The Walking Dead is a show built on suspense and surprises. For every season break cliffhanger, there's a herd of Walkers ready to burst into frame. While we now know that Glenn and Abraham are Negan's victims, the show still has plenty of mysteries to unspool.
We know that the Saviors are our newest opponent for Rick, and that Negan is the most formidable opponent yet. We're not yet sure what Carol's fate is, or how the survivors will cope with being tossed from yet another frying pan into yet another fire. We know that this is a show built on hopelessness, but is this the year some civilization begins to form?
Most importantly, the colonies of the living and their relationships to each other are constantly balanced on a razor's edge.
Here, we'll collect the best theories about The Walking Dead. Check back weekly to see what your fellow fans are predicting.
This theory posits that Daryl might be the next survivor to bite it on The Walking Dead. He's given an interview to EW that made it seem like he would follow Glenn into death. Not only that, but fans have long speculated that this season would mean Daryl's end. Still, we're not buying this one.

Breaking Bad Is A The Walking Dead Prequel
As far as theories go, this falls into the rubric of " Malcolm in the Middle, Seinfeld, and Breaking Bad all take place in the same universe." You know, insane. Absent any real evidence of an ur-Cranston, this theory relies on the durability of Jessie Pinkman between shows. Basically it all boils down to someone saying his profane catchphrase a lot. Kind of thin.

If someone saw a Donald Trump walker, they weren't alone. This theory posits that there was a political zombie shambolically lurching forward, turning anyone he met into a fellow wraith and dedicated to depriving people of life and dignity. Also, supposedly an extra looked like Donald Trump. Wild.
