depends on if that car she was abducted in had Marty McFly driving it and if it was a DeLorean

Now it all makes sense, Beth is in 1985 and will warn the people about the impending zombie apocalypse

I'm all for character development but I'm just getting bored. I don't need constant action, but I also can't be doing with these constant cliff hangers at the end of every episode. Its frustrating. Its fairly obvious this season will end with them all reaching terminus.
Which means the whole season will have been about their journey to Terminus, but when they finally get there we will have another x amount of months to wait before we get to actually see what its all about.

Ugh, I'm just fed up of cliff hangers.

Yep, I voted 6 for this ep but I can't figure out if I'm being harsh or not :pac:

I think as a standalone episode it was decent enough, not great by any means but good. In the context of this season though and following the previous 2/3 episodes - getting really bored of how long and drawn out this trip to the terminus is becoming. The character development along the way is good, but surely it could be done quicker?

Going by the preview of next week it looks like we're back to Tyreese/Carol group and and some more filler before the inevitable. Great.

What was going on there? Was she just having a rest disguising herself with the dead?

I think they got fed up waiting for the ice cream van to serve ice cream and lay down for a rest.

Why was there so much food in the church?

It was'nt a church it was a funeral home, obviously a family run business where the family live on the premises, fairly common in the states.
I was a bit disappointed the owner did'nt show up....or maybe he did...... zombified:D

How is it that with all their runs from the prison when looking for food, they never saw these signs for Terminus before?

I liked the episode. Now to see where everyone is from. The guys Daryl met. The ones who kidnapped Beth. Which of them are from Terminus?

Is Rick's group on their way to Terminus as well? Can't remember

as far as i know everyone by now knows about terminus and are heading in that direction except Daryl and Beth

Id expect that the guys Darryl has met will have some info on terminus. Also there must have been someone else in that car, judging by the way beths bag was dropped on the ground id say she was grabbed and taken.

I enjoyed the episode overall. Gave it a 7. Would have been a 5 without the one eyed dog and the cool song though.

The car that took Beth, it had a Cross painted on the back of it didn't it? If I had to guess, I think it's the ***COMIC BOOK SPOILERS***

Saviors

I'd also guess that Daryl's new group are ***COMIC BOOK SPOILERS***

the cannibal group

My theory: Daryl's new friends run - or are involved with - Terminus. They seemed to be very well equipped and pretty savvy, and as I said in a previous episode thread my immediate thoughts on this sanctuary were borne from 28 Days Later, where sanctuary in that was a honey-trap. Why scout for supplies when you can have the supplies come to you? Woodbury was sort of like that, but at least the Governor was trying to recreate civlisation: Terminus might be the natural / horrible evolution of that

Did anyone else get the idea that the funeral home was a set up? It just didnt sit right with hubby and myself. The place was incredibly clean and tidy - therefore you would think someone has lived/used it very recently. Stock pile of food etc. although the place didnt actually look used ( dirty dishes, weapons about in case of emergency etc) Seemed to us like a trap to get people to stay a while (clean and safe looking, and food)

Then the dog, somehow it knows they are in there, and to use the front door ( although could be coincidence)

Then all of a sudden there are 20 walkers at the door and darryl doesnt look as he assumes its the dog. Seems like an awful lot of walkers to make it to the front door without accumulating slowly and the noise thing making noise and them being able to manage the situation. Walkers didnt come to the kitchen window where they were making noise/talking. weird.

Then Beth runs out into the night to escape, and conveniently there is a car there with a cross on it (connected to funeral home? are they denominational in the states?) to kidnap her. seemed like a trap to us!

I actually didnt really like the episode very much because I hate bob so I gave it a 4 ( i think?). The only scenes I liked were with darryl and beth. Sasha giving up was annoying. Maggie abandoning them even though theyd agreed to stick together was annoying.

Also how stupid was it for darryl to go into the basement, fair enough if you didnt know what was down there but he knew it was a dead end ffs! always go up eejits!

Seven groups in play now

(1)
Tyresse group where the first to head there(terminus) on Day 2 after battle

(2)
Ricks group followed next , on day three

(3)
Followed by Maggie group probably the next day after that

(4)
Followed by Glenn groups now

(5)
Daryl's new "bandit" group are also on the railway tracks and maybe tracking Rick in revenge... maybe .. or heading for Terminus connected or not
I have a theory that this group may not be all bad as they look

(6)
Beth is god knows where maybe Taken to Terminus

(7) Terminus
Bear in mind Maggie noted on Map how many different tracks led to it
so maybe they all or some on different railways lines ...maybe
Terminus looks like Macon which is 100-150 miles away
according to people who have studied the map.
Sasha said its a long way to it.
I think Terminus is neither a good place or a trap I think it will be
a false dawn somehow or a hoax (1958)

(like the signal in film on the beach 1958)

or it will have been overrun/abandoned by the time they get there and will merely serve as a meeting place for the groups.

