The Walking Dead Season 4 Finale Spoilers: Rick Grimes Will Use a "Surprising" Weapon

UPDATE: Ricktator ownage is coming! Back at Walker Stalker Con, Andrew Lincoln teased that, in Season 4, Rick would use a weapon he'd never used before. Guess what? The time is now. When teasing this Sunday's Episode 16 finale, Andy told The Walker Stalkers, "You're about to get it." He laughed. "Believe me, you're gonna get it." Yessss!
Andy added that a journalist had seen the finale in advance and she was "freaking out, somewhat" by what Rick did. "You and me both, when I read it," he added. "I even made a phone call to [showrunner] Scott Gimple and said 'Scott, really, are we going to do this?' And he said 'Yep.' And I said 'OK, let's do it."
The weapon has to be his own teeth, right? It looks like Rick is going to face down The Marauders in a sequence pretty closely tied to Issue #57 of The Walking Dead comics. In the books, Rick bites a guy’s neck and kills him, then brutally slays one of the bandits for attempting to rape Carl. Get 'em, Daddy!
Original story:
Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) uses his crossbow to kill walkers on The Walking Dead, Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) is partial to the pistol that Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) recently returned to him, and Rick has often bashed the living dead in the head with a rock in order to take them out. Sure, Rick uses his gun too, but since the sound of a gunshot can attract even more walkers, sometimes an the old rock to the head trick mist suffice.
However, Andrew said at Walker Stalker Con in Atlanta this past weekend that his on-screen counterpart will soon be using a new, unique weapon to destroy walkers and other enemies. Although he admits that rocks have “worked out” for him in the past, the new weapon — or should we say death-inducing technique? — is more surprising and effective.
“I’m going to not spoil anything,” Andrew dished. But Rick develops a new technique this season for dispatching people. And it isn’t a gun, it isn’t a knife, it’s something quite different. And I look forward to hearing your reactions, because I was shocked.”
The word technique indicates that Rick’s new way of offing walkers is slightly more involved than just a new weapon, but your guess is as good as ours!
Has Rick created a walker trap, perhaps one that would keep the undead away from the crumbling prison fence? Has he discovered something that poisons walkers, effectively killing them without the use of any weapons at all?
Tell us your own thoughts and theories below!
The Walking Dead airs Sunday nights at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.

The Walking Dead Season 4 Finale Predictions: “None of Them Are Right”

The actors and producers of The Walking Dead are well-aware that fans have been speculating about what happens in the Season 4 finale for months now, and with just hours to go before the March 30th ep the fan theories are only intensifying.
We’ve heard it all, from Beth Greene’s (Emily Kinney) grisly fate (she’s the meal Mary offered everyone when they got to Terminus!) to Bob Stookey’s (Larry Gilliard Jr.) big secret (he’s immune to walker bites!), but apparently one TWD cast member has read “all” of the finale predictions and has yet to come across one that has the correct info.
When asked about the Season 4 finale, “A” Danai Gurira (Michonne) told DigitalSpy.com, “I've read all [the] predictions and none of them are right. No one is going to be able to figure out this ending so it's going to be a really exciting thing to watch people respond to!”
We know Danai said that she’s read all of the finale predictions, but in our opinion that’s a near impossible task. The TWD fanbase is a rabid bunch (in the best way possible) and we bet there are tons of new theories cropping up everyday — there’s just no way Danai can keep up with everything.
We’ve been warned about the “brutality” of Episode 16 for quite some time now, and although that buzz word initially left us fearing for Rick Grimes’ (Andrew Lincoln) life, we’re now wondering if the former cop could actually be the one dishing out these brutal blows. We pretty much know that a face-off between Rick and head marauder Joe (Jeff Kober) is coming but the more we think about it, the more we doubt that Rick is the one we should be worrying about.
In the comics, Rick, Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs), and Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz) venture back to Rick’s hometown and come across a group of bandits who threaten to rape Carl because Rick attempted to fight them. Rick and Abraham manage to fight back and kill the guys, with Rick even biting one of them on the neck. Bitting a dude on the neck is pretty “savage,” right? That’s another word that’s been used to describe the finale.
So there may be some things we don’t know, as Danai suggests, but we like to think that a few of our theories have a place in the Season 4 finale.
Do you doubt all of the fan theories you’ve seen so far, or are some of them bound to be true? Tell us what you think below!
The Walking Dead Season 4 finale airs Sunday, March 30, at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.

