The Walking Dead Season 6: 10 Things Episode 1 Got Right

8. A Shock Death

In a series where every person has a rapidly approaching expiry date, it's good to keep the order of deaths unpredictable. The show has killed off some major players in brutal ways, but the creators have ensured they remain unpredictably shocking with the death of a brand new character in the Premiere. The promotional material suggested Carter could've been a big new face within the group, yet he's already been chomped by a walker and had a knife buried into his neck by Rick. And just like that, he's gone for good. Will there be any repercussions from his death? Well, the group have bigger problems facing them right now, so you'd guess not. That's his role, in-and-out, just like that.
