"The Walking Dead" has taken television by storm for the last five years. In case you have to ask: Yes, I am an avid fan, and, yes, I’d love to discuss it with you – I thought you'd never ask! First thing’s first, let’s do a bit of a recap on what’s going on in the world of walkers.

Most of season five took place in Alexandria, a small neighborhood in Virginia that was untouched by the apocalypse thanks to their ultimate, zombie-safe fence. Alexandria is so iconic because this is the first time that the characters encountered real civilization – complete with a mayor, doctor and architect – since the world ended. After living out in the wild, it was absolutely difficult for the group to get back to being "normal" and not follow the primal instincts that took over their existence.

Season five ended with Rick shooting a father, husband and citizen of Alexandria point-blank in the head, right in front of the whole Alexandria community. But don’t get too upset; the guy was an abuser and a very recent murderer, so maybe Rick’s actions weren’t as horrible as it seemed? Either way, it was an intense moment.

What really made this scene sticky was the appearance of Rick’s old friend, Morgan. Morgan was the first person Rick met after waking from a coma to the zombie apocalypse. Rick has evolved from the most moral and forgiving sheriff, to a ruthless badass who cares about nothing more than keeping his family alive. Needless to say, Rick has changed a lot over the past five seasons.

Season six began soon after Rick’s ordeal, and you see the Alexandrians carrying out a plan to lead a pack of walkers away from their town. Leading such a large group of walkers takes a team, and every member of the team had a job to do. You would think this task would be a piece of cake for seasoned apocalypse experts like Rick and his crew; nevertheless, EVERYONE faced near death that day.

As the members of the Alexandrians started leading the walkers oh so smoothly, a truck horn begins to sound continuously, leading half of the walker pack in the direction of Alexandria. This caused everyone to split up so that they could carry out their mission. Michonne was left in a group where they became surrounded by walkers in an old pet store; however, most of them managed to return to Alexandria safely.

Now for the hard part everyone: Glenn. Glenn was the most efficient, resourceful and trustworthy pizza man that there ever was. Glenn has been one of Rick’s right-hand men since the beginning, and he’s cheated death so many times – until he got surrounded by walkers in an alley with Nicholas, a complete idiot and cowardwhom Glenn tried to reform. Obviously Glenn’s hard work was in vain, for when the going got tough, Nicholas murmured a simple, "Thank you" and splattered his brains out and falling on top of Glenn into an abyss of walkers.

I’m sure that fans all over can agree: This had to be the hardest death in the history of "The Walking Dead." But ... is Glenn truly dead? I ask because there are multiple implications that may point otherwise. For one, Nicholas fell on top of Glenn perpendicularly, and if I’m not mistaken, intestines are not located in the chest. Second, as we watch Glenn get supposedly ripped to shreds, we see blood shoot onto Glenn’s face, but not coming out of his mouth. With all walker deaths we've seen involving getting one’s guts ripped out, there should've most definitely been blood coming from the mouth. And lastly, as the camera pans out from Glenn’s demise, I could’ve sworn I saw an object wiggle under that dumpster. Someone please rewatch that scene so I know I’m not crazy!

I could bring more points in, but that would require me spoiling certain things for those of you that have no idea what happened in the comics.

Meanwhile back at Alexandria, the town is massacred by a floating group of madmen with Ws etched into their foreheads, also known as Wolves. Most of the Wolves are taken out by the effortlessly incognito and, in my opinion, one of the most mentally strong characters, Carol. Let me say this: If it weren’t for Carol taking control and getting the weapons, Alexandria would have fallen. Carol has always been the one who’s willing to do whatever possible to keep their territory safe. Back out in the field, though, Rick was surrounded by walkers in a trailer, after easily killing some of the Wolves that were chased off by Morgan (who refused to kill anyone).

The next episode, "Here’s Not Here," gives an accountance of how Morgan gained his civility again and chose not to kill those Wolves. After being delirious from seeing his wife and child die, Morgan gave himself the job of clearing anything, or anyone, that got in his way. Morgan came across a man that we’ll call "The Cheese Maker." The Cheese Maker kept Morgan and helped him to remember what it’s like to live, as well as providing Morgan with a code which keeps him from taking another’s life.

The overall message that The Cheese Maker gave to Morgan is that life is a never-ending circle, where everything connects and follows through; as a result, here’s not really here. This means that even though Morgan was stuck in a torturous mindset of wanting to die, he’ll eventually find his way back to being content and okay with living. This philosophy could surely apply to the situation with Rick and his family as they fight their primal instincts time and time again after they lose their safe-havens.

Now, we’re ready to talk about this past Sunday’s episode of "The Walking Dead"! "Now" started off with the mayor of Alexandria, Deanna, overlooking her once quiet town after it had been ransacked by the Wolves. As Deanna watches in terror, you hear Rick screaming for them to open the gate. Hundreds of walkers follow Rick as he evades death once more and gets to safety. Now that the town is surrounded by walkers, Rick tells everyone in Alexandria about what happened as the group tried to lead the walkers away. Of course, the Alexandrians start to panic like the sissies they truly are (I’m only half-kidding here).

After letting their possible demise sink in, everyone disperses to get everything in order to protect their home. Meanwhile, Jessie, the wife of the man Rick killed last season – as well as Rick’s new crush – is found in her house going through some difficult stuff. Jessie was forced to kill one of the Wolves after one of them attacked her in her house. Jessie finally knows and understands what it truly means to survive by any means necessary. She eventually tells the town that they either have to fight or die, which is a very accurate revelation. As Jessie begins to bury the woman who she just stabbed to death, Rick stops her and says, "We don’t bury killers within these walls." You immediately realize that the line between killers and those who want to survive is quite thin, and if most of Rick’s crew were to die, they shouldn’t be buried outside of the walls if that was the case.

In the pantry of Alexandria, some of the remaining occupants began to steal food because they were hungry, and their fate was so unsure. The mayor’s son, Spencer, stops the people from stealing food by reminding them that they’re about to travel down a dark road of deception due to survival. Spencer ironically took lots of supplies for himself and proceeded to get drunk with his stolen contraband. Deanna catches him, and he defends what he’s done with saying that he saved everyone from reaching the point of no return; thus, he deserves a bit of the pickings for himself.

Maggie. Poor, poor Maggie. She’s left frantic (and pregnant) waiting for Glenn to either return or to show a sign that he’s alive. There’s been nothing so far. The Alexandrians even proceeded to add Nicholas and Glenn’s name to their memoriam wall. Impatient with waiting for Glenn, Maggie goes looking for him with Aaron, a fellow Alexandrian who met Rick and his crew a little while back. Maggie and Aaron soon realized that it’s impossible to safely leave Alexandria with all of those walkers outside its perimeter. Maggie goes back to the wall with Aaron and erases Glenn’s name from the wall, at least for now.

Lastly, Rick finally kissed Jessie after both were uneasy about everyone’s future. Sasha, Abraham, Daryl and Glenn are still missing. Nobody knows if they’ll return or not; yet, they are all going to have to accept what happens. Rick’s last words: "This is what life looks like now."
