Lame dialogue at the end of the episode. I think "when they find out who we are" would have sounded much better.

I think any rational person would realize that a show solely based on bashing zombies in the head wouldn't have made it past 2 seasons.

3/30/2014 10:09:28 PM

holy shit, first time watching talking dead. the guy who plays rick has a totally different accent!

After a pretty solid second half of the season that finale was horrible. And good good could they fir one more commercial break in there? ?

Would ya look at that they got the gang back together

3/30/2014 10:19:53 PM

i doubt beth is gone

3/30/2014 10:24:16 PM

So do we still think they're cannibals? At one point when they were scrambling around not being shot at, they showed some big pile of skulls and bones on the ground

3/30/2014 10:24:19 PM

definitely cannibals

3/30/2014 10:24:53 PM

Yep. Cannibals.

3/30/2014 10:33:18 PM

One of the dumbest tropes is that all bad guys become child molesters in the apocalypse.

3/30/2014 10:36:05 PM

The hipsters at Terminus are Fine Young Cannibals.

3/30/2014 10:50:59 PM

too skinny for cannibals. should be fat from all the eating lol.


Michonne made a great point. They're were a lot of people saying that the little girl should have been put down because she was a psychopath. They dont get it. EVERYONE is a psychopath. Everyone is a monster. They're humanity comes in community. but as you can see the zombies also hang in groups.
I found it odd that didn't help that one dude with the stick. they're all monsters.

3/30/2014 10:57:21 PM

Once again, everyone becomes a horrible shot in a firefight. At one point you could see the barrel of a gun in one scene, and Rick in the other half of the scene. It was like the guy had a force field keeping him from aiming directly at Rick.

The train door looked like it shut itself after everyone entered the car. I find it hard to believe that they had the power or the means to rig that up on the car sitting there by itself. I focus on the most retarded details.

3/30/2014 11:39:00 PM

They were intentionally missing. Darryl made a comment about it. Probably so they can cook them without having to dig out the lead.

3/30/2014 11:44:07 PM

Oh. Maybe he said it when they were scrambling through the buildings and I missed it.

3/30/2014 11:58:31 PM

I didn't hear Darryl say anything about it, but it seemed really obvious that they were just guiding them to a destination. Especially after all the snare talk foreshadowing at the beginning of the episode.

3/31/2014 12:05:00 AM

^

Yeah, it seemed obvious they were being herded.

I also just caught when one of ricks guys ask "why do you let people in" the response was "everyone who becomes part of us makes us stronger". Double entendre there...

Also a little strange rick never saw the "Glenn go to terminus" messages.

3/31/2014 12:14:10 AM

darryl said something along the lines of "they were tryin' to miss. they were shooting at our feet." said it when they got into one of the rooms.

3/31/2014 12:14:34 AM

every week somebody comes in here bitching about something that was pretty clear to anyone who was actually paying attention to the show

3/31/2014 12:36:08 AM

i guess they could've been on different tracks. there were several on the map all leading to Terminus.

3/31/2014 12:55:06 AM

In one of the prison flashbacks, Daryl just starts up his bike, and revs the engine like 6 times then turns it off. What a zombie-attracting waste.

3/31/2014 1:57:30 AM

I thought it was a great episode. I enjoy episodes like that a lot better than the ones that focus on just 1 character at a time...

I have some thoughts about the show....mainly about the ending.

1. I'm not sure the people are cannibals. That seems to be the leading theory, and I can see why, but it almost seems like the writers WANT us to believe they are cannibals. Maybe I'm giving the writers too much credit.
If they aren't cannibals, then that begs that questions, where are all the other people who have ever arrived...but maybe we will find out.

2. The whole Terminus scene had a "Lost" feel to it. I couldn't help but think of the "Others" when we met Garreth and were introduced to their "town".
When Rick and co. were being led by bullets to a certain point, they went through that strange room with people's names and candles.
Perhaps they are going to try some type of psychological brainwashing on the people who arrive? I don't know, but something is definitely odd.

3. To the person who said it was weird that the train door shut, one of their people came down and shut the door when everyone got in the rail car.

4. In the last flashback at the prison, Rick says something to Beth about, "New sheriff in town" or something like that. Foreshadowing to when she arrives and saves the day, perhaps?

3/31/2014 6:46:35 AM

That group that Darryl was traveling with... How did they know what Rick looked like? As in, how did they knew he was the one that killed their pal in the bathroom?
I thought the only one that got a square look at Ricks face ended up getting strangled. Maybe it was the guy getting beat up that saw rick under the bed?

3/31/2014 7:34:50 AM

^The guy that saw Rick under the bed was the one that held the gun on Michonne when they surprised them on the road.

I think it's pretty obvious that Terminus is full of cannibals, when running through the buildings there was a big fenced in room you could see that had a ton of bones and stuff on the ground. I mean that could be the writers playing with the comic readers, but they're more direct with stuff like that these days. Would also make sense why they herded them into their trap instead of just shooting them, they can maximize the amount of meat they salvage.

I also wonder why Abraham's theory of "herds" hasn't hit yet on Terminus. Plenty of tracks leading to one centralized location, TONS of useless gunfire just in this one episode(not sure they used that much ammo to corral Glenn/Abraham's group but there were a ton of bullet holes scattered around the path they were running). Looked like 1 person on watch and minimal zombies around the perimeter despite tons of noise/smoke from cooking/zombies along the tracks. Also wondered why the guy was just walking around indoors wearing riot gear, haha.

I definitely thought Khorl was going to catch a bullet by accident towards the end, esp. when they kept having weird camera angles on him not saying anything. Also probably because the writers kept suggesting that "someone who is still alive in the comics, is going to die in this episode", so I was waiting to see who it would be.

