(SPOILER) After the anticipating Episode 5 of The Walking Dead‘s Season 6, we have been so anxious to learn whether Glenn did actually get torn up by that zombie. Many TWD fans are also bursting at the seams of anticipation for the next episode.

Glenn has continuously risked his life for the safety of his group.

Although the members of the group are clearly not his blood relatives, Glenn has taken on the mentality that they are. He takes care of them, protects them, and shows undying loyalty.

5) In the middle of death, blood, and human’s being eaten, he brings us THIS
