Re: The Walking Dead -- "Us" -- 3/23/14
I know it's not supposed to be realistic, but was anyone else screaming at the TV when Glenn and Tara decided to just stop in the middle of the tunnel to have a long conversation by flashlight? If I'm going into a tunnel during a zombie apocalypse, my one and only goal is to get to the other side as fast as humanly possible. And I'd probably be trying to construct a torch of some kind and not use up all the batteries in my flashlight.

But Rick still manages to find time to trim his beard. It's been the same length since he woke up in the hospital.

If Beth is dinner, even odds that they'll be a Maggie (unbeknownst to her) eating Beth scene? If this show were on HBO/Cinemax, it would have already happened. Except under totally different circumstances.

If Maggie dies next week after having Beth burgers, then it really drives home the point that Rick and his group are bad news for whomever they encounter. I would imagine Herschel is waiting in the afterlife to punch Rick in the nose and kick him in the crotch.

Loved these comments from another forum:
Terminus could not seem more like a "Trap!" if there was a banner over the gate that said "Free Puppies Inside" and the buildings were painted to look like they were made of candy.
No guards, unlocked gate. Seems legit.

I'm just afraid with so many people guessing the cannibal plot, the writers will back track only to reveal at the finale of the series that they were all eating each other after all....in a church.

If you're able to sustain a large compound, why rely on people stumbling on your camp and eating them? Why not engage in some actual agriculture and raise animals?

Is it certain that Glenn's group arrived at Terminus first? I figured since we see Rick's group first in this 2nd half season that they were always in the lead on the tracks.

Well, it did look like they had lots of nice little raised garden beds to raise vegetables for the side dishes. What goes well with human flesh?

The candy wrapper just indicates Rick's group is ahead of Daryl's group. Rick also spent at least a day or two holed up in that house. Glenn has likely been moving non-stop since the moment he woke up. It would make sense for him to be farther along.

Not sure if we have a solid timeline for anything, but we do know that Rick's group is ahead of Daryl's group, and Ty and Carol were at staying in the house while Daryl and Beth burned theirs down.
Not a stretch to assume that Glenn and Maggie's groups reached Terminus first.

Unrelated to this episode-- have they indicated that there's an end game for this series, or are they going to run it until there's just nothing left (wouldn't blame them if they did)?
I want to know that they're working towards something, because it's all starting to feel like filler to me.

^ Kirkman has stated he has no real plans to end the comic and that he intends for it to go on for as long as possible. I would imagine it's the same for the series. The world of the Walking Dead isn't going away, the characters just have to survive.
