Season 4 - What is Tyreese looking at in the trailer?

I hope everyone has seen the Comic-Con trailer regarding season four of The Walking Dead.  If not, here it is:

In the trailer, at exactly 2:13, we see Tyreese looking at something, and he looks a mix between shocked and emotional.

At around two minutes, we see Tyreese walking out to a section of the prison where Rick chased after Andrew last season after he killed Tomas.  There are also two gas containers nearby.  Then at 2:13 in the trailer, Tyreese seems to discover something.  We also see Tyreese pushing Daryl up against a wall later in the trailer and then turning around and punching Rick.

There's a few different possibilities as to what Tyreese could have seen.  I think what he sees has something to do with his fight with Rick.  He also says, "We have to find who did this."  He's referring to the cell block being attacked by someone on the inside, and that sounds personal.

Having said all that, I think that Tyreese gets emotional after coming across his sister, Sasha, who is dying right in front of him.  There's also a scene in the trailer with her where it looks like Sasha is on the ground and her hand is pressed against the camera (3:51).  Tyreese also comes across a blood trail that leads to a place with light (2:00), so maybe Sasha was bleeding and crawled outside and then he finds her dead.

It also seems like they're setting Sasha up to be bossy in the beginning like at the Big Spot in the trailer when she's giving orders.  From what I've seen of her so far, I don't really care for her that much and I don't like her giving orders to others.  So maybe that's where they're going, but that seems a bit predictable and as a result, they may just go in a whole different direction to make it more surprising.

It could just be some random kids because if you see a kid being mutilated or eaten alive, Tyreese could garner that reaction that we see in the trailer.  There's probably something that I haven't thought of or maybe another character could be in that spot, but judging by the emotional response of Tyreese, I think my theory with Sasha makes the most sense.

Tell me what you guys think Tyreese sees.  Who/What do you think he stumbles upon? What are the circumstances? If you think it's a certain person or you have your own theory, tell me what it is and explain 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. 

PART 2 IS ON THE WAY...
