While Morgan (Lennie James) and Carol are commonly depicted as loners, it might have made sense to have given them a growing romance, having shared some incredible scenes together, and with audiences perhaps needing a breath of fresh air after moments like the infamous season 6 finale (and season 7 premiere).
#THE WALKING DEAD EPISODES SERIES#
So, for me, this is one of the critical questions surrounding The Walking Dead: Is it a little too bleak, almost in a forced way? Over the past few seasons before season 7, the series decided to abandon most “lovey-dovey” stuff. For example, by season 7, we know Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) established a romantic relationship it’s almost bizarrely ignored in the story arc (and much could be said regarding Carl’s (Chandler Riggs) burgeoning relationship with Enid (Katelyn Nacon), which seems like it simply fizzled out with no actual resolution).

To be fair, there were reasons for doubt, including how The Walking Dead tends to sidestep even some obvious glimmers of hope. If one lets those “we’ve been here before” feelings subside, there’s a sense that maybe, just maybe, some things might begin working out for some people, finally.

So it’s understandable to ask, “Is Carol really not a prisoner now in The Kingdom?” The Walking Dead – The Kingdom represents hope. After that happens enough times, it starts feeling like Lucy is taking away Charlie Brown’s football. Then again, more cynical viewers will understandably feel such a place was previously teased in the series. So, at this point, one assumes maybe The Walking Dead needed one of those rare episodes that are a little less bleak. Why wouldn’t she? She’s seen plenty of places promising to be walker-free, but the human conflict was quick to tear them apart if not the walkers themselves.įortunately, their leader, King Ezekiel (Khary Payton), is not as overtly authoritarian as his name suggests and by no means puts any handcuffs around Carol’s wrists. You can follow along with our "Walking Dead" coverage here.Let’s flashback to Episode 702 of The Walking Dead, and remember how “The Well” introduces another new group of survivors, “The Kingdom.” When Carol (Melissa McBride) is brought into their little setup, she immediately assumes they’re in over their heads. Let me know what you'd like to see on these six extra episodes of season 10 on Twitter.

Where has Maggie been since leaving the Hilltop on season nine.Wouldn't it be great to see the season from her perspective? What challenges has she been facing on her own in order to survive? Has she run into other survivors? Connie has been missing for most of season 10 after a cave-in.There's certainly no shortage of characters they could pluck from. If these episodes are contained within season 10, it could be an opportunity to do deeper character dives and provide backstory to where some other favorites have been all season. One possibility is that we could see more contained story lines surrounding a minimal amount of cast. If new footage is filmed for the extended season, it's difficult to imagine we'd see large groups of the ensemble cast together.
