![]() It is not until Maggie that he seems to start taking the world as seriously as it demands to be considered… what with walkers and all. For the better part of seasons 1-3, Glenn is flitting and fearless. The world of TWD is one big game to Glenn, but because of his quick thinking, dexterity, and ability to distance himself from the grave reality of most situations, he comes out on top (and alive). It is not until they are on the farm and Maggie, not yet his wife, gets angry at him for constantly allowing himself to be put in danger for others. Glenn is selfless to the point that he actually does not consider himself in any given situation. You don’t know what you got till it’s seemingly gone, and all of this false death clouding makes me want to tell the world (and Steven Yeun, thanks for being such a phenomenal actor) why Glenn is easily TWD’s best character. It made me think back to last season when my ex and I would literally grip the arms of our chairs and yell in protest when it looked like Glenn was about to bite it. ![]() I admit openly that I yelled aloud upon watching the gruesome scene that made me believe Glenn was in fact getting eaten alive. Not to say that Glenn won’t die soon or eventually (I will keep this article in reference to the show and NOT the comics), but as of right now my firm belief is that Glenn is alive. Clearly Nicholas fell on top of Glenn making it appear that Glenn was getting eaten. Glenn (and the rest of them) manage to walk away mostly unscathed.Glenn is most definitely NOT dead, contrary to the hysteria rampant on the inter-webs after this Sunday’s episode of The Walking Dead (10/25). Season 5: The Bus CrashĪbraham recruits Glenn and Maggie to his cause, but their D.C.-bound bus crashes after the group drives away from the church. Lined up and ready to be butchered by the Terminus cannibals, Glenn comes within inches (literally) of death-saved only when the banal administrative work of murdering survivors for food interrupts. Seems pretty certain they’re both goners-until his wife and the rest of the gang appear to take out the walkers. Still desperately seeking Maggie, Glenn finds himself swarmed in a caved-in tunnel with Tara. When the Governor blasts the prison apart and sends our survivors scattering, Glenn finds himself still flu-ridden but in possession of enough armor to push through a crowd of hungry walkers before he finds Tara and starts his mission to reunite with Maggie. And wouldn’t it have been woefullt unfair to succumb to sickness after escaping the zombie plague and its subsequent monsters? Fortunately, Hershel and Maggie are able to intubate and resuscitate the blood-choking Glenn. When the disgusting disease swept through the prison’s otherwise peaceful walls, Glenn got the worst of it. But before the triggers are pulled, our band of survivors sails in to rescue them with smoke grenades and heavy artillery. Those chair heroics are short lived once the Woodbury crew drags Glenn and Maggie to their knees to be executed. The kidnapped (again) and tortured Glenn refuses to give up the goods on the group’s new prison, and ends up battling a walker thrown at him by Merle. But wait! Turned out he was totally fine, just frozen in terror after the close call. While sneaking out the back, Glenn collapses behind a dumpster after a hail of bullets with only a sneaker visible, Hershel fears all is lost for his daughter’s new boyfriend. When Glenn and Rick head to town to retrieve an off-the-wagon Hershel at the local bar, an encounter with another group leads to a lot of gunfire. Fortunately, the group hauled him out before he became a pool snack (though despite the terror, he still managed to rope the walker as planned.) Season 2: The Bar Shootout ![]() But he got more than he bargained for when the water-pipe support snapped and sent him plummeting into the soggy monster’s clutches. So when someone had to be lowered into the well to help fish out a water-logged walker, he was the one to take the risk. Season 2: The WellĪfter arriving at the Greene’s farm, Glenn was still just the skinny kid carrying peaches and making trips to the town drug store for Lori’s lotion. Glenn made it through that first, brief season with barely a scratch. Getting kidnapped by gangsters who turned out to be nursing home staff? Sure thing. Returning to help save Merle and making the run for the dropped bag of guns? Check. Coating himself in guts and shuffling with the herd to get the truck that’ll get them to safety? Check. As the best scavenger of the initial group of survivors outside Atlanta, Glenn proves his mettle by taking the big risks when the group’s department store trip is interrupted by the appearance of Rick Grimes and a swarm of undead city-dwellers. ![]()
