Based on the Comic-Con trailer for season four, there may be a possibility that a new character played by Lawrence Gilliard Jr., Bob Stookey, may be a traitor.
We know that he is a series regular, which means he's going to have a lot of parts in season four. I think we'll see him a lot in season four, but I don't think he'll make it to season five or six. I think he'll be a character like Merle, who was re-introduced in season three and died in the same season.
In the comic book series, there is a part where the Governor has one of his men infiltrate Rick's group at the prison. He would then run back to the Governor and tell him about the location of the prison. But since the television series has been changed around to not follow the exact same storyline, it would be the perfect time to insert this storyline next season.
With the prison group clueless about the Governor's whereabouts, it would make perfect sense for him to have someone infiltrate the group. It can't be Martinez or Shumpert that does this because the prison group already knows who both of them are. So it would make sense that the traitor would have to be Bob.
In the comic book series, Bob Stookey is a drunk in Woodbury who is a former army medic. He was such a drunk that he became a detriment to Woodbury, until he was needed to patch up the Governor and he did. In the television series, he will actually be a part of Rick's group as we saw in the trailer. I think Bob Stookey will fill the role of Martinez from the comic book series in season four.
As a traitor, he would basically help the Governor attack the prison and relay information back to him because he does seem strange in some of his actions. Toward the middle of the trailer, Bob says, "I'd like to start pulling my weight around here. Let me earn my keep." The way he says this is so overly jolly and too nice for a zombie apocalypse.
A couple of seconds later, we also see Bob's hand shaking and it looks like it has blood on it. Obviously, something happened for the blood to get on his hand. Maybe he killed someone and he realizes what he did shortly after or something like that. He could just be killing zombies and he notices blood on his hand.
That's all I can really say about the character for now. We know that someone attacked the cell block, twelve people died and two were killed in cold blood, which means that the group knows that someone from inside the prison murdered two other people. Maybe Bob has something to do with that, which could explain the blood his hand. Maybe he's the one feeding all of those zombies outside of the prison that are trying to push the fence down. We'll just have to wait and find out.
Tell me what you think about Bob Stookey as a character. Will he fill the role of Martinez from the comic books? Is he a traitor? Let me know what you guys think in the comments below.

Season 4 - Analyzing the Comic-Con Trailer + Predictions (PART 2)
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!

Season 4 - Analyzing the Comic-Con Trailer + Predictions (PART 1)
If you haven't seen the trailer for season four of The Walking Dead, I highly recommend watching it before reading any further!
"We just lost 12 of our own. Two were killed in cold blood."
They even tell us in the trailer how many people are going to die in season four, but there will probably be even more deaths then that.
AMC finally released an extended trailer for the upcoming season and we can make a lot of predictions just from watching this 4.5 minute video. I've already watched it 18 times, so I have a lot of predictions and thoughts about season four.
Let's start with the raid on the "Big Spot" department store. It looks like the prison group have gotten used to scavenging for food. They even have their own formations and armor for protection.
Analysis: One thing that bothered me was seeing Sasha give orders to others. She's only alive because of Tyreese and I just can't imagine Daryl or Michonne taking orders from someone like that. So I already don't like Sasha. We also see the first appearance of new character Bob Stookey, and we see a lot of him throughout the trailer. There's also some yelling and gunfire in the Big Spot, so maybe this new character won't be around for very long.
Next, we see the prison, which has transformed into a farm with crops and even animals. I saw some pigs, which are probably used for meat. The group also made a new gate and it looks like Rick took a page out of Morgan's book with the sharp wooden beams surrounding the entrance. Later in the trailer, we also see some sharp weapons hanging on the fence, ready for action at any time.
Analysis: What's not to love about seeing Michonne on a horse? I'm actually really impressed about the prison and how it looks in the trailer. Looks like they're using the same tactics as last season when it comes to killing walkers on the outside. But as we find out from Carol, the zombies are starting to come in bigger groups. She says to Daryl, "It's manageable, but unless we get ahead of it, not for long."
The violence came very early on in comic book series, and it looks like a version of this violence will be coming to the television show. Walkers are seen attacking cell block D, which looks like the home of many new people in the prison. Rick says after the attack, "Somebody attacked the cell block." Tyreese notes at another point, "We've got to find who did this." Rick responds, "We're not going anywhere, we'll find them." Hershel: "We just lost 12 of our own. Two of them were killed in cold blood."
Analysis: Who could possibly be behind this? It could be the Governor because he's familiar with the prison and will be a season regular. But based on quotes from other characters, specifically Hershel, I have a feeling that this attack came from within the prison. Could it be one of the people from Woodbury, or could it be someone from the main cast? Don't be surprised if it ends up being Carl who does this. Think about it. Carl was pissed about having all the new people move in because they won't be able to defend themselves. Thus, he lures the walkers into the prison and eliminates the people in cell block D.
"You got to calm down." A big part in the comic book series was the fight between Rick and Tyreese, and it looks like we got a little preview of that in the trailer. It looks like Tyreese had Daryl pinned against a wall and then started a fight with Rick. But why did Tyreese start the fight?
Analysis: Tyreese won in the comic book series, but towards the end of the trailer, we see that his eye is swollen. This leads me to believe that Rick will win the fight in the television series. To answer the question of why he started the fight, we did see him looking down at something about halfway through the trailer. He looked to be getting emotional, which makes me think that someone very close to him died, most likely Sasha, his sister.
