A character that really stood out to me was Carol. It was interesting to see her teaching little girls how to use knives safely. It seemed like she was being a motherly figure for those kids, but one kid in particular caught my eye when she held Carol's hand. What could be the role of this little girl?
Analysis: This is probably a long shot, but maybe this girl and Carol could have a mother-daughter relationship. We also saw Carol taking the same little girl into some room toward the middle of the trailer. So maybe they could grow closer as season four goes on and develop a close bond.
Apparently, the prison is not getting any safer, so the group may be forced to hit the road. Hershel: "We may be safer outside those walls." Glenn: "We have to go." Daryl: "Sooner or later, we run." We also see Michonne is also seen scanning a map and she points to a place called Macon, which is familiar to some fans of The Walking Dead, including myself. For those of you that don't know, Macon is a town in Georgia featured in The Walking Dead video game. It is home to the main protagonist of the video game, Lee Everett.
Analysis: Let me assure you, that was not put there by accident. This could mean some kind if crossover with the game. We could actually see Lee and Clementine, the little girl that Lee protected throughout the game, in the show. The show is already very different from the comic books, so why not make it that Lee and Clementine are still in Macon? They're both fan favorites in the video game and bringing them in would be a great way to introduce some lovable characters.
Finally, we have the end of the trailer, where we see Daryl, Michonne, Tyreese and Bob hearing a voice on the radio. "Sanctuary... those who arrive, survive." What could this mean?
Analysis: It could be a hint to a new location for the group. Maybe something like a safe zone? Could it be the Alexandria Safe Zone from the comics? I don't think so, but you never know. We'll have to see what direction they go with that.
Other Thoughts
My favorite moment of the entire trailer (beside the fight between Rick and Tyreese) was when Tyreese got surrounded by tons of ravenous walkers, not that I wanted him to die or anything. But Walking Dead comic book fans, do you remember when Tyreese was surrounded by tons of walkers? You remember who came out on top, right? I won't go any further then that.
It also looks like Hershel was able to craft a prosthetic leg in order to remain an asset to the group. I also loved some of the quotes he gave in the trailer, my favorite quote being, "The only thing you can choose is what you're risking it for." It looks we'll be hearing more words of wisdom from Hershel in season four.
Last, but certainly not least, we have Carl, who didn't appear as often as I thought he would in the trailer. But nonetheless, it'll be interesting to see how he acts after killing that boy in the season three finale and after complaining to his father about the new people moving into the prison.
I can't wait for plenty of walker-filled action, piles of zombie gore under spinning tires, poking walkers through the prison fence, Michonne taking zombies heads off with her katana horseback and lots and lots of headshots. Just bring on October 13 already!
