Most people have heard of Dead, the widely successful spin-off of The Walking Dead, and it doesn't surprise fans any less than its predecessor. Characters like Morgan Jones have made a crossover from the one series to the next and their background stories were widely expanded. Of course, this has led to fans speculating endlessly about their protagonists' fate and what is yet to be shown to audiences.
Currently airing its sixth season, the show is performing better than ever, as the latest aired episodes have some of the highest ratings for the series so far. Diehard fans of this TV show have some things to say about their theories on what's to come and what was left unexplained, so far.
Morgan Is A True Villain At Last
At the end of the fifth season, Morgan is on the verge of death and the gangrene from his rotting wound doesn't even appeal to the dead, as he es by them like he's wearing Walker guts.
While this character hasn't been every fan's cup of tea in recent seasons, mostly due to an apparent inconsistency of behaviors and character traits, people now believe that in this sixth season, Morgan will finally become a true villain. There's been a lot of speculation that writers will follow this direction, as fans see him killing a potentially new strong villain (Emile) in the first episode.
Al And Aaron Could Be Related
One fan shared a theory that these characters may be from the same family. Al mentioned to Dwight that she used to collect number plates with her brother, and in The Walking Dead, Aaron was known to also collect number plates.
Even though Al has said she has a brother named Jesse, that doesn't exclude the possibility that she had or has one more sibling and some say that this connection would be a very interesting storyline for these characters. The plate collection could be something that she and Aaron did together.
Morgan's Immunity (And Others) May Still Be A Thing
zombie virus is a possibility in the realm of fiction. This may seem unlikely and an example of some "wishful thinking," but it's not entirely hard to believe. Way back in season one of The Walking Dead, Dr. Jenner said this type of virus is definitely something that could be extinct in the future. Morgan's physical situation may have also brought up a scenario where people exposed to it may not have been infected.
There was a time when a strain of the flu was the biggest concern for the gang, where this infection swept through the prison killing dozens, wiping out at least one other community before finally being treated. Many people contracted the virus, but there were also plenty of people who were exposed to it who didn’t get infected.
The Beer Fever Is Real
Fan theories are all about finding the little details and dissecting them to find their hidden meaning. Some are saying that the TV show has a weird obsession with referencing beer throughout the episodes (always in bottles, never in cans).
If viewers think about it, there are plenty of cases where beer is involved. Beer is the reason why some characters got to live during season 4, after taking poison. There was even a character who had a brewery. One can only wonder why the characters never find whiskey, vodka, tequila or some other kind of liquor.
The Dwight And Sherry Reunion Could Have Been Done The Right Way
Reuniting lost lovers in any TV series or movie is always charged with anticipation on the viewer's end. Nobody was expecting to see this in episode 3 of season 6, but Dwight hears Sherry on a walkie talkie and the two reunite. This was wonderful and a moment of pure hope. However, not everyone enjoyed the way this was done.
Some say that this communication done through walkie talkies raises a bunch of questions, like how are there charged batteries that can power the equipment? How likely would it be that Dwight and Sherry would both find themselves in the middle of nowhere in Texas? But what seems to trigger fans the most is the boring way of how they met, when there could have been a million other more adventurous, conflicted and intense ways to do it.
Sherry Could Be Part Of A Villain Group
Some fans speculate that Sherry's sudden appearance (in the third episode of season 6) is going to build up to the point where viewers will see that she now is loyal or a part of a villain group.
With so many plot twists and knowing that "good times" can't last forever in this kind of TV series, there are fans who believe Sherry came to destabilize things even more, especially when it comes to her relationship with Dwight.
The Zombie Apocalypse: Three, Four, Or Five Years Into It
Although there is no set time frame of exactly how long ago the zombie apocalypse started in Fear The Walking Dead, the internet has gone above and beyond in of theories around the number of years. The majority seem to agree that this new world that the characters are living in has been for around three years (considering the beginning storyline that occurred on The Walking Dead, too).
But if one pays attention to certain details within the show, there have been several references to dates. During the second season of FTWD, in the "Date Of Death" episode, it was confirmed that the year of the outbreak was 2010, which was the year the main series was also released. Through a series of other calculations, many say that by season 5, it is October 2013.
Killing Madison Was The Worst Mistake
Many viewers and opinion makers have stated that the death of Madison was not only very sad, but also extremely disappointing. Madison was a part of the show from season 1 to 4 and she was, undeniably, one of the most solid characters on the show.
Many would love to see Madison back on the show, as they would love to see a return to the core of this particular character and what was being built up to for her, originally.
The Western Theme Stands Apart From The Walking Dead
Brace yourselves: the Western theme is here to stay when it comes to the tone and scope of season 6. While this TV series has played with Western elements before, now it's more evident than ever. There has also been speculation that this theme is a clear intention to separate FTWD from its predecessor, The Walking Dead.
Fans have seen this vibe with characters like John Dorrie and, most recently, with the entry of Virginia and her horse-riding, cowboy-hat wearing posse. Already considered the strongest season yet, fans can't wait to see what wild, wild Western plots are in store for them to watch.
It Is The Key That Will Wipe Out The World
A theory from a fan suggests that the key that a "submarine group of people" are looking for (and that Morgan has been keeping after killing the bounty hunter Emile, who was hired to get this little object) is for the submarine's launch strike/code. The plan to wipe out the world by firing nuclear missiles from the submarine may be a plausible theory.
Considering that "the end is the beginning" was the punch of the first episode of the sixth season, and a written message in a scene, this is believed to be the big plan from this group. This could also be why they were looking for the key (in episode 4 of season 6). Not only that, some say that this class of submarines is usually equipped with nuclear weapons, but so there can be no mistake, two keys are required to launch the missiles. So, one of these keys could very well be in the hands of Morgan.
