Why did the Terminus people bother herding everyone into boxcars if they were just gonna slaughter them hours afterward? Could have just killed them quickly right away and saved lots of ammo.
Don't think they had the cold storage to slaughter all their meat at one time
this. they don't live in the Andes.
To that point, I found it kind of surprising they'd kill 7 dudes at once. You'd think you'd keep them alive and do one at a time. Two max. Fresh people has to taste better than jerky people, right?
It was meatloaf night at the local Terminus Cafe. Music, dancing, and open-face (literally) sammiches
Lol at open-face. :0

Glenn told Maggie Tara was someone he met on the road who helped him survive. He didn't tell her that Tara was part of The Governor's group which resulted in Herschel being beheaded. The only people who know that are Rick and Glenn. I think we can safely presume that Rick will have a discussion of some sort with Tara eventually. What I'm wondering is does he do it publicly where Maggie and the others will find out the truth about her or not. If he does, that could create issues between Glenn and Maggie obviously.

The fact Tara wasn't a willing participant in what went down at the prison doesn't change the fact she was there and part of the group that ultimately killed Herschel and others. The way Rick looked at her when he first saw her in the train car leads me to think he's not just going to let it slide on by either.
How does Rick know?
Rick specifically addressed Tara during that scene asking her if this (the attack on the prison) was what she wanted to be a part of. He also clearly recognized her when he saw her in the train car. For what it's worth Andrew Lincoln confirmed on The Talking Dead after the Season 4 finale that Rick did recognize Tara and knows she was part of The Governor's group.

As far as others who had been part of The Governor's group before none of them were there in the final attack on the prison except for Tara, who is now part of Rick's group. I think it's only natural that this is going to be explored in some way. Maybe it ends up being nothing but I doubt it's just forgotten about.
Thanks. I didn't recall that. I really do think it will be nothing. Tara had about as little to do with that attack as anyone. She didn't even fire a single shot and just hid. If they do make something of it at this point, that would piss me off. Tara had about as much control over the Governor doing what he did the walker that the Governor did a crossover move on.

 
Good gravy. The bottle rocket is the real problem. When was the last time those things ever went in the direction you wanted them except for up?
I was just happy they acknowledged a shot from a rifle wouldn't make the thing explode. Beyond that... I can let Carol have her MacGyver moment. :cutler:
Agreed. I would have rather had her point it and use the hole in a wiffle ball bat to bring back childhood memories, but alas, it was going to happen regardless.

Ah...6th grade reading level and all that.

 
It's annoying that the child actor playing Carl is aging faster than time is passing on this show. Can't they force him to take up smoking or something?

Looking at him it feels like this all started four or five years ago. But I realized Sunday night that Judith is the one to look at when it comes to establishing a timeline...

That whore mother of hers took the pregnancy test back in S2.

The "who's the daddy?" drama implied the conception happened in S1.

Judith now appears to be about six months old.

Assuming full-term... that puts us about 15 months past S1.

Gas should be fine.

:nerd:

 
That was really a great episode, but I have one criticism. They really should have had Bob be the next guy in line at the trough. At no point did I think they were actually gonna kill Glenn, but Bob is still an ancillary character and I could see him getting whacked.

Otherwise, A+ effort. :thumbup:

Also, someone should tell Cutty that he can't gain 40 pounds in the offseason. My boy is getting posty-esque.

said the same thing about Bob that he should have been before Glenn except they should have killed him off.

I thought I read somewhere that it's been like 450ish days since Rick woke up.

I doubt the writers would have him get a handle on his addiction only to then kill him off by some cannibal. I think Bob's in this for at least another season.

No wonder why you have a problem with the bottle rocket. Didn't you ever have bottle rocket fights or hang out with friends and set off fireworks? We played lots of baseball growing up, so shooting bottle rockets off with wiffle ball bats was something we did. Hence the nostalgia. FYI, there is a small hole at the top of the bat that fits the stick well. It was fairly accurate.

I'm pretty sure Rick and his pals would have gotten away.
Yes, I know that the writers were writing their escape, pretty sure I saw that in the previews. That said, tdoss' easy decision IMHO would have gotten them in much worse shape than what happened if we think about it in terms of what we saw in a TV show that can't really change kind of way.
btw- speaking of getting away... how many times has Tyrese bum-rushed a huge pack of zombies-leaving the viewer to assume he's dead- and then come strolling back in?
It's almost like a Hulk thing. He gets sent out or stays by himself, Hulks out, kills a million zombies and baby stranglers, turns back to Tyrese and hugs a kid. We actually got a glimpse of it when he beat the guy to a pulp.
Tyrese is growing on me imo
I started digging him when he killed a herd single-handedly

Sure thing, Feel like trading pics of are* college diplomas? Deflect when you don't understand how people go outside with friends and family to do things coming up with their next great post. Have a good night.

* Just wanted to give you something for later.

