The Walking Dead Season 6: 10 Questions We're Asking After The Mid-Season Finale

By Michael Potts / December 1, 2015

Well, that's your lot until February, folks. The Walking Dead has wrapped up the first half of Season 6 with an nerve-jangling episode that lacked in the 'death' department, but made up for it with a flow of intense scenes that have perched the show on a knife-edge. The biggest individual moment was the realisation that Alexandria leader Deanna was bitten after the walkers stormed the walls, but the show set up an enormous comic book character and some themes that will be huge once Season 6 returns for its second half on Valentine's Day 2016. We left every character in some sort of perilous situation, as Glenn is yet to be reunited with Maggie, Carol and Morgan have been left unconscious, Doctor Denise has been swept away by the captive wolf, and the fate of several characters remains up in the air. There's a tonne of questions raised by Episode 8, and here are the biggest that will have everyone talking...

10. Why, Sam? WHY?

Jessie is starting to win plenty of fans around the world, but the same certainly can't be said for her face palm-inducing kids. Sam. What are you doing, kid? He's isolated himself in his room to be alone with his toys and damn creepy Insidious music, and that's okay for a scared child to do. But now he's been forced out of his habitat and a guts-soaked poncho has been slapped over him. It was all going so well up until the very end of the episode when little Sam had an urgent question for Jessie that apparently couldn't wait until they were clear of the sound-sensitive flesh-eaters surround them. What's so important, Sam? And will the group suffer as a result of his damn stupidity?