3/31/2014 8:21:01 AM

Yep. Probably some foreshadowing with the rabbit being "funnelled" to the snare wire in the beginning.

Good thing Rick buried that bag of weapons outside. Gotta think that's going to play a big role in the future.

3/31/2014 9:17:48 AM

A couple of things about the Termites.

They are used to bringing in people that have been on the road - they even have a standard greeting...something to the lines of "It looks like you've been on the road a while." They let them keep their weapons, obviously to disarm any feelings of doubt they may have. Certainly they've had close calls in the past with people coming in and attacking them. At this point any survivors are war weary. Why do they still let them keep their weapons? There were enough of the armed "Termites" to just point guns at them and make them go where they want. So, why did they let them keep their weapons?

Also, Rick asked the Termites where their people were. It was obvious who their people were, so why at the end of the show did the Termites put Rick and his group back with his old group of Maggie, Glenn, etc. If I'm that cautious, I would keep them separate just so they couldn't come up with any escape plans.

And - they are cannibals. They are constantly cooking meat, with no obvious fields for cattle to grow. If you tell me that the fields might be somewhere in the distance, then why are they growing cabbage and sunflowers in container gardens? Rick's group, while being herded, passed several other containers of people screaming for help. All signs point to meat eaters without a source of meat other than people.

Something I noticed while they were in that strange room. It brought back to me Texas Chainsaw Massacre, one of the new ones, where it shows when the family decided they were going to just eat whatever came along, I remember R. Lee Ermee(sp?) standing up at the dinner table pretty much saying the same stuff that was written on the wall.

[Edited on March 31, 2014 at 9:20 AM. Reason : aasdf]

3/31/2014 9:18:46 AM

I don't remember who...but one of the guys said he got a good look at Rick and would be able I recognize him.

3/31/2014 9:26:23 AM

My only theory as to why they don't just snag them once they walk in, I feel like like the "train car" is their back-up plan if things go sour.

My guess is ideally they let them come in, feed them some food(fatten them up more), wait until they go to sleep and then take them quietly without much of a fight. Now whether that is drugging them or just knocking them out who knows. Almost like giving them a "last meal".

I do like how they draw back references from old shows. Like even after Gareth knows their names, he still refers to them as "ring leader, archer, and samurai" instead of using their names, just like Rick told Khorl not to name the pigs on the prison.

3/31/2014 9:32:43 AM

So any thoughts on whether or not the Termites ever gain new members. Or is pretty much everybody that comes in to terminus a future meal?

I kinda doubt well get this, but I'd like to know some of the history behind Terminus and how it came to be.

3/31/2014 9:59:03 AM

i doubt they are looking for new members. in a survival situation, more people = less food for you.

3/31/2014 10:25:12 AM

They're fattening them up with condensed milk. They showed the bags of it at the traincar door.

3/31/2014 10:29:30 AM

I think we'll definitely learn the history of Terminus in the next season. Highly unlikely that they add any new members. When they were being herded and ran through the various buildings, there is one room/building where they have a bunch written on the wall. Think it was something along the lines of "Never again. Never trust. We first, always."

Darryl asked the leader if they got a good look at the guy, and the leader said "_______ did", which I"m pretty sure was the guy that saw him under the bed as he was being choked out.

3/31/2014 10:41:00 AM

Ah, ok. I missed that part

3/31/2014 10:44:54 AM

It seems odd in an apocalypse to keep a room full of candles going like that... maybe it was candle-room day though...

3/31/2014 11:16:46 AM

The were just observing Earth Hour.

3/31/2014 11:28:17 AM

Where did the term "Termites" come from? I get that it is a play on the word Terminus, but was that on Talking Dead or something?

3/31/2014 12:04:30 PM

what were the "termites" doing when Rick & company first entered the warehouse? they were all standing around, looking over desks like they were architects or something.

Quote :

"The hipsters at Terminus are Fine Young Cannibals."

haha, bravo.

3/31/2014 12:09:52 PM

Yeah the "Termites" started on Talking Dead. Always set my DVR to record an extra few minutes and I caught the first few minutes of Talking Dead and it was said then.

It appeared the "Termites" in that room were all making more Terminus signs to hang up to catch more people.

3/31/2014 12:18:53 PM

And oh yeah lol, the part with the guy trying to fight off the zombies with the stick. Why would he just stand there swinging at them and at least not try and run.

3/31/2014 2:46:17 PM

yeah, i'm pretty sure he had an open path to the woods where rick and crew were hiding.

3/31/2014 3:08:38 PM

^I've learned to overlook BS like that in this show. It happens too often for me to dwell on it.

3/31/2014 3:14:53 PM

Oh, i agree. it's a show. Sometimes it has to be unrealistic for it to be interesting.... like what are the chances that Rick and company would have been able to fight those guys off in the situation they were in? They had way too many "lucky breaks". But it was pretty cool.

3/31/2014 3:28:14 PM

i'm just glad they didn't drag that Claimers vs. Rick storyline out longer. i was afraid they would, but was glad to see it end quickly.

3/31/2014 4:28:13 PM

im guessing next season tyreese, carol, beth and morgan will ride in and save the day

and it will take them to the mid season finale to do it

and we have at least one episode of nothing but flashbacks

and another of nothing but dialogue inside the train car lol

3/31/2014 6:15:37 PM

I thought the scene with the Claimers getting their asses handed to them was pretty good. I can't believe they went that far with the Khorl rape scene. Nice to see Rick fuck people up. Sounds like there will be more of that next season. I can't wait to see Rick go apeshit and rip terminus a new one.

3/31/2014 9:36:01 PM

Finally got around to watching this. Those commercials were awesome, gang is back together, now next season they will spend the entire season trying to escape. The finally of next season is when they escape.
