"The Walking Dead" fifth season deals with more decision-making tasks and hunting after the Terminus event in the fourth season. It could be recalled that Season 4 ended with an impact as the team ended up trapped in a boxcar by the residents of the Terminus, where Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the rest of the survivors met Glenn (Steven Yeun), Sasha (Sonequa Martin), Bob (Larry Gillard Jr), Tara (Alana Masterson), Abraham (Michael Cudlitz), Maggie (Lauren Cohan), Eugene (Josh McDermitt) and Rosita (Christian Serratos) as captives. After the "they're screwing with the wrong people" line by Rick, many are in question of what may arise in the upcoming season.
Could the impotent, powerless Rick Grimes we came to know in the previous seasons end up pushing himself to his limits? Apparently, Gareth (Andrew J. West) was the reason behind the team being locked up as he threatened to kill Rick's son, Carl (Chandler Riggs). Will we see Gareth on the next season being killed by Carl's father?
Meanwhile, AMC released the full synopsis of the show, of which The Independent UK published. It read:
"What follows is a story that weaves the true motives of the people of Terminus with the hopeful prospect of a cure in Washington, D.C., the fate of the group's lost comrades, as well as new locales, new conflicts, and new obstacles in keeping the group together and staying alive. Stories will break apart and intersect. The characters will find love and hate. Peace and conflict. Contentment and terror. And, in the quest to find a permanent, safe place to call home, one question will haunt them... After all they've seen, all they've done, all they've sacrificed, lost, and held on to no matter what the cost... Who do they become?"
Lincoln earlier said at Comic-Con how he relishes his character's development while filming the upcoming season. He said, as quoted by TVLine, "It feels thrilling to be able to be the leader, a man who is in doubt about his decision-making and what he is capable of doing to keep his family alive. And I get to shoot a lot of guns and throw myself around like a lunatic."
