on, and were transformed from cattle ready for the slaughter into a battle-hardened unit, protected by their very own four walls. Natural selection looks to be slowly weeding out the weakest members left in the world, as the physical and psychological effects of being in the wild so long have taken their toll, meaning that Rick and the gang's enemies are becoming increasingly savage. But the original group - plus some late additions - have also undergone the same process, with the vast majority of them ready for combat at a moment's notice. The horror show has laid its foundations on pushing the boundaries of TV, and the writers' have a habit of producing stunning scenes from out of nowhere, meaning nobody is safe, so let's look at some of the most shocking scenes that Season 5 had to offer.
