I think they made it pretty clear that Glen's guts weren't being eaten, otherwise they would have shown that. Pretty certain it was the other dude. That said, I still don't know how he'd be able to get out of that situation. You have a 170 lb dude on you, surrounded by dozens of zombies. Even if you push the guy off, you'd think at least one of those zombies would try to take a bit of him.

i assume he will walk out of there undetected, covered in blood & guts like him and rick did in season one. but what's interesting is... in season one, they covered themselves in walker blood... here, he is covered in blood by someone that didn't turn yet. so, the question is... does it matter? everyone is infected and the infection is in the blood. would someone be able to cover themselves in any old blood (walker or not) and go undetected by walkers, since everyone technically has the infection?

maybe i am looking into it too much and he pulls of some acrobatic stunt off the dumpster and goes up that staircase/fire escape thing they passed just before being trapped up against the fence.

Yeah, I thought that too. I'd assume if he covered himself in fresh blood, that would make him more attractive to the walkers. I mean, they like to chow down and are attracted to fresh blood and guts but aren't attracted to walker guts...as seen when they covered themselves in walker guts.
I guess we'll see....

and the references to rick's injured hand? foreshadowing for a possible amputation? loses his hand in a much different fashion in the comics, wonder if they are setting it up for him to lose it to keep a little consistency with the character between the show and comics?

So, I saw him injure his hand but wasn't paying close attention. Did he get bit or did he accidentally stab himself?
Rick loses a hand in the comics?!

i think it's the same hand that he initially injured in his fight with tyreese at the prison and then again in the fight with the governor on the prison's front lawn. and AGAIN injured it last episode where i think he cut it open while knifing a few walkers.

and sorry about the comic spoiler --- i thought it was already mentioned in this thread, but more of a comic book spoiler below....






the governor cuts his hand off after torturing him a bit. i don't know why they omitted it from the show but i have to assume it was too gruesome for TV and couldn't find a way to incorporate that into the show without completely butchering the scene (the whole torture scene was rough!). there were talks about rick losing it in a different fashion in the show to keep his character development relatively close to the comics (contributed to his mental breakdown). maybe this is the beginning of that?

SPOILER ALERT! I really need to just stop reading about this show on the internet.

sorry about that man. edited the post warning of a possible spoiler. i thought it was discussed here previously during the season that took place at the prison.

After a full day of contemplation I think Glenn is so bad ass he'll get out of it...It will be interesting to see.

Game of Thrones has us hanging about Jon Snow and now this. At least I won't have to wait until January to find out....

No worries..I was just messing around. Spoilers from the comic book are pretty hard to avoid.

Exactly. Even if something draws the herd away, lying underneath a person would not give you enough shelter from that many feeding zombies for as long as that scene went on. Yes, maybe his torso would be covered by the other guys, but all four limbs and his head covered enough that he couldn't be bitten by that mob? I don't think so. I can suspend belief a bit for this show, but they better come up with a better explanation than that. The falling van scene was bad....but if 'he had a guy lying on top of him' is the excuse for a main-character-death-fake, I'd be more than a little disappointed.

I hope Rick doesn't lose his hand. The show loosely follows the comic, which I like.

Glen isn't dead either. No way.

Glen's not dead....haven't they shown him in some sort of torture-y situation in the previews? Either way, he's too big of a character to go out like that. Was a helluva shock though. Third episode, after last week's....just a stunner. After reading some speculation and stuff I'm thinking he crawled under the dumpster and it'll buy enough time for him to be "rescued" by the wolves.

I forgot about Rick's hand from the comics, but they have teased him losing it several times in the show. I think it's a little thing to keep the comic fans on their toes.

So sad about Glen. :( But maybe he's not really dead. He always reminded me of my 2 month boyfriend from highschool--John Cheng. This season is really action-packed and very gory---lots of good writing.

HughFreakingDillon

they probably won't show glen again until at least the mid-season finale, but my guess is the mid season premiere. I hope they shock the fuck out of everyone by showing his back as he's wandering through a field, Maggie runs up to him yelling "Glen!" happily and he turns around all zombie-fied with his intestines hanging out.

that would be awesome.

I like Glen's character, but at the same time, it's not very believable that every main character is still alive after all this time. Beth was the last one to die, right? that was a LONG time ago.

Glen and Nick were both wearing the same color shirts...I think Glen gets to the stairs I saw near the building...I can't believe they didn't go up those...but it has a tarp or something laying across it.

I don't want to see Glen a zombie...after living through being walker bait he deserves to live!

pjradio

Glen becomes a Zombie...runs into Maggie somehow, she has to kill him. Makes for great TV

uugh, watched it again and those stairs are far away. 90 minute show on Sunday, can't wait!

man why didnt they pull some ninja shit and run like crazy on top of the zombie heads to the stairs,,,,hahaha,

I hope they don't jump the shark with Glenn now. If he survives I hope we don't get a cheesy escape. Maybe they were giving us a week to digest his death?
ugghh..2 more ours to wait!
