Really enjoyed that!

And now we know what happened! Really good episode, imo.. Lovin this season so far!!

Excellent episode, 9/10, would have been a 10 if the scene near the end didn't take so long between 2 characters I don't really care about. Great cliffhanger at the end too.

That was very good.

Something I'm loving about this season so far is that it's not at all predictable, I really feel like anything could happen next.

I thought that we'd be hanging around Terminus for the bulk of the season. That one was knocked out of the park after 1 episode.

Below is from this episode...

Then I thought the termites / fine young cannibals would hunt them and pick them off over the course of the season. Nope.

I thought that Tyrese not killing that guy in the cabin would come back to haunt him. Wrong again.

I thought the termites would turn at some point after eating Bob.

I thought there would be a big reveal about how the priest is actually a really bad dude as opposed to a plain old coward. I appear to be wrong again. (though this one is still open)

All of this makes me feels like the writers aren't afraid to throw us a few curve balls and red herrings. It makes it all the more enjoyable when we get scenes like

the one in the church, I just didn't see that coming at all.

Enjoyed that. Kind of wanted to see the terminus guys

get sick/turn from Bob's Burger's

but what transpired was admittedly far more dramatic.

Did anyone watch the sneak peak of next week's episode? Seems to be very focused on

Beth, who seems to be in civilisation?

. Could be interesting.

Washington seems to be the next Terminus.

Enjoyable episiode, quite dark both literally and figuratively.

Quote of the ep : "We didn't want to waste the bullets"

Hande hoche! · 27-10-2014 01:27PM

Surprised by how quickly they dealt with the Terminus aspect this season. Next's week one should be a bit different.

Brilliant episode - brought possibly my favourite moment from the comics to life with TAINTED MEAT!!!

Anyone help remind me what happened Beth? I have no memory of when she left the group, was she separated from Daryl last season? (I guess I do remember something...)

She was abducted in a black car with a cross on the back of it last season.

Any ideas why the letter A was painted on the side of the church for?

Also had Bob been dragged back to the church by the terminus crew or did he make his own tainted way back?

The idea of Bob being bitten was a red herring.

Well, I was totally wrong about this then!

Nervous Wreck · 27-10-2014 05:01PM

Great episode and, imo, a turning point for the following reasons:

From the start of the show, way back in season one, the show has attempted to have more than one thread going. It did this perfectly in Season one by having focus on Rick trying to find his family and on his family and their group trying to stay safe. When Rick eventually did find them, he had real motivation to leave them again (getting a bunch of guns he'd left behind and going back for Merle; an act which also helped to cement his good character).

After season one, there were a load of contrivances put in to separate the group out a bit so that it wasn't just about some dudes sitting on a farm. There was the search for Sophia, runs for medication, the kid who Rick and Shane were getting rid of, more supply runs, characters getting separated etc etc etc.

But none of them really worked because the story wasn't moving or changing enough. Someone was going off for supplies but, back at the prison, everything was staying the same. Daryl was searching for Sophia but, back at the farm, everything was staying the same.

Going forward, we now have 2 groups that we actually care about. The core group are staying where they are until they try get shít sorted with Daryl, Carol and Beth (presumably, next week's episode will be 'Previously on Beth') and we have the other group heading to Washington. The other group wouldn't really matter except Glenn and Maggie are with them so it'll actually be something worth watching. Now, after 4 seasons, they've finally gotten back to the point where the two main stories that are running concurrently will actually matter. I look forward to this.

They're really not dragging things out this season, which is good. Better than last week's easily. Really didn't expect the Terminus guys to be thwarted so handily.

Excellent episode. This season is really upping the ante!

Box Car A was where they kept their prisoners.

Very very enjoyable episode. That long shot from outside of the church and everything that followed on from there in the church had me on the edge of my seat. Bloody gruesome too!

Me neither, although I guess it emphasises the point that Rick is (literally) taking no prisoners this time round - they outsmarted the enemy and dispatched them without any kerfuffle, moral to-ing and fro-ing or hesitation. Will we see more of the Termites in flashback I wonder, or would that be extraneous to the storyline....seems like a lot of build up and backstory for them to just be gone so soon.

Why did Abraham say that Glenn and Maggie have to go with them on the bus?

I'm actually surprised Glenn and Maggie went, what with Beth being the only family Maggie technically has left. You'd think she'd at least want to go looking?

Great when they follow the comics so closely yet have a whole new story with daryll and the mystery person in the hedge.

I hate the 'next week on...' bit. Came on way too fast with a big spoiler for next week. Very annoying when you don't wanna know.

Mr.Prodston · 27-10-2014 11:29PM

I'm absolutely loving this season. It all feels fresh and it's great to be kept on your toes throughout. I really enjoyed the 2nd half of last season too while others appeared not to.

My only problem is the whole Maggie being quite happy to bugger off to Washington while Beth was stolen by the Car people. Is it an oversight or just hoping the audience won't notice the slight leap in logic?

It also means they didn't have to have a huge cull. There was way too many members as one big group.

Crackin season, lovin it so far, writers have really upped the tempo

I think it was a plot device more than anything. Would anyone really care if anything happened to Tara? I know I wouldn't and I'm not really attached to the trio yet but I do care about Glenn and Maggie. When they agreed to go, Maggie wasn't aware that Daryl has a lead on Beth.

Is season 5 will be the last?
