After the hanging moment in the Season 4 finale of "The Walking Dead", wherein the group reunited in a train car, TWD viewers know that they have to expect the worst in the Season 5. Norman Reedus, who played Daryl Dixon with his iconic crossbow weapon, promised that the upcoming season will be a "badass one".

He said to Entertainment Weekly, "These scripts are the best scripts so far, and I'm really just excited to be back at it. There are a lot of characters right now, so there are a lot of really different personalities on set. And it's super interesting, everyone's really bringing it. It's going great. It's so dynamic because it's so fast-paced and so complicated. It's great to be back."

"The Walking Dead" fans can recall how Rick Grimes, played by Andrew Lincoln, has changed in dealing with walkers and in his decision-making as the leader of the group. He refused to use guns as much as possible until another group attacked his son Carl, Michonne, and Daryl in a shocking "A" final episode of the Season 4. Who would ever think that Rick would bite the throat of Joe?

Do you remember when Rick said, "They're screwing the wrong people." as the last dialogue in the Season 4? This is perhaps what Reedus means by a "badass" season. It seems that Rick is really back in the game and will finally move on with Lori's death, especially when he finally sees Judith alive.

Reedus, who has recently received the Biggest Ass-kicker award at Spike TV's Guys Choice Award, said about Rick's not-so-new attitude, "Everybody on the whole team is so badass right now. It's interesting, because a lot of personalities are clashing or characters' personalities are clashing. But yeah, we definitely have Rick back."

AMC's "The Walking Dead" hit its season finale best in its Season 4, drawing 15.7 million viewers with 10.2 million adults who nailed their eyes and had their breath taken away.

The TV series Season 5 will premiere this October, and viewers will finally get a longer glimpse on Terminus. Perhaps, TWD fans hope they won't be in Terminus for the entire season.
