7. Nicholas Was The One Being Eaten
Well start with the most obvious one - that being the idea that the insides we saw the zombies feasting upon like a blood-soaked buffet were not actually Glenns, but those of his companion Nicholas. The relationship between the two has been a strained one, with Nicholas even trying to kill Glenn at one point, but Glenn has tried to give him the benefit of the doubt and let him earn his way back into the group. Cornered atop the dumpster with walkers on all sides and no visible means of escape, Nicholas thanks Glenn presumably for offering him redemption and then shoots himself in the head, causing both men to fall off the dumpster and into the waiting sea of zombies like an undead stage dive. The scene is shot in such a way that we dont explicitly see if its Nicholas or Glenn that the walkers are tearing apart, so the door is left open to wonder. And usually when things are done that way it's for a good reason, and in this case its so the more obsessive viewers can cling to the hope that Glenn is still with us.
