Last season,
chapter 12 was really tense and exciting. The best way to do that is to put
characters at risk. And there is no better way to emphasise that there is a serious threat to the characters by having some deaths.
This season, we have had one named/important character death (
Pippin) . If we don't see any soon, it could end up that threats will become less interesting, and we'll just see threats like
the mallers and the zombies, as less significant.
I think that an obligatory cast cull won't be noticed if the scene is made exciting enough. There are only 4 seasons planned, so if a couple of characters die here, a couple next time, and then literally anything could happen when it all ends. As long as we can find some new, interesting characters along the way to keep us interested, then think it could work.
Thats what I think anyway.
