Walking Dead thread 4.2 (part 2)

[HighlanderMam]

Everyone is saying that tonights episode is the best yet, baby needs to sleep so I can watch it!

Carol looks as though she'd be quite tough too. I know it's wrong but everything is pointing to barbecued Judith.

limited lol they're not going to bbq Judith! Lol (!)

I definitely think they're going to BBQ very though!

Beth!! Not very

curious I don't think terminus is in the comics.

How can terminus be a safe haven it promised if they're going to eat people though?

To lure people in?

I agree, I think they are luring people in and BBQing the old/unfit to feed everyone else. I think Terminus is a breeding farm for humans and Mary was definately pregnant. If that is the case most of the group will be okay but Carol and will be on the BBQ as she is probably too old.

curiousgeorgie there's no 'Terminus' in the comics, but there is a 'sanctuary' and it's not good. If terminus does turn out to be sanctuary in the comics, that would explain the 'brutality' mentioned and it could mean one of the main characters dies, as one of the main characters is killed by the leader of sanctuary in the comics. A lot of fans think it's too early in the stories for that to happen yet though and deaths do get swapped around from comics to TV. (It wasn't hershall's head the governors chopped off in the comics I don't think)

Could the 'those that arrive survive' tag be significant? Could it be meaning those that arrive under their own steam are OK where as those that are captured and rounded up like Beth don't? Or is it a religious thing? The thought of cannibalism is horrible, maybe they think it is to stop people turning into walkers so they think they are doing good?

I really have no idea but it won't be good!!!

My one thought about Terminus is, being as it's relatively small, and given the troubles Rick's group had in defending their own 'safe haven' - why would the residents of Terminus advertise its presence and encourage people to come?

I mean, it's one thing setting up a safe haven and accepting newcomers. It's another to encourage as many as possible to come with all those signs and potentially drawing in bad guys. They wouldn't have room for that many people....

I've deleted it now. Stupid of me. I didn't notice that Mary might be pregnant and didn't get the significance of the BBQ. But I think you lot might be right.

I did think it was odd that no one else was around and it was so easy to get in, so I'm not that daft.

Feeding people on recycled humans is a theme in Soylent Green. But in TWD there's loads of fresh wild meat - deer and rabbits and I guess there would be cattle and sheep that would have escaped. You could eat horses if you wanted to.

You could farm rabbits and chickens without much room.

Pigs are very accommodating. It's sad because they're so smart that they actually are happy to be farmed, unlike sheep who seem on a mission to kill themselves in inventive ways. But pork is nice, sweet meat, as Mrs Farmer says in Babe.

And wasn't human flesh described as long pig by cannibals

I also thought the cannibal story-line, in fact as soon as Mary turned round DH turned to each other and said cannibal simultaneously. I've read a few articles hinting at that since too, not that anyone knows for sure!

I think Beth was snatched by them to eat, would be very grim if Maggie accidentally eats her own sister, Eew.

I see posters also noted the Mary/painting, this pic is a good comparison.

So similar! Also the sunflowers. O dear!

I don't think Beth was taken by anyone at terminus, but I could be wrong. I don't think she'll be eaten or one to die in the next episode. I think we might not find out what happened to her until next season maybe. Of course, I may well be wrong....

I think beth will be found by daryl and his horrible gang, and someone will yell "claimed" to her and daryl will end up killing Joe.

I think they will then show up at terminus together.

I think Daryl well have to kill the gang, either because they come across Rick or Beth

I'm pretty sure one of Daryl's new friends is going to try to claim Coral and all hell will break loose.

I can handle anyone dying but Carol or Judith. :(

There's lots of speculation that Beth is on the grill but I think she is alive and we'll see her next season.

I'm convinced the actress who plays Beth rocked up in the following the other night which makes me think she's on the BBQ.

She was in the Following but just briefly.

If anyone dies I hope it's her, which sounds mean but I'm just not attached to her. Also if they go in a romantic direction with her and Daryl I won't watch anymore and I'd miss it!

I think beth will be found by daryl and his horrible gang, and someone will yell "claimed" to her and daryl will end up killing Joe.

I think you've nailed it there Blue that's my theory too.

The whole 'You're good people Darryl' stuff from Beth was just setting the scene for this. As was Joe explaining the 'claimed' rule.

Darryl will have to choose between sticking with his new gang, or being a good person.

AWimba - good sleuthing on that picture. Yes, it's definitely her, so she's definitely disturbed. Wonder if she set up the mass suicide at that house, perhaps she coaches people into it.

Ooh can't wait till Monday!

I missed that. Where did the picture come from? And sunflowers?
