    i agree it wasn't the best season, but i thought they were in a tough spot with the group as scattered as they were.all in all it wasn't bad, with some memorable moments coming from the season

    True. My gf keeps bringing up the fact that Maggie hasn't even brought up the fact that Beth is still missing. She was so infatuated with finding Glenn.. Thought it was kind of effed up they didn't show any sister love.

    Just watched the chase scene throughout the Terminus maze.

    There are a FUCK loads of skeletons- a lot more than I thought- and Rick clearly pauses and looks over and sees what's there.

    Ooof.

    I think folks are just used to seeing the whole clan together and seeing separate episode with a scattered group when not all characters are in every episode can torque some fans off.

    I liked it as a whole.

    agreed, the whole show is based on a group dynamic, so this episode was a big change from the norm. next season will be interesting with the group back together (mostly) albeit in a horrible position at the moment.

    btw i went into last nite thinking no way carl makes it through the episode. glad i was wrong

    I just can't see he or Rick ever getting killed. They stray pretty far from the comic but those two are the constants (not sure what other characters still survive in the comic-maybe Glenn and Maggie?).

    But for a moment there last night I thought he was getting sniped.

    I've already figured out how Rick is getting out of this jam- it's got to involve the group somehow taking the leader of Terminus hostage. There is just too much firepower for a dozen unarmed survivors to take on the armed masses. Looks like there are dozens of them with automatic weapons. Also can't see Carol and Tyreese mounting an assault, but maybe they assist in the hostage taking.

    i haven't read the comic,so this all coming very frsh to me. i just tried to think what would be the craziest thing they could do without killing rick or daryll. and maybe this was the season they get rid of all the kids.

    as far as how they are going to escape, either tyrees and carol or beth are going to get them the duffle bag buried outside the fence. the terminus folks are going to hate seeing rick and his hand canon

    That gun is the only one that has made it through the entire series so far. Surprised Colt doesn't bring the Python out of retirement, they could have a great advertising campaign.

    Yeah I don't think there's a question they are cannibals. The line that one guy says before Rick sees Hershel's pocket watch, something like "The more people become a part of us the stronger we become" or something like that, it was a pretty dead giveaway

    Everything I said is dead on. You struggle heavily making very basic points, therefor welcome to the ignore list, clown. I don't have time to read ignorance on that scale. You might want to learn what football is all about because your posts are atrocious on this forum. You sound like some 15 year old that just started following the team and everyone you disagree with you just insult and offer zero counterpoints. I love the ignore feature.

    This finale was trash, especially compared to the 3 others, plus the mid season finale. This show sucks at continuity. The season 3 mid finale should have been the finale of s3 or even 4 if they wanted to push the governor story line. Terminus should have been started fresh from the beginning of s4 or even 5. This episode had its moments but it wasn't satisfying in the least. This show is beginning to fade for me. Sometimes the writing is just lazy and you can tell the production costs went down.

    Disagree in pretty much every respect.

    Wow you went from claiming you were trolling me to putting me on your ignore list lol. Your knowledge of football speaks for itself, you homer it up and cry about all the other posters here and then make no sense about the actual game. Buhbye

    What, you mean you didn't like that terrible farm season finale? I thought the unlimited shotgun was brilliant, felt like I was playing Doom with cheat codes

    Very disappointing season. It was fairly boring. Plus, a lot didn't make sense to me. For two season in the prison, the group took every precaution to protect the perimeter from threats from the walkers - barricades, fences, watches, etc. Then this second half of the season, they are outside the prison and it was like a stroll in the park. Sleeping outside, sleeping cars, staying in unprotected houses, etc. All of a sudden, nobody fears the walkers. Nobody needs guns. Just some crowbars and we're good wandering around the woods in groups of 3. No more hoards of walkers. It made no sense to me that the group was not really in danger outside of the prison when they were under constant threat inside the prison.

    I also thought the last episode was so predictable and somewhat silly. If Rick did not trust Terminus, why did he he have all four of them hop the fence and go in? Why not send two in and keep two outside while they figured out what was going on? It made no sense to bury the guns outside the fence and for all four to go inside. What good are the buried guns?

    One bit of symbolism/foreshadowing I missed.

    Rick explaining the slip knot trap to Carl and Michone was basically the Terminites herding them through the gauntlet to the boxcar.
