The Walking Dead Season 6: 10 Questions We’re Asking After ‘The Same Boat'

6. Are Rick's Group Really The Bad Guys?

It's an aspect that simply won't fall away. Are Rick and the survivors slowly becoming the bad guys of the series? It would be a colossal shift, and while I can't see the show turning our heroes into all-out villains, they're certainly making decisions that the majority of moral citizens wouldn't opt for. Pre-emptively slaughtering a group they had never encountered, who didn't even know Alexandria existed was a dark move. The Saviours from Episode 13 highlighted this fact, as their friends were murdered in their sleep by raiders. Ultimately, that's the sort of thing Rick's group have been victims of. Nobody can define right and wrong anymore, and that's a terrifying prospect.
