Here's what I see happening in Season 5:

The premier centers almost entirely on the Termites and how Terminus came to be. I think that we'll find out that Rick's group is not the only one who has had to survive some pretty awful things; by this I mean that I could see a scenario where the Termites have had to fight their own "Governor" and that there are other communities out there whom they are or are not on good terms with.

We find out that they were nearly defeated by another group but prevailed and afterwards made the "never again" pledge. We also find out that they trade with another group -The Hunters. The Hunters scavenge surrounding communities and raid other groups and in return, they get some goods... and the people the Termites are "farming" for them.

Glenn and Sasha are killed, carved up and salted down, then traded to The Hunters.

I think that Carol and Tyreese join up with one of the groups the Termites are battling against and learn about the Termites in the process. Rick and Co. are rescued during a raid on Terminus. Rick comes back to town Charlie Bronson-style for revenge. He gets it in the 6th episode... but most of Terminus survives, along with Gareth.

We find out in episode 7 that Beth is being kept by one of the other groups in another community; this group is comprised of ex-military and ex-government types who use her (and others) for experimentation, sexual exploitation and slave labor. Father Gabriel is an Army chaplain at this facility and he winds up helping her escape. In the process, the leader of this group is killed... and the second-in-command is revealed to be someone named "Negan"... but all we'll hear are rumors and such. We will not see this guy for another season, at least... but we will hear a story or two about him.

In Episode 8, we meet The Hunters. They pick off Rosie (the chick from Abraham's group) and cut off her leg for a snack. The rest of the episode deals with Rick finding them and planning for their take down. The first half of the season ends with a first-person view of someone (the same one who was watching them enter Terminus) "Hunting" them and checking them out with a pair of binoculars.

I think that would be a hell of a story line. I need to go to Hollywood.

This is why the spin off will be good. You just have good stories forever in a zombie scenario.
