SPOILERS & RUMORS for The Walking Dead TV Series *Enter at your own risk*

[Deckard]

Sure.

 

[thenammagazine]

Norman Reedus just posted a pic of Andrew Lincoln clean shaven. Rumors have it that it means he was killed off.

I have no idea if this was discussed because I'm not reading this thread.

Or maybe Rick just shaved?

 

[Snake Plissken]

Or maybe Rick just shaved?

Rick has shaved twice so far in the comic

 

[Rambler]

Yeah, don't see any reason to think Rick will be killed in the 2nd half of this season.

[GasparZizou]

So Rick is going Britney/Heisenberg on us?

Just finished season 2, it didn't have the impact it should have, cause I got way too many things spoiled due to my stoopeed facebook, but as usual I enjoy the characters, pretty solid show.

Entertainment Weekly received an advanced screening of the midseason premiere and commented on it in the new January 31/February 7 issue.
It gets a mixed review for the first episode of 2014, ultimately earning a “B” grade.

As EW wrote in its TV listings for Sunday, February 9:

"No show on television uses silence like The Walking Dead. AMC’s zombie megahit returns tonight after a slam-bang midseason finale bloodbath, and what hits you most of all is the quiet: the wordless opening scene, the eternal cicada soundtrack, the way Andrew Lincoln’s injured Rick makes every breath sound like torture. Long stretches of the episode focus on Carl, left alone to wander through the emptied streets of post-zombie suburbia. It’s a showcase for Chandler Riggs, the post-apocalyptic Huck Finn. Inevitably, people start talking - and midway through its fourth season, Dead still has problems constructing an exciting scene with its pre-dead humans. (A flashback dream sequence is particularly leaden.) The Walking Dead’s visual storytelling is top-notch. You just wish the characters had something more interesting to say.”

And an article from WP:

The midseason finale aired on December 1 and we’ve been impatiently waiting for Episode 9 to launch the second half of Season 4. The return date — Sunday, February 9 — is now right around the corner, and more information is slowly trickling out about that hour and the final eight hours of the season.AMC has yet to release an official Episode 9 title or synopsis, but according to Daily Dead the title is “After” and this is the vague description: "As Rick deals with old wounds, members of the prison have to come to terms with their new environment and ask themselves if survival alone is enough."Before digging too deep into what that means, Daily Dead also noted, “For those of you on Twitter, we’ve been told that Norman Reedus [Daryl Dixon] will take part in a live Twitter Q&A in the hours leading up to the February 9th premiere of After.” Bonus!Episode 9 was written by Robert Kirkman, who executive producers the show and also writes the ongoing comic book series. He said Episode 9 would be a very close adaptation to the comics, and Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) has already said Episode 9 would be a big showcase for Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs).Entertainment Weekly has a brief review of the new episode, echoing the idea that it has a strong focus on Carl, since Rick is still injured and recovering from the prison battle. EW also mentions a flashback dream sequence, which could be tied to the synopsis’ mention of Rick’s “old wounds.”We’re not expecting to see too many other members of Team Prison on Episode 9, but the comics do feature Michonne in the post-prison Rick/Carl issues, so maybe we see her back at the prison in the aftermath, then cut to the Grimes boys as they try to find shelter and supplies? She may be alone, and perhaps she’s the one they mean in the synopsis when asking “if survival alone is enough.” That’s just a guess, though.AMC previously released a general synopsis for the second half of Season 4:"Following the devastating events of the midseason finale, Rick and the group are still reeling from the loss of their home, family, and friends. With the destruction of the prison, we see the group of survivors broken apart and sent on divergent paths, unsure of everyone else's fate. What was a challenging life behind fences and walls grows that much more perilous and precious as they are exposed to new dangers, new enemies, and heartbreaking choices. They will have their faith thoroughly tested -- a faith that breaks some of them and redeems others."New dangers. New enemies. Heartbreaking choices. Faith tested. Some broken, some redeemed. Who needs redemption at this point? What heartbreaking choices do you predict?We already knew all the titles for the second half of Season 3 by this time last year, but life is rougher for everyone in Season 4, so we’ll try to be patient. Does this at least pique your curiosity or is it not enough information to work with?The Walking Dead Season 4 returns with Episode 9 on Sunday, February 9 at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.Source: Daily Dead

Doesn't look like anyone is holding a baby in any of those.

