Q 01In The Walking Dead's season 6 finale, what name does Negan give the barbed-wire baseball bat he carries?
Lucille

Q 02What does Carl Grimes lose when a stray gunshot hits him during the herd's invasion of Alexandria in The Walking Dead?
An eye
An eye is the price Carl pays, shot as Michonne cuts down the grieving teenager aiming at Rick. The injury is one of the comic book's major moments carried to the screen.
Q 03After Glenn Rhee's apparent death in The Walking Dead season 6, what did he crawl beneath to escape the walkers?
A dumpster
A dumpster saved him: knocked off its lid by a falling body, Glenn squeezed underneath and waited out the herd. The Hollywood Reporter declared the show had lost its credibility when he turned up alive.
Q 04One severed walker head seen in The Walking Dead season 6 was modelled on the head of which Hollywood star?
Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp was the model: the effects team had used his head as the basis for a clay sculpt of an emaciated dummy. It is among the heads Rick's group picks from before a night raid.
Q 05How does Negan choose which kneeling survivor to kill at the end of The Walking Dead's season 6 finale?
A counting rhyme
A counting rhyme does the choosing: Negan points his bat down the line of survivors as he recites it. He turns to the game only after failing to pick anyone himself.
Q 06What nickname do friends use for Paul Rovia, the long-haired scout who robs Rick and Daryl in The Walking Dead?
Jesus
Jesus is what his friends call him, as he tells the pair before making off with their truck. The show changed his comic-book surname, Monroe, to avoid confusion with Alexandria's first family.
Q 07Which martial art does Morgan Jones learn from a cheese-making hermit in The Walking Dead's season 6 flashback episode?
Aikido
Aikido is what Eastman teaches him, along with the belief that all life is precious. The lessons start only after Morgan learns the door holding him in was never locked.
Q 08The Walking Dead's season 6 finale drew a fan backlash for cutting away before revealing what about Negan's attack?
The victim's identity
The victim's identity stayed hidden: the beating is shown from the point of view of whoever was hit. The A.V. Club graded the episode a C, its lowest mark for the show up to then.
Q 09Where do Rick and Morgan find thousands of walkers penned in near Alexandria at the start of The Walking Dead season 6?
A quarry
A quarry had been trapping the dead and quietly keeping Alexandria safe, but its barricades were sure to fail. Rick's answer was to free the herd and march it 20 miles away.
Q 10What do Glenn and Enid send up outside Alexandria's walls to show Maggie he is alive in The Walking Dead season 6?
Balloons
Balloons rising over the wall tell Maggie her husband is alive. The relief lasts seconds, because the wall beside her gives way at that very moment.
Q 11What do Negan's followers, who extort half of other communities' supplies, call themselves in The Walking Dead?
The Saviors
The Saviors take half of what a community produces in exchange for leaving it in peace. Daryl, Abraham and Sasha are stopped by a band of them on the road home to Alexandria.
Q 12Which gang of raiders scales Alexandria's walls and slaughters residents in the streets in The Walking Dead season 6?
The Wolves

The Hilltop

Q 22Which Emmy winner from Nurse Jackie joined The Walking Dead in season 6 as Alexandria's nervous doctor, Denise Cloyd?

Q 23Which actor, Dr. Dre in Straight Outta Compton, plays Alexandria supply runner Heath in The Walking Dead season 6?

Q 16Which scar-faced follower of Negan kills Dr. Denise Cloyd with Daryl's own stolen crossbow in The Walking Dead season 6?
Dwight
Dwight fires the bolt, using the crossbow he took from Daryl at gunpoint earlier in the season. Daryl had helped him escape his pursuers and had just offered to take him in.
Q 17How does Rick's group slip through the herd after walkers overrun their Alexandria refuge in The Walking Dead season 6?

Q 19What sound from Alexandria pulls half of Rick's walker parade off course in The Walking Dead's season 6 premiere?
A horn
A horn starts blaring when a guard shoots the driver of a truck heading for the wall. By the time it stops, the rear half of the herd has turned toward the town.
Q 20What topples onto Alexandria's wall and lets the herd pour in during The Walking Dead season 6?
A church tower
A church tower that had been deteriorating for a long time comes down on the very section Rick had been reinforcing. Hundreds of walkers pour through the three smashed panels.

Q 24Which actor, Norm Gunderson in the film Fargo, guest stars as Morgan's mentor Eastman in The Walking Dead season 6?

Q 28How are the flashbacks following Pete's execution presented in The Walking Dead's season 6 premiere?
In black and white
In black and white, a choice made so viewers could follow the jumbled timeline. The producers first tried boosting the present-day colour instead, but found it made the zombies look too pretty.
Q 29Whose arm does Rick sever with a hatchet to free Carl from her grip in The Walking Dead season 6?
