Sorry if I missed these if they were answered. But a few questions i don't understand:

1. Once the Terminites had Rick and Crew lay their weapons down, why ever give them back? Even if the Terminites had way superior firepower (they did) giving someone you're about to capture their weapons back is stupid.

2. I don't understand the idea that wearing the poncho or watch was some kind of test. Test for what?

3. If the goal is to lure humans in and trap them, why not capture them plain and simple?

I thought the same thing about 1- only thing I can come up with is that it's a way of giving them some sense of trust and safety. But if they're just going to herd them into cages with volleys of bullets, why risk one of those return pop-shots actually hitting somebody?

2- A test to see. You know... to really SEE.

3- Because it's a test.



A couple of people make somewhat compelling arguments for the whole "test" thing... I don't agree with the conclusion, but there's a kind of logic going on.

Anything of note with that man the got eaten by the side of the tracks near Tyresse when Carol appeared?

He told them to go Terriminus I believe. Did he say anything to make us believe he was from there or knew of it?

It sucks they couldn't use the scripted final line from Rick of "They've f'd with the wrong people."

Would've loved that.

On the Talking Dead, Rick said they shot the final scene both with and without the F$## word, and they decided to go without in editing.

That's not a TV spoiler now, but this is what leads me to believe Terminus will be cannibals. If they are going to follow the comics that closely during that part, it really doesn't make sense for them to stray from the rest of that storyline. They could be co-mingling storylines, Rick kinda went a bit nuts when killing the guy that was on Carl, similar to a scene in the comics.

Edit to add: after reading the interview with Gimple, I'm not so sure about cannibals. Sounds like they involved Kirkman with setting up a whole new sequence.

As for the people wearing "clues", I agree with whoever said that the people of Terminus had no way of knowing that Rick and Co had anything to do with the other group. I think they were clues for us the viewers to let us know what Rick was keying on, and that Glenn/Co were here.

on #1 my gut tells me it's important for the Termites to take people alive, for whatever ultimate use they have for them. If their goal was to drug them and get them back into the train car anyway, I think giving them their weapons back as a gesture of trust is reasonable. I don't think the group they walked in on had a bunch of weaponry to win a fight if it broke out or became confrontational (and Rick's group has guns and weapons at their feet). Better tact to get them to trust you and take them to where they'll be drugged, if it gets combative right away things may turn out bad for you even if you have the upper hand (see the interaction with the "claimed" group earlier in the episode) and someone likely ends up dead (and we're presuming that's not the outcome they want, even for Rick's group). That entry way was staged, all the people behind the BBQ had guns and seem prepared to handle violence if it broke out and there was even a plan C of leading them through the maze. I think the group got caught off guard and did the reasonable thing trying to get Rick's group into that entry way area where they were prepared to deal with all the contingencies.

 

[The Big Guy]

Any thoughts on the random guy just a bit outside Terminus being an exile or escapee from there? He has no real weapons and looked like he had no clue on how to deal with a zombie at all, which is inconceivable for someone this far into the zombie apocalypse.

Why is everyone so adamant they had "no way of knowing?"

A. We don't know what happened with Glen's group after they arrived. They might have gotten skittish and ended up taking action too. They may have been interrogated and given up information about their history.

B. They might have felt welcomed and unloaded some of their story on their new hosts. "we were living at a Prison, not unlike this. We were attacked and scattered. We all found each other, there may be more of us left out there. I hope so." I mean Sasha stated her reason for going to Terminus was because Tyreese might be there. It's not unreasonable to think she asked about him when they arrived.

Either way, it's a pretty quick and simple way to determine if any new arrivals are related.

It's possible, I guess I just go for the simplest explanation, which is people took the stuff and apportioned it somehow and them wearing it had little or nothing to do with Rick/group showing up. I guess we'll find out in 6 months, I guess.

I think the writers tried to leave the specifics of Terminus a bit open-ended so they could change direction if needed as the fleshed out the season.

[stbugs]

I am watching it in the background now. There was 1 extra person in the courtyard that didn't appear to have a significant item (or at least Rick didn't mention it). Right after he grabbed Alex, a few more popped out, i.e. definitely appeared to be armed and waiting, including what looked like a guy with an M-16 or such that looked like he shot Alex. Gareth also appeared suddenly behind them, again, waiting for their reaction.

Also, I noticed that as they ran by the bones, there were two large shipping containers and you can hear people yelling to save them. This was before the church and before they got outside to the rail car they got into. So, there appear to be more living people aside from our folks.

 

[ghostguy123]

I would think all would be well once mullett boy tells them he has a cure or whatever.

Can't believe Abe is falling for that guy's crap, and the rest of them also.

 

[tdoss]

I think it would be borderline impossible to accurately describe to someone where they buried the weapons. The rail car wasnt locked if I remember correctly.

What was the deal with them going one at a time?

Go to the top of that ridge, look for freshly churned dirt.....?

Every one of these guys can track a butterfly in a tornado.

Just tell them you buried weapons about ten feet from fence line...they'll find it.

 

[Mario Kart]

I still like the thought although I can understand not doing the following but Rick's group should have split 2-2. Maybe Rick and Michonne go in to test the area. Maybe Michonne and Darryl go in. Why all go in at once? Could have scoped it out more.

However, with the people we did see with guns and their positions, they easily could have captured the other two had they split up. Looks to be pretty secure and quiet. Although, those guns blazing should have attracted some zombies unless the perimeter is well secured with ramparts, ditches and stuff.

J

1. To see if they can be trusted and maybe selected to join the terminus team.

2. To see if Rick will recognize them as belonging to his group. I believe Glenn and Abraham were deemed untrustworthy and were herded to the "A" container. The terminites probably knew, based on their questions to Maggee, et al, that there were more to their original group. So the next few groups that came to terminus were put to the test to see if they were also untrustworthy like Glenn and Abraham. Rick failed the test.

