O/T- Walking Dead Finale- POSSIBLE SPOILERS

GhostWhoCooksDinner's picture

Talk to me, peeps! Did you love it or hate it?

I thought it was a. Great episode. Except we don't know what happened to Beth, and we don't know where Carol, Tyreese and Judith are.

I thought Rick's explanation with the rabbit trap, and how "the trail leads to the trap," was a perfect explanation for Terminus. I knew exactly where that one was going.

Rick going savage? Understandable. I'm glad the old Rick is back, with added spine.

Being herded onto the train car was creepily reminiscent of the Holocaust. That gave me chills.

Gotta get ready for work but will be back later. Discuss, fellow fans!

Same here. Definitely a great episode, but not quite finale-worthy. I was shocked, though glad, that no one major was killed off. By far a better finale than season 3, however.

Definitely a dumb move on Rick's part. Maybe now that he's come full circle with his crazy, he'll get his head together. When dealing with oh, you know, cannibals and such, it's usually best to play it cool. Acute

I thought it was one of the best episodes of the entire series so far!

The scene with Daryl's new crew and Rick was just crazy (and unfortunately probably more realistic of what people would be like by the stage in a post-apocalyptic world) I thought Rick was so bad ass and I was glad to see him reunited with Daryl. I liked when he said "you're my brother"

I was so happy when Rick wanted to stake out Terminus and when Michonne was like "we took people in, but so did woodbury" YESS! THANK YOU RICK AND MICHONNE FOR THINKING! I agree with you though that it escalated quickly and 3.5 against however many was not in their favor, they should have been more calculating.

Did you catch when the guy at terminus said "once you become us we get stronger" hmmm?? once you "become us for dinner???"

I am waiting for Carol to show up and tell Terminus to look at the flowers!

I wanted a group reunion, not necessarily in a creepy train car but glad to see the majority alive.

I was happy with the finale, it leaves a lot open but I'm not going to spend all summer wondering if someone is dead or alive.

Walking Dead. ^^^ Great insight. I am going to have to watch it again. I think I was still "staring at the bird" after the gang went nuts on Rick, Mishone and Carl! After reading the posts here, I missed a lot! I did notice that the leader of Terminus said to Rick that if he got on the train, he wouldn't kill his son "NOW." yeah. Carol might save the day on this one and "redeem" herself in Rick's eyes even though I don't think she has anything to apologize to him for.

I reallyreallyreally hope Carol comes in and saves the day. She's my favorite. She gets done what needs to be done, while staying rational and cool.

I missed this too. It's interesting. The writers/directors/creators are so talented. I loved the parallels drawn between Rick literally ripping out Joe's throat and the whole zombie apocalypse. My understanding is that it was straight from the comics, but brilliant!

And Lizzie looks like she could be Mary's daughter. Did you notice how they look so alike? Not that I think she IS, just a coincidence.

I liked it. Happy no one major got killed.

Really wowed by what Rick did. But he had to do whatever he could to protect his son.

I think Rick jumped the gun with freaking out on the Terminus people for sure. He could have been smarter about it.

Glad to see everyone for the most part, back together.

Curious about Beth and where she is. I am thinking the funeral director has her.

Also curious about the Terminus people. How did this group come together? When did they decide okay, from here on out, we only accept people that we can eat?

Other things.... did we hear other voices in the train cars? Or just the groups?

I wonder if Carol and Tyrese already made it there and they are in a train car?

I seriously thought they were going to kill Carl.....Def. canibals if they didnt shoot them dead right away????

Also the flashback with Beth wearing the sheriff hat and Rick saying "there is a no sheriff in town" I think that will mean something in season 5.

I wondered the same about Carol. They showed a glimpse of what looked like powdered milk outside of the train car, I didn't know if that was some cannibal thing or if we were supposed to believe it was for Judith.

I don't know about Beth. I think she is alive and in a bad place. They really opened the door last night for a darker turn on humanity with the Darryl gang. I wonder if next time we see Beth she will be pregnant, innocence gone and Darryl will just unleash.

I was sad hearing Darryl say "Beth is just gone"

Did anyone notice the fenced in yard they all ran past in Terminus when they were getting shot at that showed all these freshly mutiliated human corpses? I'm still thinking they are cannibals.

Rick jumped the gun a little by starting the shoot out.

The candle room was weird.

I thought for sure they were all dead when the Claimed gang showed up. But I literally yelled out loud when Rick ripped the guys throat out and when he gutted that fat bastard like a fish!!

Agree with everything. I am really drawn to Abraham for some reason. I dont know why, I didnt read the comics, he isn't eye candy like Darryl, but for some reason he is intriguing. I hope he sticks around and we get his story. I agree he is a nice addition to the group.

Game of Thrones!! Yaaaay! Love it, but I don't get HbO so we have to wait till it comes out on DVD in February.

Haha! I read an article on him some time ago and it portrayed him as somewhat of an ass and arrogant. It was so cool to see him on TD joking around and looking cleaned up! He was charming. And, "British accents aren't sexy" -said no woman ever!
