I think both Melvin/Mervin and Andrea will be dead before this season is over. The advisor has seen enough and won't follow the Governor much longer. He will die defying the Governor.
Andrea needs to make a decision and, in keeping with the idea that the writers are going to try and redeem her somehow, she will become a martyr saving her old group from the Governor. She will die a hero vindicating and redeeming herself in her final moments and I will never stop vomiting for how cheesey, predictable, and utterly unrealistic that turn will play out.
At least one other member of Rick's group will also die. There's only one black character left - Michonne - but I think the writers keep her around for awhile longer. I like Glenn so hopefully it's not him. Maggie would have a large impact so she makes sense. Hershel is sort of expendable. His crooning daughter is probably the most likely target though, especially in light of Rick's question to Hershel about sacrificing his daughters to save Michonne.
Merle will either do something selfless to help out Rick's group and set up a scenario next season where we see a bit of a transformation to Good Guy Merle punctuated by a few instances where we think it might just actually be Same Ol' Merle when he does or says a bunch of dick stuff. Either that, or he gets blamed for the death of someone in Rick's group but really isn't at fault. Gotta keep the tension around Merle and the rest of the group. I can't see them killing him off because he's such an awesome jerk.
Martinez and Daryl will meet again. I guess it will end in the reluctant death of Martinez because they aren't killing off Daryl. This past episode humanized Martinez so we can feel bad for Daryl when he has to kill him later. Both are badass albeit reluctant soldiers fighting on the front lines and doing what needs to be done.
No clue what happens with Tyrese and his group. It's like the writers forgot about them. I bet we'll see them again before the season is over.
I think we will see Morgan again too. Hopefully, he rides in to save the die when Rick calls on the walkie talkie for help because that would be really cliched and lame and I would laugh with derision at that part.
Finally, I hope that above all else we can put the Woodbury story line behind us and turn our attention to long-term survival and more zombie killing. (walkers > biters)
