The Walking Dead Season 5: 7 Things To Expect

1. Fear The Hunters

Ultimately, whether Terminus turns out to be the Hunters or not, what does seem clear is that season five will feature them in some fashion. And though they might be drastically different from their comic book counterpart, there will likely remain a few iconic bits to make that very clear. Whether it's some lucky sonofagun getting the famous "tainted meat" line, or a body part getting chewed off, the Hunters seem like a sure thing for season five of the Walking Dead. As much as season four was about testing the limits of the characters, and seeing what you could and couldn't come back from, they have almost used that as a way to prepare them for the conflict against the Hunters. They've been through hell and back, survived vicious enemies, and seen the darkest parts of themselves, all while living to tell the tale. They're ready. And as the Hunters seem poised to jump into the big time on television, it certainly raises questions about them. Will they be connected to Terminus? Are they actually Terminus in disguise? Are they responsible for the numerous signs that the survivors have seen, including "liar", "rapist" and "murderer"? Whatever Gimple's endgame is to bring the Hunters to the small screen, it's sure to be filled with destruction and blood. Just the way we all like it. But now it's up to you. Did I miss something? Or am I completely off and there's no way the Hunters show up in season five? Sound off and let's hear it!
