10. Rick And Co. May Find A Cure In Season 5 Of The Walking Dead

Rick and the rest of his cohorts found themselves in a tight spot at the end of Season 4 of The Walking Dead. Trapped in a train cart in the middle of Terminus - the makeshift town that the group converge on in Season 4 - our group of survivors will wrestle with trying to find out the true motives of Terminus' citizens, while also learning of a potential cure located in Washington, D.C. The plot synopsis over on Shock Till You Drop provides some interesting tidbits:

Season Four of The Walking Dead ended with Rick and the group outgunned, outnumbered, and trapped in a train car awaiting a grim fate. Season Five picks up shortly thereafter. What follows is a story that weaves the true motives of the people of Terminus with the hopeful prospect of a cure in Washington, D.C., the fate of the group's lost comrades, as well as new locales, new conflicts, and new obstacles in keeping the group together and staying alive.

Chances are, the promise of a cure will lead to nothing (no zombie threat means no TV series), but, this being a series about utter despair in the face of hardships, a cure isn't the only thing Rick and his friends are going to be concerned with. Following in the developing themes of the show, each character is going to be asking themselves some very tough questions about their own moral code. And if a cure truly does exist, how can any of them really return to a 'normal' life?

Stories will break apart and intersect. The characters will find love and hate. Peace and conflict. Contentment and terror. And, in the quest to find a permanent, safe place to call home, one question will haunt them€After all they've seen, all they've done, all they've sacrificed, lost, and held on to no matter what the cost€Who do they become?
