Does Clem Save Rick?
I don't want to sound dumb but Glenn from the game heads to Atlanta and is the same Glenn from the show, right? Well when he leaves he takes Clems walkie-talkie doesn't he and in the show communicates with Rick using it when he's trapped in the tank, saving him... I haven't watched S1 in a while but that just struck me playing the game now. So inadvertantly Ricks still alive because of Clem?
This has already probably been discussed but I haven't seen anything and would appreciate clarification
Copied this from the Walking Dead website:
Glenn meets Rick during one of his frequent trips into Atlanta to scavenge supplies. After witnessing Rick being assaulted by walkers, he guides Rick to safety via a handheld radio. "Call it foolish naïve hope," Glenn later explains, "that if I'm ever that far up shit creek, somebody might do the same for me."

Well the game is canon with the Comics not the Show so No.
that glenn is the one from the comic not the tv show
It's not the Glenn from the show it's the one from the comics, though they're alike the TV show and comic's story are on different universes
Hmmm, well I'm not sure if its explained in the show where he got the walkie talkie from, but I would like to think its Clems.
Ok, I haven't read the comics yet (where can I find them) so I wasn't sure how similar their stories go from comic to show but I did know it wasn't the same which is why I asked for clarification, thanks guys! It would of been really cool if it was true
But the show can create it's own rules. They added Tara from the Novels, a under appreciated series about Lily Caul, in the show. And that's just a crappy 5 book series. I'm sure that the show if it wanted to can add Clementine in the show without ruining the Canon of the Comics nor Video Games. They can kill her on the show, but it would be weird to have a one dead Clem and one alive Clem, even if they aren't canon to each other.
what i'm trying to say is that the show has absolute freedom to shape the show in any direction. so, Clem could have inadvertently saved Rick, if the Writer's of the show choose to say so. But I believe it's Clem's and now its morgan's.
Does Glenn from the comics use a walkie-talkie to contact Rick? If so, then it's Clementine's.
That Glenn is in the show, the show and the game aren't in the same worlds. However, the comic and the game are.
from memory i think glenn runs into rick while rick is surrounded and that was it from there i don't remember there being any walkie-talkies
Yeah, now I remember. He just runs into him.
Glenn meets Rick during one of his frequent trips into Atlanta to scavenge supplies. After witnessing Rick being assaulted by walkers, he guides Rick to safety via a handheld radio. "Call it foolish naïve hope," Glenn later explains, "that if I'm ever that far up shit creek, somebody might do the same for me."
That was copy and pasted from the Walking Dead website
that isn't how it happened in the comics i think from memory in the comics glenn just finds rick and tells him to follow him just as rick is being surrounded there were no handheld radios involved
EDIT:yep i was right
Watch the show.
It will answer your question.
But because there are the same writers who work with the show and game and the universe is always entertwined in different ways, is it not possible they put a shows forshadowing too?
Well it's still true. Lee saves Glenn's life, and Lee wouldn't have met Glenn if it wasn't for Clem. Because Shawn and Chet(Andrew) would have never made it back to Hershel's farm if Lee and Clem hadn't helped push the car out of the way, and if they hadn't made it back to Hershel's farm, Shawn wouldn't have gotten eaten by walkers, so Kenny and his family would have never left, or at least if they had, they were headed to Fort Lauderdale so they wouldn't have gone through Macon, which means they would have never met up with the Drug store group, and Lee would have never saved Glenn from the motor inn. Lee would have never met up with Shawn and Chet in the first place if he hadn't met Clem, because of the decision to leave at night or in the day, and since Glenn saves Rick in Atlanta in issue 2, Clementine is indirectly responsible for Rick still being alive in the comics as well.
It's a stretch I know, but it works.
there are no writers from the show working on the game and not even the comics the only person that works on the show or the comics that has ever slightly worked with the game is robert kirkman but the game and comic are one universe and the show is another
The game is actually cannoned to the comic universe.
If you have a android or apple phone/tablet you can buy the digital comics from a comic app . I'm not sure if its more or less but I prefer it since there's no risk of it getting torn and you can take it anywhere.
I've read the first few comics. I know how it went down. And that's not how it went down.
No... no.
The game and the comics are in the same universe.
The show is in its own universe.
Me too. I think he ran into an alley and got grabbed by Glenn. This would be after his horse got devoured.
No. The game is in the Comic Universe, not the Show's. Robert Kirkman himself has said this.
I realize that.
But it seemed like the user who asked this question, was asking about the tv show.
Seemed like they were asking if the game, tied into the show.
And in case you're slightly confused, I've never read the comics, so I don't know how close the tv show follows them.
The only I know, and this is second-hand information, is that in the comics, as opposed to the tv show, Rick lost his right hand to the Governor.
Yup.
