The Walking Dead Season 5 Spoilers on Carl

By Andrew Meola | Apr 02, 2014 09:28 AM EDT

The Season 4 finale of The Walking Dead ended with Rick and friends trapped a train car at the mercy of the citizens of Terminus. But Rick ended the season with a pledge that these mysterious new captors don't realize "they're screwing with the wrong people."

Most fans assume the Terminus citizens are cannibals based on the Hunters from the comics, which at this point seems like a safe bet. And while Rick is ready for battle, his son, Carl, also reached a turning point in the Season 4 finale when he had a heart-to-heart with Michonne about the beastly feelings inside of him.

The "Mega Buzz" column at TV Guide explores what's next for Carl via executive producer and comic writer Robert Kirkman:

So Carl is totally going to go crazy on the Walking Dead cannibals next season, right? - Lawrie 
While producers won't confirm that people of Terminus even are the cannibals of the comics - but they totally are, right? - Carl's dire situation will give him the opportunity to see if he truly is the monster he fears he's becoming. 'Carl [is] in a pretty bad position locked in this train car at the mercy of other people, and that could lead to him being tested in other big ways,' executive producer Robert Kirkman says. 'There's a lot of changes left for that kid to go through.'"

What do you think, Walking Dead viewers? Is Carl about to snap and take out some Terminus folks while they're doing laundry, or will he fall apart in the face of this new adversity? Let us know your guesses in the comments below.
