The Walking Dead Season 5 Spoilers: Who Takes Center Stage in Premiere?

The Season 4 finale of The Walking Dead locked the survivors we have followed for four years in a train car in Terminus, with seemingly no way to escape. But of course, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the rest will get out somehow. The question, though, is how?

The "Spoiler Chat" column at E! Online does not reveal that news, but it does hint at something else in the Season 5 premiere.

"Vance: I need to know this: How do they get out of the train car in Terminus in The Walking Dead? Just tell me that and I'll never ask for anything again.
Well, you'll be able to ask for something again because we can't tell you that. What we can tell you is this: Carol is so awesome in this episode."

Carol (Melissa McBride) and Tyreese (Chad Coleman) are not with the group in the train car, but they are headed straight for Terminus. So perhaps they free their friends and spark a battle with the Terminus residents?

In related news, the "Mega Buzz" column at TV Guide reports on the tone of the first episode of Season 5. "This season certainly doesn't waste any time getting into the action! Look for a very bloody first episode that offers some quick answers about the people of Terminus. Remember when executive producer Robert Kirkman told us that Terminus leader Gareth was not the season's major villain? That doesn't mean he isn't sufficiently creepy!"

Why do you think Carol is "so awesome" in the Season 5 premiere? Let us know your guesses in the comments section.