Norman Reedus 'The Walking Dead': Posts head popping spoiler for season 4 finale

Norman Reedus, who plays Daryl Dixon on “The Walking Dead,” is keeping his head where it belongs in the spoilers he posted, but those around him aren’t. With fans anxiously awaiting “The Walking Dead” finale of season 4 on Sunday night, Norman Reedus offered up the spoilers in pictures. These bizarre offerings have to do with the cast’s action figures, but something is strange about the way they look.

According to Wet Paint on March 29, it’s apparent that Reedus was just having some fun with the fans, but the first picture on Instagram shows Michonne’s action figure with Tyreese’s head and Tyreese’s action figure with Michonne’s head. He did the same thing to reunited lovers Maggie and Glenn.

What is he saying with all these head shots on the wrong bodies? Tyreese and Glenn look so frail and Maggie and Michonne look just plain scary in these action figure shots. Sunday night’s “The Walking Dead” season 4 finale is simply titled “A.” What that means is anybody’s guess.

'The Walking Dead' spinoff dubbed 'companion' show: All new cast and location.

Rumbling around the social networks put Terminus as a possible haven gone really bad. Suggestions that Terminus is nothing more than a trap with people inside doing unthinkable things to folks who make the trek there are running rampant today.

So far Maggie and Glenn and their crew have made it to the place offering sanctuary, but fans only got to see them going through the front door. Sunday night's finale should give some indication on the dealings of Terminus

The Walking Dead Season 4 Finale Promos, Sneak Peeks: "A" Episode 16 Analysis

Savage. Brutal. Shocking. These are words we’ve been told to keep in mind about The Walking Dead Season 4 finale. Episode 16, “A,” airs this Sunday, March 30 at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.
We’re certainly worried for Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), especially with The Marauders after him, but anyone who messes with The Ricktator should really be worried. Our boy won’t go down without a fight! He’s in for a brawl this week, and so is his buddy Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), who will be caught in the middle, along with the other Team Richonne players, Michonne (Danai Gurira) and Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs). They are foremost in our minds as we watch the promos and sneak peeks for the final hour of this very tense and unusual season.
Here are 10 things we’re taking away from the footage shown so far:


1. Meet Gareth
A great New Zealand promo was released and then deleted on YouTube, but you can still see it here. We finally see the mysterious Gareth (Andrew J. West) we’ve been hearing about. We hear him say "Welcome to Terminus." So maybe he's the leader here? However, it looks like he might have a confrontation with Rick.

2. Rick's Group Arrives at Terminus
And those who arrive ... get shot at. We see Rick, Michonne, and Carl as they are escorted into Terminus, alongside a dark-haired guy, with a woman behind them. So Mary is definitely not alone at this place. At one point, it looks like Rick holds a gun to the dark-haired guy's head in front of Gareth. There are apparently people with guns on the Terminus roof and they shoot at Rick, Michonne, and Carl. Perhaps that's how they keep the peace at this place. Remember, there was a sign in Ep 15 that directed people to lower their weapons. It's not because they're all love and happiness hippies. They have rules, like anywhere else.

3. Joe's Marauders Attack
In the NZ promo, they also show dark scenes (at night or inside) with Joe's group confronting Rick and company. Joe’s voice says “You screwed up, you hear me? You screwed up. … Today’s a day of reckoning, sir” Is Joe talking to Rick both times — since Rick will be the one Tony recognizes as having killed Lou in Episode 11, “Claimed”? Or is some of that for Daryl, since Daryl will probably jump ship from Team Marauders to help his old friends? Carl is seen hiding in what looks like a car during the dark scene, so the marauder guys may be going after him and Michonne too.

