Did The Wolves Have a Better Plan Than We Thought?
Last week we were left thinking that the Wolves' plan was pretty terrible...but what if it was smarter than we realized? If that truck had taken out the Alexandria main gates the zombies currently on their way from the zombie march would have flowed right into the gates, instead of roughly half of them heading for a fortified town. The Wolves seemed to have the wherewithal and tactical knowledge to try to ambush Rick as he was stalled on the road in the woods, either fleeing from Alexandria or dispatched to attack anyone that disrupted the plan. it's looking more and more likely that the Wolves that hit Alexandria were shock troops designed to weakened the defenses, not an outright attack.
I think he was covered up and that wasn't his guts. I say he's still alive. Plus he wasn't on Talking dead...
Rick seems to have gotten blood from a walker in the cut on his hand. Time to lop that baby off? In the comics Rick loses his hand to the Governor.
Did the cut just come from his knife while he was killing the walkers on the highway?
Holy ****! Glenn is Dead?!
The title of the episode is "Thank You", which Nicholas says before he offs himself. Now, some websites posit that Glenn isn't actually dead, that the blood and entrails we see are Nicholas' and not Glenn's; that would certainly give the episode a dual meaning. These same websites point out that Glenn doesn't die under a horde of hungry zombies in the comics, but I'd point out (COMICS SPOILERS AHEAD) that Andrea is still alive and well in the comics (and she is Rick's love interest) while Carol long ago offed herself, clearly Robert Kirkman and co. are not afraid of changing the script from the comics. I'd also point out that in the comics, we don't have Darrryl, who is Ricks' right/left hand man in the show where Glenn often was. Overall, I'd say that the odds of Glenn not being dead are very, very slim, but I'll certainly concede it is possible.

My co-worker posed that angle this morning, and I'll tell him what I told you. That would be stupid to keep him alive given the likelihood of the situation he would currently be in. He has a dead guy's blood all over him (not zombie blood, human blood) making him vulnerable and aromatic. Every time that the team covered themselves in entrails they came from the already dead, not the living.
If he's alive, the writers are going to stretch out that situation to the point of absurdity.
I think you give them too much credit. For starters, why wasn't a human person piloting the 18-wheeler? There was no logic in that at all.
The wolves are opportunistic, nothing more. They weren't trying to get the RV by choice. In fact, they should be dead right now.
He then was a zombie by the time they got down there to the truck.
This is one facet that has been bugging the hell out of me with this show. How long does it take for one to turn after they die? In the begging it was at least 8-12 hours or longer and now it seems that within minutes they are zombies.
It's always been pretty consistent. If you get bit it takes hours to die. But once you die, it's minutes to turn. Shane was the first time it showed a non-bitten person die and come back.

WHAT? Do you believe a zombie was driving?
The driver was shot from the tower, died and crashed. He then was a zombie by the time they got down there to the truck.
Andrea's sister didn't turn for like 8 hours after she was bit. Shane turned in a matter of minutes. Amount of time varies for cinematic effect, indeed.
Another thought is that if the 18-wheeler couldn't break through the walls that means that the zombie hoard could not have either. They couldn't have the same net impact as the 18-wheeler which had no impact on the wall. There was no reason for this whole zombie-in-tow mission.
Eh - having a good hundred thousand zombies surrounding your town can't be good. With that amount they'd probably wind up trampling eachother and slowly towering up over the walls. Or figuring out how to walk up those beams. But mainly the people wouldn't be able to make food runs and wind up starving. Remember, they need to expand the walls so they can farm.
I'm still waiting for some sort of "super-zombie" to appear. Been waiting 6 seasons for it to happen but hasn't yet and probably won't. Closest we got was that fat bloated zombie bastard in the well outside of Hershel's farm.
But she [Andrea's sister] turned within minutes of dying
What about pack of zombie wolves (animals), bears, dogs or something else fast moving? That's what I've been waiting for.
So I was talking with a buddy at work who watches it in Netflix so he isn't caught up. Anyway, he mentioned that in the second to last episode of last season Daryl asked the gay guy if they had ever turned anyone away from the town. I guess the guy said they had once. It was a family and they had a kid. They drove them out so many miles and left them with a day's worth of supplies. I vaguely remember the scene. Do you think that could have been Enid's family they showed in the beginning of this season?
Maybe Glenn went into shock, passed out, and the zombies thought he was dead because of the smell? I still think his exposed face should have been chewed off.
Here is a theory for you guys to wrap your beer filled brains around:

I wonder if the girl took judith.
Michonne should have piked Betsy's husband when the zombies were eating him against the gate. Damn. Give a guy that much mercy.
As for Glenn, yeah, I think we're going to see an epic, heroic survival. Why leave it open ended if he's dead? When a character is so obviously dead as Glenn, shows just show it. They made a cliff hanger so we could be amazed at how he survives.
Or they're trying to fake us out, and he's dead.
Or, he channels some supernatural ZA genetic mutation evolution superpower, bursts from under the horde like the Hulk, and flies away on blood soaked gossamer wings.
