The Walking Dead (official thread, 'clams not allowed)

Tyrese is going to come save the day right?  Maybe he somehow leads a bunch of Walkers to Terminus and they overtake the city but everyone is safe in the railcar.  I really have no idea where this show is going but if Rick is in charge nobody will eff with the group.

[ChiComCat]

If Terminus is cannibals, I don't understand the set up.  You would have to eat the people quick.  Otherwise you are wasting food to fatten them up and why not just eat the food.  If you don't feed them there isn't much meat.  I would think people have a 3 day shelf life if you want them somewhere near their prime.

You only want to butcher them whenever you are out of meat. You would only have to toss your table scraps into the train car to keep them alive until you are ready for them.

I would think the key would be steady flow of new people, which maybe they get.  They seem to have electricity.  I would think you butcher them early while they are still at their meatiest and preserve the meat in a freezer.

I didn't notice the electricity. I agree with that, if they actually can run a freezer.

They were on radios and computers in that first room

[schreds21]

Wasn't there a bunch of empty powdered milk packages on the ground outside of the rail car?  Maybe they're using that to fatten them up.

Oh, that's right.

That was my impression as well.

I was really hoping the episode would leave us with a HOLY crap I can't believe we have to wait until next season. But it didnt

Yup, they have electricity but they don't have the ability to play a radio broadcast on a loop so that old lady has to sit there and say "Those who arrive survive" over and over again.  This show man, it goes full Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) every week but I'm hooked for life anyway.

This.  it just makes me so angry.  but i keep watching.  i've nobody to blame but myself.  i know this. 

i mean, start to finish, the finale was just plain terrible.

couple questions about terminus.  the horribly inaccurate shooting was intentional, no?  like, it was a highly organized way of guiding them to the boxcar?  Also, what was the story with the leader making them walk one-by-one to the boxcar and line up in front of it before they could enter?  just a few of a season-full of head scratchers.

Yes,the shooting was intentionally bad in order to "herd" them towards the box car.  As opposed to other gun battles where the bad guys are just plain terrible shots.  I have no idea what the significance of lining them up one by one was for.

Show control? Put fear into the heart of Rick?

[ew2x4]

Yes, obviously guiding them into the car. No idea regarding the order. Probably to build up tension on if they would kill carl or not at the end.

or maybe just bad, nonsensical screen writing?

[ydarg2012]

I liked how they decided to scope things out before they entered Terminus by just hopping the fence and walking right up to people.

and just some how missed the pile of bones in the cage on their way in...

They basically spent 0% of the time actually scouting the situation out.  I'm shocked they didn't take note of the population before heading in.  Seems like a huge contradiction to what those people would actually do.

yeah. let's be real careful about breaking in so they can find us almost immediately.

The horrible shooting guiding them to the open area was supposed to mirror Rick's snare trap from the beginning of the episode.

Lining up one by one was probably just done to show control.

I do not understand why they know that they can make themselves invisible to zombies by smearing zombie juice on their arms, or by putting jawless/armless zombie on a dog leash, and yet they do not do it.

I also do not understand why, after dealing with first paradise city that turns out to be run by maniac governor, so many of them couldn't wait to rush to the next paradise city on the map

And yet, I watch

The problem is that the zombies are so stupid and ineffective that the people basically need to be morons in order for the show to have any suspense. You know those cheesy horror flicks where the dumbass hot chick just can't seem to get away from the knife wielding fiend that can't run or jump? That's every character in this show except uglier.

[Cire]

loved the finale.

[puniraptor]

I haven't read the picture books, but it is truly a blessing that walking dead is so different from what happens it them, picture book people can't really eff it up for picture show people

[OK_Cat]

Stop speculating, puniraptor
