The Walking Dead Season 6: 10 Most Shocking Moments (So Far)

8. Carter's Death

The first significant (or so we thought) death in Season 6 was Carter in the woods as the herd began to disband. He had been touted around by AMC as a brand new character for months, yet his role was over in minutes. He disagreed with Rick, and that usually doesn't end well. That's not because Rick kills everyone with a minor disagreement, it's because the Grimes knows best, and if you don't listen to him, you die. Carter was just coming round to the plan when he was pounced on by a walker. His screams threatened to derail the entire plan, but Rick acted swiftly and mercy-killed the Alexandrian for the greater good. It was a shocking moment that demonstrated how decisive Rick has had to become.