Who would you think is more likely to die in that situation, Bob or Glenn? My point is that there would be a realistic possibility that Bob dies. Not so much Glenn. Hence, a little more tension in the scene.

And it didn't necessarily have to be Bob...Sargent Slaughter or Science Mullett could have worked as well.

Mullet wouldn't have worked...we have to find out he's a fraud.

But Slaughter and Bob would've been a great choice. Even though Slaughter has to snap and go after Mullet once he finds out...

See...that's what I mean...takes a few moments of discussion to make that scene better. No matter how graphic and cool the scene was...there was NO tension when we see it's Glenn next...because we know this show will write in something to save him.

Bob is just pure genius...you don't really believe they'll kill him...but...they've already established that there can be only one black male in the group in the past...so you're just not absolutely sure...I think that would've been perfect.

Just scanning the thread quickly, what's with the Morgan talk? I didn't see him. Was he on after next week's previews?

 
I don't completely disagree, but this show has shown a willingness to kill off characters. You knew they probably wouldn't take out Glenn just like that, but the slight chance was enough to make it tense.

Logically Bob was more likely to eat it there, so it makes sense that moving him to Glenn's spot would increase the tension. However, the viewers are more invested in Glenn so even a 1% chance they kill him is probably more tense than a 20% chance they kill Bob.

T-Dog was no Glenn, but he was a S1 character who went down with no warning. It's always possible it could happen again.

We have T-Dog's death to thank for bad ### Carol. :tipsa40:

 
I was hoping for more Terminus, like bigger badder Woodbury. But those those terminus guys are like Bond villains; standing around talking instead of killing.

Yeah, seemed to be a scene from next week. He was on his way to Terminus and saw Rick's modified sign.
It seemed like it may have been a jump ahead in time to me. I haven't gone back to verify, but it seemed like the sign had more vines growing up around it when Morgan was at it than when Rick modified it. The producers have said they would be playing with time a bit in this season. He's definitely going to be on their trail, but I don't think he is right behind them.

 
That was a freaking intense episode.
Agreed, really enjoyed this episode.
That trough/bloodletting scene was the first time, in a very long time, I felt horrified/anxious watching a WD scene in a very long time. .
honestly can't believe they showed that on TV, we've come a long way. Only 2 other scenes from TV rival that for me, the mass prison killing scene in Breaking Bad and the final suicide episode of The Shield
It was the most extreme scene I've scene on a regular cable channel. When it happened I couldn't believe they got that one approved.
I was pretty surprised too. I was watching and thinking, ok well this is how they kill them, cut their throats and let them bleed out, they won't show it but I OMG they showed it!!... Showing him bleeding out too?!... Wow can't believe they... Jesus christ they showed a second one, well #### its on now here comes the third...
As they were panning down the trough I honestly laughed a little when with Rick on one end and the butcher behind him Rick looked down to the far end as if to say look mf'er you know they are starting on your end...sorry bro. Then you see the sniveling guy. Almost made the bloodletting more shocking for me.

On who's trail? Was someone in Ricks group making those markings on the trees?

Those marked trees were ridiculously close together. So, they were marked by someone who doesn't know much about marking a trail imo

Well, pretty sure it was for the viewers to all know someone did that, and that it wasnt just one marking.

Also, if someone was marking a trail, it would make sense to put a few close together at the beginning of the trail like that.

But point is, I sure didnt see anyone in Ricks group do it, nor do I think they would want people following them.

I'm not even sure that he's on the same path they are on. There is a carving in the tree, and it seems to me, he turns and actually goes in a different direction.

 
Good gravy. The bottle rocket is the real problem. When was the last time those things ever went in the direction you wanted them except for up?
I was just happy they acknowledged a shot from a rifle wouldn't make the thing explode. Beyond that... I can let Carol have her MacGyver moment. :cutler:

You must have had better bottle rockets out where you live. For us, they went all over the place. The prison rocket was a bit more that a bottle rocket though.

:goodposting: Bottle rockets always had a mind of thier own.. due to the weight.. But the larger rockets, at least from the one's I've shot off, tend to stay online..

I do agree with what one person posted above that the only part of it I thought was a stretch was having her shoot it in an arc.. to make it more "realistic" it should have been aimied more on a straight line so as to not expect the arc to bring it back down.

In the end through.. . Who really cares .. we got to see a very large explosion and Burning walking dead.. :thumbup:

That was me on the arc. Guess I shot off too many fireworks when I was younger, cause when I was watching the show I said there's no way that thing hits it based on the trajectory/angle of the rifle. Would have shot way over.

It was one hell of a good episode though.

 
Does anyone else despise Carol?
Used to. Still has the kind of face you want to biotch slap, but she's definitely turned the corner for me in her attitude. Its like they've made her into a replacement of Shane. No nonsense, survival is everything. With the exception that she is more team oriented and Shane was more "what's in it for me".

I just don't buy her as a baddass killing machine. It's laughable. Should've killed her and kept Andrea alive.
