[Show spoiler]I don't see how. Joe and his group are not The Hunters. Carl arrives at Terminus, which is run by The Hunters (or the television equivalent with Gareth as their leader), with Rick, Daryl, and Michonne & they all arrive after their run-in with Joe's group.

Joe's group will "claim" Carl and Rick will lay waste to them. Judging from the international previews for the finale, he's going to chew out one of their necks just like in the comic.

[Show spoiler]Well Joe's group aren't the hunters. That spoiler could still happen just with another group.

That's what I said.

It won't.

[Show spoiler]I'm pretty sure pictures he's talking about are of one of Joe's group kissing Carl's cheek and holding a knife to him. Rick's group all arrive at Terminus afterward and are involved in a firefight before being talked down by Gareth & being led into the compound. There are no indications that Carl is ever kidnapped and that's the last storyline this show needs after Sophia & Beth.

Oh okay. Thanks for the clarification.

Here's the New Zealand promo. Lots of things that weren't revealed in the U.S. trailer.

If you look closely at the 0.05 mark you can see at least 3 unknown characters (including a female) walking into Terminus with Rick, Carl & Michonne. My guess is that these unknown people are the Hunters and not the group with Darryl.

Shiiiiit is going to get serious Sunday. Can't wait!!!

One of the characters' names is Gareth.

Which is one of the things I find utterly infuriating about this show and will attribute to AMC's cost-cutting. Namely, we get episodes and episodes of the equivalent of cricket music, and then wham, bam, let's cram all the action into one or two mid-/end-season episodes.

AMC Has Secretly Been Warning Us 'Breaking Bad' Is 'The Walking Dead' Prequel

Guys, what if Blue Sky is responsible for the zombie outbreak?

What if the universe inhabited by Walter White and Jesse Pinkman was the same one the cast of 'The Walking Dead' is trying to navigate? It's the kind of question that seems ripe for a speculative fiction but AMC has been quietly stitching these two worlds into one for years. Of course some would argue these are merely Easter Eggs — nods to fellow shows on the same network. But how many times can you hide clues in a show before it goes from a hat tip to a dire warning?

It all started innocently enough. Way back in Season 2. In the second episode 'Bloodletting' we learn from Daryl that his brother was a drug dealer before the walkers came. Taking out a plastic bag with Merle's stash to bring down T-Dog's fever, viewers can clearly see Blue Sky just laying in the bottom of the bag.

No big deal right? Just a little wink-wink between shows. But it's enough to push folks to dig a little deeper into past episodes. All the way back to the second episode of Season 1. Doesn't that Dodge Challenger Glenn steals look a little familiar to 'Breaking Bad' fans? It should.

In fact, according to this scene from Season 4, Episode 7 of 'Breaking Bad' Glenn was the one who had to deal with Walt's temper tantrum and subsequent arson of the car. Looks like Glenn was able to fix it up and get out of New Mexico.

But the most recent piece of evidence came once again from Daryl. During Episode 12 of the current season, Daryl opens up to Beth about Merle's supplier. Who sounds exactly like Jesse Pinkman.

Piecing it together, it appears the zombies started out west and moved towards the coast of Georgia is people as far away as New Mexico were flee in the scene. Knowing Glenn from a previous encounter, perhaps Pinkman forced him to drive cross-country to escape, heading towards the most dangerous redneck dealer Pinkman knew…Merle. One might even go so far as to wonder if Blue Sky had some sort of hand in this epidemic. Thanks for nothing, Heisenberg!

Wow.

[DanTheMan]

Unless

[Show spoiler]Merle and Darryl went out on a road trip out west, how could they have gotten drugs from Pinkman, who is all the way out in New Mexico

?

And

[Show spoiler]Glenn just "happened" to be in New Mexico too

? Seriously?

Or when something good only happens in the last 5 minutes.

Agreed. The Breaking Bad prequel idea is funny, but it doesn't make any sense when you think about it. How exactly would Glenn have been in New Mexico to get the car?

If I remember correctly, Walt destroys the car as well.

I'm actually going to stay up late tonight to watch this.

[Show spoiler]So excited to see what happens to the Terminus witch craft lady, I mean, that is really what she is. I got a voodoo vibe from her. Anyone wonder what kind of meat she was BBQ'iing?

Excited!