3. I believe they aren't interested in simply capturing everyone who comes to terminus. Just those that they deem untrustworthy and therefore dangerous.

As the memorial wall indicates, something happened to the folks at terminus that caused them to up security and screen incomers.

I also think the question that the leader asked Rick before the shooting started might be key. He said "Rick, what do you want?" Rick replied that he wanted to know what happened to his people, or where was his people (can't remember). The leader said wrong answer then closed his fist, I guess indicating to his henchmen to open fire. I wonder what would have been the right answer from Rick.

Not to mention passing(?) the test doesn't necessarily mean you don't know the previous group. You might just not be all that perceptive. Note that three of the four fell into that category.

Agreed. They seem to have a good system, but they still need numbers. Some people will join them and make them stronger. The rest will as Alex put it "become a part of them" in the more sinister way.

I think the more likely "test" involves the "oh by the way, your lunch was people" reveal. If that doesn't go well then they start driving the new people through the trap.

The chase through the maze thing is interesting. Why not just surround them and force them to lower their weapons at the grill, the same way they did at the fence line? Then just take them wherever they want them to go. Is it just for sport or is there another meaning?

I agree with you and to be honest, since Glen's group was the last one in (solid assumption), it would be stupid for the Terminus folks to not assume that they aren't related. Something tells me that the hey let's split up has been tried before and maybe it worked, hence the trust issues.

Also, just answer this question. If you have a new group come in day 1 and shortly after you see group 2 sneak in, what would you think? Well, seeing as how all of our groups ran into only one other set of travelers and they died, you almost have to assume group 2 was coming in because they hadn't heard anything from group 1. So, let's do our 2 group test by setting up significant items from group 1. If group 2 goes nuts, well, herd them into the same rail car as group 1. If group 2 doesn't notice and sits down to eat then maybe they can join.

Thinking back on Gareth's statements, it seems pretty clear they were trying to see if they could trust Rick's team. He tells them they are right to be suspicious and sneak in as Terminus is now suspicious of every visitor with their trust issues. I don't recall exactly what he said when Rick had his gun to Alex, but it was also all about not being able to trust anymore and then the snare was set.

She could reroute the FTP server's LAN line IP settings and open the boxcar for them while pulling up a background profile for white 20 something emo looking males named Gareth.

All while telling Milo that she's doing it already and he should shut up.

Has Maggie mentioned Beth even once since the prison fell?

Has Maggie mentioned Beth even once since the prison fell?

When they first showed her in the train car I think I remember that they set her up for a dramatic moment which I figured would be asking about Beth but she didn't which I thought was a bit weird.

I was expecting it then too, but I suppose it would have taken away from the whole "Avengers Assemble!" vibe of that scene.

I'll go ahead and guess that not everyone is on the same page at Terminus and one of the members decides to let Rick and company go free.

I'm going to go with a CTU appearance, whereas CTU agents come in and set up a perimeter... Rick and gang get out easily...

Hmmm. Rick did channel his inner Jack Bauer when he chomped down on Joe. You may be onto something here.

Chloe is an IT goddess, but I think Penelope Garcia (criminal minds) has her beat in the IT technical arena.

Criminal Minds is another good example of a show that uses random computer jargon to solve problems. They also love to stand around coming to the same conclusion and randomly all taking turns explaining the solution that they all arrived at together.

I know I give TWD crap sometimes, but its leagues better than Criminal Minds on it's best day.

Not that I can remember. The relative lack of interest the separated siblings (Tyreese and Sasha too) have had in one another's whereabouts was rather glaring. I'd say that was one of the weakest aspects of the second half of the season.

I like em' both.

 

[BustedKnuckles]

anyone think that the termites will save Glen for when the mood for Chinese food hits them?

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

In a world where no one is making new bullets, the folks at Terminus sure like to use a whole lot of them just to herd some people.

We don't know this. I have friends that make their own bullets and shotgun shells now, why wouldn't that continue?

Yeah, getting a reloader and materials would be pretty high on teh zombie survival list. Would also mean they'd have to keep collecting their brass.

Yes, but then they'll be hungry an hour later.

Agreed. A long time ago, my chance in a zombie apocalypse was much better. My dad owned a hunting and fishing store and I had my own shotgun/competition level rifle with scope. We had the ammo reloaders for shells in my basement and ridiculous supplies at the store. Not automatic weapons (Uzis and others came through but sold fast) but plenty of long distance zombie clearing weapons and shotgun/handguns. There was even a whole repair shop down the basement and the store was very secure with bars etc. Great place for HQ.

Sorry if I missed these if they were answered. But a few questions i don't understand:

1. Once the Terminites had Rick and Crew lay their weapons down, why ever give them back? Even if the Terminites had way superior firepower (they did) giving someone you're about to capture their weapons back is stupid.

2. I don't understand the idea that wearing the poncho or watch was some kind of test. Test for what?

3. If the goal is to lure humans in and trap them, why not capture them plain and simple?

1. To see if they can be trusted and maybe selected to join the terminus team.

I don't understand. You give dangerous looking strangers ("I'd hate to see the other guy") automatic weapons to see if they can be trusted?

[Joe Bryant]

I think the more likely "test" involves the "oh by the way, your lunch was people" reveal. If that doesn't go well then they start driving the new people through the trap.

The chase through the maze thing is interesting. Why not just surround them and force them to lower their weapons at the grill, the same way they did at the fence line? Then just take them wherever they want them to go. Is it just for sport or is there another meaning?

That's the kind of stuff I'm questioning Jayrock. The way they're handling this makes little sense.
