The Walking Dead Season 6: 10 Questions We’re Asking After ‘The Next World'

Richonne: ACTIVATED. And there's a brand new character too.

It's difficult to come to terms with what I've just seen. The Walking Dead went nuclear in the mid-season premiere, threatening doom for the survivors, but Episode 10 offered up a cosy, new version of the world and 'Richonne' officially made it beyond social media fan dreams and into the show itself. The episode was an overall surprise, not on a 'the kids are dying, Jessie's gone and Carl's had his face blown off' scale, but for the fact that nobody saw any of these events coming so soon after the chaos at Alexandria. We don't know how long it has been since the walker herd, but long enough has passed for the streets to be utterly cleansed of the death, walls fortified back to a safe level, Carl to be allowed out of the house, and Rick to get over Jessie. The group are living how they wanted to live when they first arrived in Deanna's settlement, and that's a good sign of longevity. They're staying put. But with an episode like this where we've jumped ahead in time, a lot of loose ends were ignored and multiple characters were once again left out of proceedings, a million talking points have sprouted. Here are 10 of the most pressing questions we're asking about 'The Next World'.
