The Walking Dead Season 6: 14 WTF Moments From 'Now'

Could Glenn really still be alive?!

by Andrew Pollard

Now was a mixed bag for The Walking Dead, with it a mish-mash of important, poignant moments and some flat out filler. After last week€™s delve into Morgan€™s backstory, we once again return the action to the walled community of Alexandria in the aftermath of the attack by The Wolves. Rick€™s now back at the apparent safe haven, although there€™s also plenty of walkers in tow. Then there€™s the lingering issue of Glenn. Whilst we viewers last saw Glenn in what could at best be described as a €˜sticky situation€™ and at worst be described as a gory, painful death, our familiar Walking Dead faces are none the wiser and have to make their assumptions on Glenn€™s fate based on his absence. As Maggie steps up to go on the search for her missing husband, we get some much-needed screen time for Aaron, not to mention a big reveal from Maggie that explains just why she€™s been taking it so easy this season. And then there€™s Deanna, who has now seemingly taken her steps away from the easy, idyllic outlook on life and realised just how messed up the world is. When all was said and done, Now still managed to deliver plenty of WTF moments, and here€™s the best of the bunch.

14. Rick€™s Return

When we last saw Rick, he was stranded in an RV as some walkers began to appear from the bushes. More-or-less right from the start of Now, we€™re given Rick€™s return to Alexandria as the ever-grizzled Grimes barks orders for the Alexandria gates to be opened. Of course, things aren€™t that easy, for Rick happens to have a sh*t load of walkers in tow, which leads to the fear being amped up amongst some of the Alexandria residents (Alexandrians?). It had been a while, but we were then given one of Rick Grimes€™ famous power speeches, last seen around the time that Rick was sporting his angry beard. Sadly for fans of the crazy redneck look, the beard has yet to return in Season 6 just yet.
