Let’s hope that tonight’s The Walking Dead mid-season 5 finale will be much better than last week’s episode.
It may be a big episode if there’s a death.
Earlier this week we used history to explain that showrunners have used The Walking Dead’s mid-season finales to sometimes kill significant characters. Two out of four of the show’s midpoints have had big deaths – so will the same happen this evening?
A synopsis for episode 8 titled “Coda” suggests that Officer Dawn and her team will not be handing over Carol and Beth lightly. “Rick seeks a peaceful agreement when rules and morals are tossed aside by new enemies,” the synopsis reads.
Last week’s episode of The Walking Dead season 5 was… less than stellar. Essentially nothing important happened except for some setup for tonight’s mid-season finale.
In episode 7, Beth offered Carol some medicine that may or may not save her life, Rick and company decided to head into Atlanta to save their two friends, and Father Gabriel tried to make an escape.
Will Rick be able to talk Dawn into releasing Carol and Beth? Where is Father Gabriel running, and why? Is Morgan going to finally catch up with everyone? Is Eugene going to be okay?
There are many questions that need to be answered tonight, at 9 p.m. eastern/pacific on AMC. Hopefully we’ll learn the answers to all of them.
If you need to catch up on season 5, you’re in luck. AMC will be re-airing all seven episodes starting at 2 p.m. eastern/pacific. It’s the perfect way to remember everything that’s led to this episode, which is sure to pack a punch and leave fans on the edge of their seats until February.
Return to Hypable after The Walking Dead mid-season 5 finale airs for our analysis of everything that happened. Hopefully we’ll have good feelings about what showrunner Scott M. Gimple left us with.
Following tonight’s episode, the show will resume in February.
