I can’t stand guys like the ones from Joe’s group. Honestly, I’m not digging that particular storyline at all. They crossed Rick’s way, but there was not enough of a build up for them to matter as the villains of the season finale. Also, I just want Daryl to get away from them and back to his original gang.<br /><br />As for Terminus, I do believe it’s a nice place. Am I too naïve? I’m actually worried for the place, because wherever our characters go to it’s just a matter of time until destruction and death ensue.<br /><br />Glenn and Maggie’s reunion was lovely and badass at the same time. Maggie burning her own photograph was a very dark move. My view is that she can’t stand anything that represents her past life (before zombies, at the farm, and at the prison) and so she destroyed the picture.Lamounierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225447169375363236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-22012378370520001252014-04-01T02:49:38.208-04:002014-04-01T02:49:38.208-04:00Just a heads up, Rosita and Tara were promoted to ...Just a heads up, Rosita and Tara were promoted to series regulars for next season.

Wanted to...Thanks for the great reviews, Drnanmom.<br /><br />Wanted to mention that Greg Nicotero put a nice Easter egg in this ep for fans of the George Romero movies - one of the zombies in the tunnel was Bub, from Day Of The Dead,the walker who the mad scientist tried to tame and rehabilitate.

I'm not ready to lose anyone in my little group of faves, and that includes Maggie, Glenn, Daryl and Michonne.<br /><br />Terminus must be a bad place. Freeman, I bet you're right that they're cannibals. On <i>The Talking Dead</i>, they did a poll on Terminus, and 89% chose the option that Terminus is worse than Woodbury. And of course, this is a show where no one lives happily ever after.

Of course, they are almost guaranteed to leave us in a bad place, so more anticipation and dread no doubt await. Except over months this time. :)<br /><br />I'm trying to make mental peace with possibly losing Maggie, but at the same time, I'm totally stressed about who might go, if not her. I can probably cope with losing some of the second-tier characters, but they are just starting to develop several of them, and I'd like to see their stories progress. At the same time, I'm pretty attached to all the major characters, so I don't want to lose any of them either. Especially since lots of them are starting to develop and strengthen new connections. Ack! What the hell is wrong with me? Why am I so into a show that puts me through this? It really is like a bad relationship. :)Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-36092644952471888082014-03-26T10:05:53.949-04:002014-03-26T10:05:53.949-04:00@Jesse and Freeman - Yikes, you both have really d...@Jesse and Freeman - Yikes, you both have really dark ideas of what is going to happen next! I'm not sure it is healthy to be looking forward to and at the same time, dreading the next episode of this show. I never even thought that they might kill off Maggie so soon and cannibals didn't enter into my imaginings either! Unfortunately, you may both be right. If I had to choose between Maggie and Glenn I would say that Maggie (being a kick-ass woman) is going to go down. There seems to be a quota for them on the show.drnanamomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667806039402426676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-68471026644134809982014-03-26T00:16:42.336-04:002014-03-26T00:16:42.336-04:00It's gotta be cannibals. The way the meat was ...It's gotta be cannibals. The way the meat was just sitting there cooking while she was greeting them seemed kinda tell-tale. I also think the photo burning is a foreshadowing of Maggie's death. Now he'll have nothing at all to remember her by. They'll probably do a fake-out to make it look like Glenn will die to mess with comic book readers then pull a switcharoo. Or it's possible they'll do a double fake-out and Glenn will die anyways. Heck, maybe BOTH will die.<br /><br />Eugene is obviously being set up to be revealed as a fraud somewhere down the line. the little beats between him and Rosita and even Tara seem to indicate a cowardly liar with a hyperactive imagination or even a pathological liar. The again he could just be an idiot. I'm still curious to know why Abe trusts him so implicitly though. I like Rosita and Abe, I know at least one of them's gotta bite the dust eventually, but seeing as Rosita seems like the more level-headed one, I hope she sticks around.<br /><br />Still not sure where Daryl fits in this whole thing. I agree it seems very unlikely that he'll kill anyone from the group but if that's the case, what's the point of him sticking around? Maybe it'll be one of those situations where he helps them kill a bunch without seeing their faces until the last minute.Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11265555641080269765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-90689022429876346272014-03-25T23:29:31.228-04:002014-03-25T23:29:31.228-04:00I was thinking the same thing on the half resoluti...I was thinking the same thing on the half resolution, Doc. It seems like there are too many balls in the air now to resolve everything in only one episode. I’ve seen lots of creepy theories re: what may be the real deal with Terminus (cannibals, breeding cult, religious nuts, etc.). Maybe they’ll surprise us and it will be a great place! Which our characters will then inadvertently destroy. Because whether it is too good to be true or not, “good things” don’t ever last for this crew. In the meantime, we’ll just have to cling to the few moments of joy and lightness we got this week. :)<br /><br />I think the photo burning was ominous foreshadowing. At first, I thought it was a sweet reflection of their faith in each other, but the more I thought on it, the more it just seemed like doom for Maggie. I’m now fairly well convinced she’s going to be the big season finale death. Strangely, I’m not completely traumatized by the idea. I don’t <i>want</i> Maggie to die. What I’d really like is for the writers to start defining her and Glenn by more than their love for or need to find each other. But, if the writers aren’t capable of pulling that off (and lately it seems like they aren’t), then killing one of them might potentially lead to better character development for the other. I’d rather see them go with Option 1, but I’m bracing for Option 2.<br />Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.com
