The Walking Dead Season 6: 10 Questions We’re Asking After ‘East'

Time to riot?

Well, that escalated quickly. Episode 15 was all about setting up the pieces in time for the Season 6 finale to smash them all down. We saw the majority of characters on the move, splintering into smaller groups, merging up again outside the walls, some returned to Alexandria, some are still out there in grave danger, with an all-time fan-favourite left on a total cliffhanger.

Dwight's gun shot in the direction of Daryl, the huge blood splatter, the sound of a body slumping to the floor, the fade to black. It would be a massive surprise if Daryl were to exit the show on that note, but this is where the fans have been left, and the wait for the finale will be an agonising one.

Episode 15 shuffled the pack in several ways, despite it being relatively low-key for large spells, but while it lacked huge amounts of outright action, it doubled-up on enormous talking points and questions with the Season 6 finish line in sight...

10. Will The Sasha/Rosita Feud Lead Somewhere?

One of the minor side-plots has been the simmering tension between Rosita and Sasha. Abraham ousted the former for the latter, and when their eyes met on guard duty, it was a horribly awkward moment for everyone involved. How do you go about a break up in the middle of a zombie onslaught?

It's cool that The Walking Dead is addressing such a commonplace issue in the new world, but is there another reason for the growing tension and will it culminate in a big plot moment? Both characters fall into the disposable category, so could their differences boil over or cloud their judgement and result in another death?

Of course, not every storyline must end with bloodshed, but the questions remains: Is the feud going somewhere or is it really just a side-note?
