The Walking Dead Season 8: 10 Big Questions We Need Answers To
OMG who does Negan kill? Sorry, that was last year.
There was only one question on the lips of The Walking Dead fans before the start of season seven: who does Negan kill? Viewers got their answer halfway through the premiere when it was revealed that Abraham and Glenn were the victims we had been waiting to discover.
One year on, the zombie apocalypse drama is poised to return for its eighth season on October 22nd, and the mysteries this time around have been spread thinner than that dramatic cliffhanger.
Like, who is the king of 9-ball pool at Alexandria?
Was Negan’s spaghetti well seasoned?
Are all the doctors named Carson, like how bastards are named Snow in Game Of Thrones?
What we do know is that Rick Grimes and his militia of Alexandria, Hilltop Colony and The Kingdom are going to war with Negan and The Saviours. The trailer for season eight teases this all-action conflict, and gives the audience plenty else to ponder, which we will address shortly.
Like, has Gabriel actually got his shi**ing pants on?
Okay, enough fun and games. Now onto the serious ones...

10. Where Is Gregory?
We last saw the cowardly Gregory planning a road trip with Hilltop henchman Kal in the penultimate episode of the season - Something They Need.
This means he is completely ignorant to the rebellion against The Saviours at Alexandria in the season finale, which bodes poorly for him when he arrives at his destination. We assume this is to be The Sanctuary, because Gregory was shown to be reading a note given to him by Negan’s deputy Simon, instructing him on how to find the base.
Gregory’s intention is almost certainly to inform Simon of Rick’s alliance with The Hilltop, and to distance himself from their plans to fight in order to curry favour with Negan. Little does he know, his snivelling message will arrive too late, with war already declared.
In Robert Kirkman’s graphic novels, Negan uses Gregory to try to persuade Hilltop forces to back down. If showrunners stick to this narrative, which is no guarantee considering the creative freedom they have, we could learn Gregory’s fate in the opening episode.
