The Walking Dead Season 6 Ep. 1 "All that remains" Spoiler

The opening scene of the premiere will be quite intense and terrifying. The episode will start in the middle of a very big scene, so there will be definitely a time jump from last season. But as Greg Nicotero, the director, revealed, The Walking Dead “will play with time in a non-traditional way” in the season premiere. So expect to be surprised and to keep guessing what the hell is happening. The narration of the episode is just amazing.

The community storyline (and what's coming next) has been expected from the comics fans and it’s also a new setting that changes the TV show. Rick and his groups are not on the run anymore, they found the safest place yet to stay, safer place than the farm or the prison. They're now living in houses, all clean up with nice clothes.

But as always in The Walking Dead, the biggest threats come from other people, not from the walkers. There is a huge difference between Rick and his people and the Alexandrians. They never had to survive, they stayed in their houses and they were safe thanks to the walls whereas Rick and his people went through hell to survive. The conflict between their different visions of the new world escalated quickly last season and led to a shocking scene in the finale where Morgan finally arrived in Alexandria, to see Rick executed Pete in front of everyone.

Rick and Morgan have an understanding of each other but clearly they have changed since they last met in season 3. Rick has become colder, he had to as he's the leader of a big group of survivors and he had to face some psychopaths (The Governor, Terminus people); but Morgan has survived all this time by himself, so his perspective about people is different than Rick. Morgan will clearly serve as a new moral compass in the show against Rick this season, and for once Rick might really listen. He respects Morgan.

Both Rick and Morgan lost a lot while having to survive. It has cost them a lot to get to Alexandria. Morgan has a special relationship with Rick, he’s the one who first saved him when Rick didn’t know anything about the new apocalyptic world they’re in now.

Rick and Morgan will both share lot of scenes together in "First Time Again", they have a lot to catch up on and they also have to understand each other now, under those new circumstances. Morgan is always so wise and has pertinent words. He really brings a new dynamic to the show and to Rick.

As revealed at Comic-Con earlier this year, the Season 6 premiere will feature over 650 walkers as part of a massive herd that breaches Alexandria's gates following the events of the Season 5 finale. A large chunk of them are seen in the premiere, and it looks like they'll be lurking around every single corner of the current safe haven. It's going to take an amazing amount of Michonne's sword-slicing and Rick & Co.'s firepower to put an end to this threat before the walkers completely wipe out everything that this community has worked so hard to achieve. Truth be told, we can't wait to see how much damage is done.

Here are some things to watch for… - There will be new images added to the opening sequence. - The "Wolves" / "W" will be mentioned in the premiere. - There will be a new threat coming towards Alexandria. Of course, Rick will do everything he can to protect the community but will the community let him? It will be hard for some of them to trust him after what he pulled in the finale last season. - Baby Judith has grown up! She’s so cute. It's always so nice to watch her with other characters; she brings a softer and more human side to them. - We will find out something quite interesting about the community and how it has managed to survive for so long during the zombies apocalypse. - We will be quite surprised by Maggie in the premiere. She has changed, in a good way. She clearly has a new task and she will handle it brilliantly. Watch out for one of her monologues, it will be one of the best in the premiere.

- The walkers are so definitely more disgusting and scarier this year than before. Time is very cruel on their dead bodies, they all look so awful. It’s even more fun to watch them being killed. - Jessie and Rick will share a meaningful scene. - Every character appears in the premiere except one. - Heath (Corey Hawkins; Straight Outta Compton), a new Alexandrian will be introduced. He’s a supply runner for the community. Let’s hope he won’t end up like all the black guys of the show.

- We also knew Nurse Jackie's Merritt Wever had been cast as an Alexandrian, and EW has the details on her, too. She's playing Dr. Denise Cloyd, who plays a major role in the books as a medic and surgeon.
