Season 4 Death Predictions

It's never too early to predict deaths for season four of The Walking Dead, even if it is six months away. 

One of the most fun things about The Walking Dead is predicting who is going to die next.  I'm going to give my thoughts on who is going to survive this season and who is going to die. 

Right off the bat, I think its almost a lock that the Governor will die next season.  It's getting to the point where some viewers are getting tired of seeing him on the show and just want him dead.  After what he did in the season three finale, I definitely want to see him die as well.  I think Daryl, Rick or Karen, the one who hid behind the dead body, are all candidates for who kills the Governor. 

I thought we would see the Governor's death in the season three finale, but I think keeping him alive isn't so bad either.  I think we'll get to see more villains in season four and maybe introduce some new characters because the season is 16 episodes, so they have a lot of room for character development.  I also think we'll see multiple storylines with Rick's group along with the storyline of the Governor, Martinez and Shumpert.  I think all three of them will die, along with whoever else the Governor adds to his group. 

Now, onto Rick's group.  I think Rick and Carl obviously has to live at this point, and I will be doing a future post on Carl's character for next season and whether he'll kill any more innocent people like he did in the finale.  You could injure Carl like he is in the comic books, but I don't think he needs to die.

I'm surprised Carol is still alive at this point and I think she has to die at some point in season four.  Beth, on the other hand, might be filling the role of Sophia in the comic books because Sophia is still alive in the comic book series.  She could be a potential character for Carl to have as a friend, so I could understand if she is still alive by the end of this season.  Although, I'm of the mindset that she will die this upcoming season as well.

If Daryl dies, we riot. End of story.

Karen, a new character from Woodbury, could die, but it would be nice if she killed the Governor after what she saw him do to all those people in the finale.  Tyreese could be killed, but he just joined up with Rick's group, so I think he'll survive at least for this season and die possibly in season five because we haven't really gotten to know him yet.

I think Hershel is filling in the role of  Dale in the comic book series, so I think he could die, but I think he'll stick around until season five or six.  I think Glenn and Maggie are safe, although I think the lovey-dovey scenes between them are starting to get annoying for me anyway.  I guess you kind of have to have those scenes to offset all the action and the drama, but its getting annoying and I wouldn't rule out the possibility of either one of them dying this season.

I don't know if Morgan is going to return to the group this season.  I could see him not returning at all or possibly seeing the Governor run into him, which would be very interesting.  But I don't think we'll see Morgan return this season, although it would be great of they did it.  I think Michonne has to live, no question about it.  I think Sasha, who is Tyreese's sister, is guaranteed to die at some point in season four.  All the people that came from Woodbury are basically goners when next season comes around. 

So my list of people dying in season four goes like this: the Governor, Martinez, Shumpert, Carol, Beth, Sasha and the rest of elderly and children that came from Woodbury are goners.  I don't think they should kill too many characters because then there wouldn't be enough people for character development and all that stuff.  I think we could be introduced to Abraham, another comic book series character, later in season four.

I'll probably be coming out with a thorough review of season three probably later today or tomorrow, and same goes for my post on Carl's character development for next season.  Don't go away zombiephiles.
