7 Questions We Have After The Walking Dead’s Midseason Premiere

3) When Will Carol Get Into The Thick Of The Action Again?

Speaking of Carol, she yet again only appears briefly in this episode. Despite Rick and other Alexandrians being close by, she doesn’t get to reunite with them. Neither party knew the other was there, of course, but this will hopefully change soon now that Daryl is staying in The Kingdom. Will she get back into the thick of the action again anytime soon though?

Carol’s self-imposed isolation, brought on by a conscience made heavy after all the murders she’s committed in the process of surviving, was an interesting character arc for a time. However, to keep Carol out of the loop for the entirety of the season would be a waste of one of The Walking Dead‘s best and most badass characters. Melissa McBride has promised that Carol will get a bigger role this half-season, but does that mean within the confines of her cosy cottage, or out there in the thick of it?

Both Daryl and Carol have heaps of guilt to deal with – Daryl, of course, blames himself for Glenn’s death – so they could perhaps help each other out of their respective funks and back into the fighting spirit. When exactly this will happen is unknown, at least there’s something interesting on the horizon for the character again.