8/10
v Good episode

Marks taken away
For Maggie leaving in the night on her todd, WTF
Why is Maggie only looking for Glenn and not her sister?
and Daryl not checking whose outside the door, Stray dogs or not

CastorTroy · 11-03-2014 07:36PM

I'll be very disappointed if no one starts singing "Have Gun Will Travel" while walking along the tracks.

krudler · 11-03-2014 08:34PM

That scene where Daryl heard a dog but not a dozen walkers RIGHT OUTSIDE THE DOOR was just another example of how utterly stupid this show can be at times,

I wonder if it'll turn out that this scene was set before the one where Rick meets this group and turns out Daryl was in the house while Rick was...

maybe ... I don't think so
Rick spent two nights in house that we saw , where as Darly and Beth spend 3 nights together at least
Although one of guys in Pic has an UZI which is the weapon(rare weapon) Rick took off guy he killed but that guy does not look like him i think

Dempsey · 11-03-2014 11:00PM

Wouldn't the black guy that was KO'd in the bedroom be still with them?

When rick killed the guy in bathroom, he left door open , The guy turned into a biter causing a distraction which allowed rick to escape its possible the biter bit the black guy
OR
The "black" guy is the guy on far right of photo
they have the same headgear

Ok gave this a six for the same reason, maggie going awol, Daryl not checking behind doors and sash giving up seems crappy. Beth suddenly going missing, Daryl will not leave that slip even if hes now caught up with these new guys. I think this is going to lead them to terminus oh god I hope it isn't going to be like the Woodbury! I think Daryl and the new guys are well met but Daryl is wise enough not to get caught out however we do know that Rick did not approve their presence.

Also the window just falling out of the frame like that was plain silly.

in terms of stupid things the characters did, playing a piano whose sound probably carried for hundreds of yards wasn't terribly bright, but opening the funeral home door without checking first was probably the dumbest thing to happen in that episode. Not impressed.

Anyone notice this minor detail when Daryl was talking to Joe, he has really yellow teeth, like noticably decayed
Comic Spoiler

isn't really decayed teeth usually associated as a feature of cannibals? Going by previous iterations of cannibals potrayed in other movies. Could this group be the cannibals from the comic?

Couple this with the suggestion that Daryl could "hurt some people" with that group and 2 of the group nearly killing each other over who gets to sleep in a bed? These guys are bad news, I know it.

Yep, that was my first thoughts of who they might be.

Thargor · 13-03-2014 12:09PM

Seriously what was with Maggie sleeping on the ground in front of the ice cream truck with a load of walkers apparently sleeping around her? They all stood up when they heard a noise. What was supposed to be going on there? And another window falling out of its frame when someone touches it AGAIN? They couldnt think of anything else that might cause a noise there. There really is some moronic writing on this show. So bored of traintracks/woods now aswell, this dragged out go to Sanctuary/away from sanctuary is just that timewasting search for the little girl crap that burned through a whole season all over again. Lazy, lazy writing.

I enjoyed this week thought it was good and gave it 7, yeah I was shocked at Daryl opening the door but I think they were at ease and it was trying to show how you can't let your guard down. Did those walkers get up when Maggie did? I thought they were dead ones? I was glad they built out Bob a little I actually like him now.
Its really building now to be exciting, who has beth, what's the crack with the gang Daryl is with, where are Rick and Michonne. Is Terminus good/bad, I still think its a great show.

Maggie told Sasha she encountered too many walkers to fight off, so I took it as she was using them as camouflage to hide until it was safe to get up.
Many of the survivors have used walkers to disguise their human smell. Maggie was just doing the same thing.
We've previously seen Rick, Glenn, Daryl, T-Dog and Michonne do the same thing. She sat up so suddenly because she was startled by the window falling, otherwise she likely would've stayed there a while longer
She had smeared herself with walker blood.

I'm a week behind so I only caught Episode 13 now.

I didn't enjoy it as much as the much maligned Episode 12, which I thought was really strong. I like the that they are fleshing out the characters, but this episode was flawed for me. I had a problem with the writing throughout the episode - I thought some of the dialogue was ropey (right from the cold opening where Bob meets Daryll and Glenn) and a lot of the Maggie/Bob/Sasha things didn't ring quite true for me, like Sasha resisting the search for Terminus, leaving Bob to set up in the building alone, and Maggie lying amongst the walkers. Then there were some goofy things like Bob's impenetrable zombie-proof bandages and Daryll's failure to hear a horde of zombies outside the door until he had opened it. In saying that, though, I thought the stronger elements of the episode came from Daryll and Beth's arc (even if the threatened romance is needless and pretty creepy).
