9. Shock Death In The Premiere
As with every finale of every show, shock character deaths aren't uncommon, but in The Walking Dead, they're almost guaranteed. Season 5 was touted to be the end of several key characters, though the writers surprised everyone by keeping the core characters alive. Reg and Pete were killed, though they weren't considered as crucial members of the group, even if their deaths will have some major ramifications in Season 6. But does the lack of a major death mean that the upcoming premiere could be the last for a main character? Glenn was heavily predicted to be killed off, and while he just about managed to escape the walkers during the savage confrontation with Nicholas, is his time nearing an end? There were also fears for Daryl, but he does feel like a character who is too important to kill, though that should be the exact category the writers aim their pens at when it comes to bumping people off for maximum shock value.
