"it was the two big reveals in the final moments – the potential introduction of Negan and the reintroduction of Morgan (Lennie James)....

The speculation of Negan’s potential introduction comes on the heels of “The Strain” actor Kevin Durand allegedly telling reporters that he was “approached” to play the comic book character.

“Walking Dead” showrunner Scott Gimple and executive producer Greg Nicotero didn’t address the Negan speculation on “The Talking Dead,” however Gimple did tease that fans can look forward to “new threats” in the upcoming episodes.

Unfortunately Robert Kirkman shot the fan speculation down on Twitter. "That was NOT Negan at the end of the episode," he tweeted. "Note the face tattoos."

Kirkman's "face tattoo" comment is a reference to one of the men that was held captive in a separate train car. Glenn wanted to set the people in the train car free – despite Rick just wanting to kill the Termites and let their group out. Glenn opened up a train car and a man with face tattoos came busting out. The tattooed man was screaming that they were "the same" … before a walker attacked him.

It was that tattooed man who had raped Mary and the other women at Terminus before Gareth’s people managed to take over again.

While Negan may not be part of Season 5 yet, Morgan definitely is. The character, who was last seen acting crazy in the "Clear" episode in Season 3, was shown after the credits aired. He looked at the Terminus sign that Rick had altered before following a different sign into the woods -- a circle with an "X" carved into trees."

I don't pay as much attention how different seasons tie in together but enjoy TWD.

The season 5 opener was awesome and lived up to expectations, can't wait til Sunday!

Glad to see Morgan returning and Carol rejoining the group. Beth is still out there somewhere too.

This season promises to equal or exceed the first season. I stopped watching when the Governor and his ilk stepped into the picture. I felt the writing slipped badly with that series of plot lines. I also hated it when Andrea and the old guy who owned the farm with the two daughters got nipped off....

But I'm very heartened by the enduring roll of the kid (Carl?) as he grows into manhood and is given more responsibility, especially the fact that he is trusted with a firearm and even a suppressor. He so far has not only been very responsible in his judicious use of the Beretta but he has also shown to be pretty tactically proficient. This ought to drive the antigun crowd NUCKING FUTS!

Maybe someone can post as a img. This (FR) is the only website on earth that isn’t image friendly.

What is the thought on the symbol that Morgan followed? I do not remember Rick ever carving a symbol in the trees. With his current frame of mind, I do not see it plausible at all that he would let anyone in the group mark their path in case the people from Sanctuary follow them.

In the Talking Dead they said that the guy with the tattoos was the same guy who had been raping Mary. I kind of thought he might be Negan, too, but apparently not.

An industry insider let slip at dinner the other day — crossbow guy will get bit. He’s gone by the end of the season.

It was a good episode. However, is it not absurd to the point of stupidity that they continually fire automatic rifles in full auto mode? Considering they must execute a head shot to kill a walker, then it makes it even more ridiculous they they don’t set their rifles to the semi auto setting.

I guess it’s done for dramatic effect.

Curious how the opening was so similar to what Obamas heroes ISIS has been doing, you know lining them and executing them one by one and the knife across the throat.
