"...Whether that alliance bears out on the show remains to be seen. For now, two other main characters will serve as the audience's eyes and ears in the Kingdom: Morgan (Lennie James) and Carol (Melissa McBride), individuals on very different sides when it comes to the ethics of killing in the zombie apocalypse — though perhaps they're both a bit closer to center on the issue, given Carol's emotional breakdown toward the end of season six, and Morgan's decision to kill a Savior in order to save Carol's life.
For Carol, after spending a full season questioning her desire to go on in the apocalypse, the Kingdom represents a form of hope. In the comics, Ezekiel and Michonne (Danai Gurira) embark on a relationship, bonding over the emotional walls they both hide behind. Since Michonne is otherwise spoken for on the show, some fans are wondering if Ezekiel will attempt to woo Carol instead — which would be a sad prospect for Tobin (Jason Douglas), Carol's Alexandrian boyfriend.
The Kingdom represents a major test for AMC's The Walking Dead. How will viewers react to the sudden injection of Game of Thrones into the zombie apocalypse? Will Ezekiel's dramatic flourishes land with applause, or with tomatoes thrown at the veritable stage? How will Shiva play out in live-action? Will the community's introduction expand the Walking Dead world in directions fans are willing to go? Expect answers to most, if not quite all of those questions when season seven resumes on Sunday.
