With eight episodes left to go, "The Walking Dead" still has over 30 main characters. Surely, they all won't make it to the end, especially with a breed of variant walkers who — if we're to believe Aaron — can apparently climb walls and open doors.
I've already taken a look at who's the most and least likely to get killed off of the show by November's series finale, but that's not who I think the series should take the ax to before its end.
As much as I want the show to shock with some big deaths, I'm not convinced it will. Since Glenn's death on the season seven premiere, the show has largely leaned into killing off secondary or tertiary characters to keep the main group intact.
In doing so, the show has become almost predictable in who it decides to kill off.
But the show should take some big swings in its final episodes. If we don't have time to showcase every character and flesh their story out, it's OK to kill them off.
There are plenty of folks who have overstayed their welcome and haven't served a purpose for a while. There are others whose deaths would be impactful and deliver an element of surprise that's been missing for a while.
If I had my way, here's who wouldn't make it through the last batch of episodes alive.
