So... they seem like they are pretty much fooked right now.
I think we can anticipate another ridiculous 'turn the tables' event where this group of scrubby dubs overpowers the massive group of armed and healthy cannibals- right in the 11th hour.
Just like they overpowered the group of dudes Darryl was hangin' with at the start of the show- while on their knees and staring down gun barrels.
What was up with this room and the names of people written on the ground, surrounded by candles. Seemed like they were worshipping those who they have eaten?
Umm yeah, that was really fucking creepy.
Pretty decent finale. A little surprised that no one died, but that had kinda become the norm with finales so I guess it was nice that it wasn't so predictable.
My guess is Carol and Tyrese will have watched Ricks group get captured from the woods and help set up the rescue. While bad ass RIck is in charge now, still would not want to cross Carol.
...got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...
as someone said previously this could have been a 2hr show no problem. And the fucking commercials eating up the majority of the show brutal. The messing with the wrong bunch comment was cheesy too. ) Sorry just bitter we gotta wait till October for the answers.

exactly what i expected and would have predicted. 1) rick reunites with daryl and they take care of joe's group 2) they find out what terminus is really about 3) no one major dies
great episode though! the sound of rick going to town on that guy with his knife made me cringe... it went on for a long, long time! when the group approached that train car and they showed the powdered milk on the ground, i thought for sure judith would have been in there with tyreese and carol, but obviously they didn't arrive yet. obviously they will and obviously they will save the day against incredible odds.
how many brushes with death can rick possibly have before he actually gets killed? i think he has been held at gun point more times than anyone on the show.
Yeah, Rick has managed to avoid very close calls with death numerous times. Joe could have just pulled the trigger, but instead he talks to him and then does the count down. If you really want somebody dead you should take the opportunity when you have the chance. But I loved the part when Rick ripped his neck open.

He got shot when the Governor over ran the prison too. He has amazing recuperative powers.

Don't forget about the weapon bag Rick buried. Maybe Judith will sniff it out.

beth cooking on the grill? and someone made an observation that the car that was used to kidnap her was in the garage where daryl and crew spent the night in? did anyone pick up on that? i missed it if that is true.
Was that car in that garage?? I did NOT see that....that would be interesting!!! Could be they are grilling up Beth?? I def think they are cannibals....my question is why did rick freak so quickly....why not give it time and see what its all about??

The car that took Beth definitely wasnt in the garage
The Terminus chase scene was ridiculous. I realize they were missing the group on purpose with the bullets to lead them where they wanted them. but the group wouldn't be able to figure out the path of the bullets.

Gonna have to agree with what I heard someone say early, Beth is not dinner. The people at Terminus wait for people to come to them, they don't go out hunting for people. Whoever took Beth doesn't fit Terminus' MO. Maybe Beth will be part of freeing Rick's group.
Must say I was surprised no one died from the group.

The worst part about this plot line is that we know they will eventually get free. Maybe not all will live, but the group will be free. Terminus is setting up another showdown that will take a season to develop. I really wish they would dive more into what is actually causing the outbreak and what is going on in the world around their area. I do look forward to seeing how the Terminus people are living and what their story is.
The scene in the woods was epic. One of the series' best IMO.

Speculation is that the names are of people in their group that have died. The large writing on the walls talks about how they're not going to trust others anymore and lookout for themselves first.
I enjoyed most of the season finale, and I love the idea of introducing cannibals. But I don't think the finale was quite what it could have been. The whole "Rick needs to be a farmer so he doesn't turn into a monster!" thing felt odd, especially considering they haven't touched on that for, what, most of the season? As such, the flashbacks seemed a bit out of place.
Like most of you have commented, I was surprised no one of importance died. But I'm guessing during the Great Cannibal Breakout of Fall '14, there will be at least a couple high-profile deaths.
And is it just me, or was Rick and company pretty stupid all going in to Terminus together? I mean, if they were smart enough to bury some weapons, you'd think they'd be smart enough to have Michonne or Daryl hang back out of sight.
Also, hysterical: When the group first comes into Terminus, the leader guy noted "Albert must must be on perimeter." What? One guy for the entire perimeter? Give Albert a break -- Terminus is a big place!

hahaha, i was thinking that too. "fuck, they are really throwing albert under the bus here." but then as the group got chased through terminus and back outside by the train cart there were like 20 people lining the fence with automatic weapons? where were they when rick/michonne/carl were scooping terminus out from outside the permiter?
one thing i thought of... rick is the only one besides glenn that knows tara was with the governor's group when they stormed the prison, right? being locked up in a train cart awaiting to be the cannibal's next feast is enough drama, but i wouldn't be surprised if tara's true "origins" so to speak gets revealed and causes a riff between everyone. especially glenn and maggie as glenn lied to her and said he picked her up on the way.

The whole thing about Albert and then the guys at the back fence made me think they had to have allowed Rick and Company to breach the perimeter. But if that was the case, then they would have spotted them burying the gun cache (so close to the fence? Why?). So my guess is Albert was in charge of perimeter watch, which means he has a small group of people under his command, and they as a whole screwed up (but the guy in charge got blamed).
Also, I'm guessing all those people lined up outside the fence were the perimeter folks who just converged at that location. It was pretty clear the snipers were directing Rick and Company there, after all, and in that time the perimeter cannibals got to their locations.
Hmmm ... I hadn't really considered the issue of Tara's association with the Gov coming up again. I'm guessing no. If it does, I suspect it'll be similar to the Carol and Tyrese scene, or it'll come out right before or right after sacrificing herself to save everyone. One of the two.
Come on Daryl. You didn't know how bad Joe's group was? You saw them stomp one of their own to death for lying to Joe. I think that was a pretty good clue.

Yeah, at first it reminded me of some dumb 80's drama where tons of bullets are shot but nobody actually gets shot/killed (very A-Team hahahaha!) but then as it happened I remembered Rick teaching Carl about the rabbit snare... "You need to guide them towards the trap" Then the cheesiness of it went away as I realized they were forcing them towards the rail car. I think the show missed out on the opportunity to keep an interesting character around in Joe.
Clearly Tyrese and Carol are going to get them out....somehow. Not sure how that'll work as the people in Terminus have significantly more firepower than Carol's revolver and Tyrese's hammer.
I for one did not like the flashbacks. In a way it seemed like the writing didn't give the viewer enough credit. Did they have to show how Rick put down his gun to grow crops? We all know this! They had multiple shows to deliver this message. I felt it was a waste when the focus could have been placed elsewhere...on perhaps a better cliffhanger.
Oh well, overall I thought it was a solid episode. I just really hope they change it up next year. I'd much prefer to see a darker, more subtle approach whereby allowing the viewer to question not the obvious but the unknown.
I was talking to a friend about The Walking Dead. He's pretty much a super-fan and gets pissed off at me if I question anything. Anyways, I made the analogy that this show is more or less "comfort food". Nothing complex, deep or nuanced...yet something that is insipidly satisfying.
I liked the flashbacks (and is the one of Rick outside the truck a flashforward, kinda?) because they were disorienting, and besides the character development I thought the disorientation played well for the episode. The ending was a bit flat, I would've liked to see it cut out just as a brawl was about to ensue, but I still think it was a good episode. I am worried that Terminus is not going to be nearly as exciting as we're thinking it will be.
