By the time you read this, another seven characters will have died. The Walking Dead is like a murder party where the guests keep disappearing, and the host is a zombie with bad breath. As of now, the core survivors include Daryl, Carol, Maggie, Eugene (who grew from coward to hero), and Negan (who went from villain to reluctant babysitter). Spoiler: even Godzilla couldn’t kill these people—they’d just rip off his tail and make stew.
So next time someone asks, “Who is dead on The Walking Dead?” just smile and say, “Everyone you loved, and everyone you didn’t.” Then take a sip of your coffee, because the only thing rotting faster than the zombies is your hope for a happy ending. Cheers.
