Page 2: ‘The Walking’ Dead season 5: Character death odds
Maggie — 6/10
With her sister’s life being snatched away from her clutches in the mid-season finale, Maggie is going to have a lot of demons to deal with when the show returns. And one of the challenges facing her may be her own death. The character hasn’t been up to much for the last couple of seasons, and unless Maggie’s death has some profound impact on her, we can’t see her story going much further.
Sasha — 6/10
Sasha endeared herself to a lot of viewers with the way she handled Bob’s death last year, but other than his death, she hasn’t really been up to much. This means she’s sort of disposable, and could easily be the victim of a mass character cull at some point. We hope she sticks around, because she’s a great character played subtly, but as we all know, this only makes her a better candidate for death.
Abraham — 6/10
Abraham is in a troubled place right now, and since Eugene’s deception was revealed, he’s been plagued by doubts about his purpose in life. Hopefully, he’ll be able to discover a renewed sense of importance, but he’s just as likely to take his own life — especially if the other characters’ fates go the way we expect them to.
Tara — 7/10
Unfortunately, Tara is another one of the group’s disposables. There isn’t too much to her character, and what we have seen has been brief and rare. It would be great to see her develop into a valued member of the group, but her lack of depth makes her easy pickings for a cheap shock.
Gabriel — 8/10
Gabriel is a mysterious character, and we can’t help but feel there’s still plenty of skeletons waiting to leap out his closet. However, despite his mystery status, he’s also seen a distinct lack of development, and so he joins the unfortunate group of disposables who could get the chop at any moment.
Eugene — 7/10
After Eugene confessed he wasn’t a scientist, and wouldn’t be able to develop a cure for the infection, he sealed his own fate. His lies led the group down a dark and dangerous path that left them scattered and vulnerable — and he will almost certainly atone for the trouble he caused by sacrificing his life for the others.
Glenn — 9/10
This one hurts the most, but Glenn really hasn’t been up to much since he climbed into the prison watchtower with Maggie. His unstoppable optimism made him a firm favorite in the first few seasons, but he hasn’t really brought much to the table in recent years. If this season’s big death is going to be a real shocker, it would make sense for it to be an important character. And of the five The Walking Dead originals still alive, Glenn has the least to offer. Sorry, buddy.
Rosita — 10/10
Unfortunately, Rosita seems to offer very little except eye candy. She’s not just one of the disposables, she’s cannon fodder, and every episode she stays alive during this series will be another miracle.
