‘The Walking Dead’ season 5: A ‘class photo’ … minus Norman Reedus?

Either the people who run the social media accounts for “The Walking Dead” are oblivious, or they are doing some grade-A trolling with what is one of their latest promotional efforts for the new season.

The attached image here was shared by the show on Twitter this week, and it contains the majority of the Terminus occupants in Train Car A … minus Daryl Dixon. Where in the world is he? Did Norman Reedus go off and get a sandwich or something?

Obviously, the conspiracy junkies out there are probably going to go off and read something into this, but you really shouldn’t. It’s just a fun image posted on social media. Daryl’s still in the fifth season, and there are other promotional photos out there that make it clear he is still in the train car with all of the other characters above. The thing that we feel the most sorry about here is that actors look pretty hot and uncomfortable in this photo. We especially feel for Andrew Lincoln, who has to be sweating like crazy in that outfit in the Atlanta heat. (Plus, the beard probably does not help matters at all.)

You will get a chance to see Daryl, Rick, and the rest of the gang back doing awesome things in October, when season 5 officially premieres over on AMC. Until that time, you can just head over to this link to get some of the latest updates related to the show. There are still some more secrets to be unveiled, especially as the cast inches deeper into production.

What’s your take on this photo, and are we and some of the collective internet making way too much of a deal out of it? Share in the comments, and click here to get some further insight on all we cover now via our CarterMatt Newsletter.
