The countdown to the start of The Walking Dead season 6 is on and the season premiere is not far off. Below is more about this, such as the title, synopsis and a new promo video for episode 1. Right at the beginning, a major time jump awaits us: according to Greg Nicotero, we will first start "in the middle of a heated action scene", before this is then followed by a few flashbacks into the past should be explained step by step.
All in all, the information so far on the season premiere indicates that, like last year in Terminus, we can expect an extremely spectacular start to this new season, with the producers apparently having a lot of fun with it this year, and the viewers with a lot fooling time jumps. The first episode will bear the eloquent title «First Time Again», which has already sparked some speculation among fans. For example, the title could be a reference to the very first episode of The Walking Dead, in which Rick awoke from his coma and met Morgan and his son. Back then, Morgan was still the wild killer who would have no hesitation in shooting every walker he came across, which shocked Rick at first because he thought the first guy was a normal person. Could this distribution of roles have now been reversed?
On the other hand, the "First Time Again" could also be an indication that our group of survivors now has to defend a home again like at the beginning of the apocalypse - with all the means at our disposal. Or "First Time Again" simply means that there could be a repetition of a certain scene, a certain acquaintance, the beginning of a friendship, which in turn reminds us strongly of Rick & Morgan, whose relationship with each other at the beginning of the sixth season is certainly a will become topic. The official synopsis for Episode 1 states: "Season 6 begins with security in Alexandria being shaken by multiple threats. To survive, Alexandrians must catch up with the toughness of our survivors, while many of our group should step back in the willingness to use violence and pragmatism that had become so normal to them. This reversal, however, will not take place easily - let alone without conflict. However, Rick's group is now fighting for more than just survival... Now they are fighting for a home and they will defend it at all costs and against any threat, even if that threat should come from within."
The synopsis also suggests that there is still a long way to go between Rick's steadfast family and the anxious Alexandrians. And yet, there is hope that both "camps" will draw closer together and thus fight side by side in the struggle for their new/old homeland. The producers indicated some time ago that the group will inevitably split into two camps as part of this process of rapprochement, and that Rick will play a decisive role as leader is probably also evident from the promo video. "The world isn't what you thought it was," we hear him say to Morgan right at the beginning of the video, a little later he tells Daryl, "I'm not going to take any more chances. You will (have to) take care of yourself». Given the looming threat posed by the Walkers just outside of Alexandria, Rick will have to make quick and relentless decisions that not everyone in the community is likely to like.