 

[averagejo]

Unless the Judith is stuffed in this bag...???

There aren't any bus images either, so maybe someone grabbed her and brought her on the bus.

Last one tonight...
Sorry if its been posted earlier in the thread.

With Rick’s group split up at the end of The Walking Dead Mid-Season Finale, it raises a lot of interesting possibilities for the final eight episodes. We’ve compiled some spoilers for the remaining episodes of Season 4. We have not yet seen any future episodes, so these spoilers are based on what we’ve heard from sources with a dash of speculation mixed in to fill in the gaps.

5. Rick’s Group Divided – Judging from what we’ve heard, don’t expect Rick’s group to all get back together right away. In fact, there will likely be a couple of standalone type episodes, similar to The Governor-centric episodes, which focus on just one cast member or a small group of cast members.

4. Carl Is The Center Of An Entire Episode – Speaking of episodes focusing on just one cast member, Chandler Riggs will basically carry one entire episode. In a preview clip aired during the Talking Dead, Carl was the only member of Rick’s group shown, as he coaxed two walkers away from a house, which is likely a scene from the Carl-centered episode. As Andrew Lincoln told Comicbook.com exclusively, “Just wait, all I will say is just wait for what this kid [Chandler Riggs] is going to do this season. He I think has done one of the best episodes certainly this season, and he kind of carries it. It’s beautiful what he’s done.” It looks like Carl’s 31-year-old female stunt double will be earning her money in that episode.

3. More Daryl Dixon – For the first part of Season 4, Daryl has gotten relatively little screen time as compared to Season 3. Norman Reedus fans should be pleased with the second half of Season 4, as there will be a lot more Daryl. Just like with Carl, expect at least one episode, maybe two to focus almost exclusively on Daryl.

2. Carol Returns – Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman has confirmed that Carol will return before the end of Season 4. But here’s something that hasn’t been confirmed. The rumor is that when she returns that she will meet up with Tyreese, who still doesn’t know that she killed Karen and David.

1. A Major Character Dies – Ok, predicting that someone else will die before Season 4 of The Walking Dead wraps up is pretty much like predicting the sun will rise in the morning. However, we’ve got a pretty good indication of which cast member will be dying, and let’s just say it will be a real shocker. If what we believe is correct, then one of the main cast members who has not been killed in the comic book series will die during Season 4.

[OSCORP]

Look ahead got me excited.

 

[crows]

I wonder who is dying?????

any guesses?

 

[Deckard]

Hard to tell what characters are considered "major" to them. But my guess would be Bob or Sasha. I'm suprised they survived the prison even.

 

[Rambler]

Has anyone seen the photo from Spoiling the Deads FB page that shows what appears to be a baseball bat with barbed wire around it? If not, I'll try to grab the photo and post it here.

Gawd...It could be ANYBODY!

Post it!

 

[Rambler]

Ask and you shall receive. This was posted on the "Spoiling the Dead" Facebook page.

They say a main cast member, who has NOT been killed off in the comic will die this season. That would mean Rick, Carl, Maggie or Michonne. Out of those four I would say Maggie would be most likely,but Rick would be the biggest shocker. They could also be playing tricky with the wording of the hint and it could be Daryl who has never been in the comic and thus never killed. Finally, we know that Abraham, Rosita and Eugene are joining the cast, but I would not consider any of them a main cast member (yet). But again, if they want to be tricky, it could also mean Rosita and Eugene are eligible to be killed off.

Damn, as much as I don't want it to be true, my guess is that Rick will die. Huge shock and maybe the beginning of the end for the show.

Nice work Averagejo - great pics and news, I'm really getting stoked now for the dead to return - 15 more days!