4. How Does Daryl Get Hurt?

One shot at the 20-second mark of the U.S. promo, shown in light — not like one of the night/dark scenes — shows Daryl's face. He has a black eye and a cut around his mouth. Is that after a run-in with the Marauders? If so, it at least shows he lived.

5. Michonne Hugs and Holds Carl

In one of the U.S. promos, we see Michonne hug Carl outside in daylight — they appear to be alone, but it could just be for the moment, with Rick nearby. But the NZ promo shows Carl (with blood on his cheek) glaring at someone as Michonne holds him. Is that in response to something happening to them, or to Rick? As Robert Kirkman teased to Entertainment Weekly, "This is Rick Grimes being pushed to his absolute limit," in the finale. "And if you think you’ve seen that before, you haven’t. And the Rick Grimes that comes out of this is really going to shock people.” What if Rick goes to town, brutally slaying all of the Marauders in a way that shocks even Michonne and Carl? Or what if we're shocked by what happens to Rick?

6. Who Are We?

One of the sneak peek videos shows Rick, Carl and Michonne walking in the woods, on their way to Terminus. Carl wants to know what they'll tell people about all the things they've done. Will they tell them the truth? Rick said they'd tell them who they are. "But how do you say that?” Carl asks. “I mean, who are we?" We’re Team Richonne, beyotch! But in that moment, a walker approaches and they prepare to take it down. It's just one walker at this point, so not a big deal. But maybe the Carl question is meant to be referenced again when they confront their own humanity — who are they, and what does it take to get by in his world? That's a key question of the season and maybe it's one Rick will have to face and answer, then live with.

7. Some Guy Is Screaming

In another sneak peek, after Rick gives Carl a lesson in trapping in the woods, they hear a man's voice scream for help. Without pause, Carl runs after the voice. Rick is left to scream "Carl!" and run after him. We don't see how that ends, but the promo shows Carl running and, separately, pointing a gun. Those are daylight scenes. There's also a brief shot at the 22-second mark of what looks like a man being swarmed. Perhaps that is the screaming guy? If not, what the heck is up with that swarm scene?

8. Rick's Haunted Face
In that promo with the creepy echoing voiceover repeating "Terminus," the final shot is Rick appearing to be sitting down, face bloody, looking haunted. Maybe he's reflecting on what he just did — the brutality he dished out in response to what was done to him and his new family. How much more can Rick take?

9. What's With the Candle Room?

The U.S. promo shows a room with candles all over the ground, like they’re in memory of the departed, with the word "ALWAYS" seen on a wall. There could be religious significance to this room, so what if it's tied to the person who took Beth Greene (Emily Kinney)? She was taken in a car with a white cross on the back. What if there's a connection here? We know the person in that funeral home loved to light candles since Beth and Daryl basically used them all up when they re-claimed the place.

10. Where Is Everyone Else?
We don’t see any footage of the people we saw arriving at Terminus in Ep 15: Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun), Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohan), Tara (Alanna Masterson), Bob Stookey (Larry Gilliard Jr.), Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green), Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz),Eugene Porter (Josh McDermitt) and Rosita Espinosa (Christian Serratos). We also don’t see the people we’ve yet to see arrive — Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride), Tyreese (Chad Coleman) and baby Judith. But we also don’t know the timeline here — is Rick’s group actually getting there first or is this in chronological order? There’s a point in the NZ promo where it sounds like Rick whisper-growls, "Where are our people?" He could be saying "We're all people,” but it sounds like he’s asking about the others. Will we see them too? We’re anxious for a Team Prison reunion, with Rick and Carl seeing Judith, Sasha seeing Tyreese, Carol reuniting with Daryl, etc. It would also be nice for Maggie to reunite with Beth, but at this point we’re just hoping for any hint of Beth’s whereabouts at all. A big cliffhanger is coming, but we don’t anything about it.
What are your theories about “A”? What’s the title about? Who will survive? Will Rick, Daryl, Michonne and Carl kill all the Marauders? If so, at what cost? Is Terminus connected to The Hunters or not?

The Walking Dead Season 4 finale airs Sunday, March 30, at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.
