Yeah, they come up with an elaborate plan to shoot at the feet of people running to herd them, which in itself is a bunch of tv bullshit, and everyone happens to show up at just the right doors to calculatedly herd people they let very easily get away, run past human bones, run through their altar room, to herd them right where they want them.... to what isn't a dead end, so you can have them walk themselves to a train car full of their friends who make no noise at hear a lot of gun shots and conversation right outside, where they've cornered them, except for the fact while they're standing at the train car they've got no line of sight, most of the people aren't in a position to actually apprehend the prisoners, and instead they're going to trust them to walk into the train car instead of everyone in the train car and standing in line just running out the fucking open and unguarded section past the train cars that most of the people with guns couldn't really access due to standing dramatically behind fences and on top of various levels of roofing. I get that it's not plausible since, you know, the people taken prisoner in a train car apparently couldn't hear gunshots, footsteps, and shouting from right outside, and only seemed to be curious as to what was going on when it was their cue to melodramatically walk out of the shadows.
ALL that fucking planning and they couldn't even create a fucking dead end to run them toward?
The writers took what could be really simple and plausible and make it retarded for the sake of bullshit melodrama. Why? Because the idiots that watch this show will believe it the same way they were impressed the A-team could shoot out tires of brown 80's cars with one shot!
Shooting at people's feet to herd them is one of the most idiotic tropes around. Stop falling for dumb shit, even if the characters have dumb lines confirming it.
And then your best guess is if people accept the meat they get to stay? Never mind the shit written on the walls of their cheesy candle-lit ritual room? That basically spells out they've got their crew and if you aren't in their cult you'll get eaten? I guess because a character didn't out-right say it as if they knew they were in a tv show being watched by morons, it can't be true.
Let's remember, in the actual zombapcalypes, more people doesn't mean more safety and more security, just more liability. And in reality shooting 2 feet from someone to herd them to make sure they aren't shot is pretty shitty shooting.
But, sorry, my point wasn't that I didn't understand what the show was trying to make me believe, but that it was fucking retarded. And not being a retard, I'm inclined not to believe it, much less defend it. Shit show. Shit writing. Can't wait for more.
Also, biting out someone's neck so they pretty much instantly die is completely plausible! It's a good thing the natural human reaction of fuckers about to kill and rape a little boy is to stand shocked while it happens long enough for your whole crew to get killed!

Not loose ends, but cliffhangers so deft they don't even have to melodramatically shove them down our throats! Just forget about them and let them show up at a later date. It's actually some of the better writing they've done.

i would have liked to have seen some payoff on what happened to Beth and they trolled us with hints that maggie or glenn would get killed. that aside, it was a good episode for walking dead and overall it was the best season since the show started. even though it was obvious foreshadowing, i liked when earlier rick explains to carl how to make a good wabbit trap you create a funnel to drive the wabbits into, then later the same thing happens to his crew.
im happy with it, yes there was dumb shit on top of dumb shit. that happens on a show this popular. smart shows tend not to be so widely received. best part they concluded the season with few holdovers. beth isnt that important, they shit the bed by letting The Gov ride off into the sunset. at the end of last season i will be back for season 5.
oh and did carl get buttraped or almost buttraped?

you fucks are just wasting your time writing big ass walls of text about this show and the stupid shit that happens. lol Its been happening, it will always happen. Its based of a fucking comic book thats pretty much the same shit. Either,just enjoy the mindless crap that happens, or just move the fuck on. Too much of a struggle to complain about it all. lol

Wow so much hate at a TV show, wasn't like you had to watch it. I find myself watching it now finding things and minor issues that I know that people will complain about on-line. "Oops, they won't like that."
I liked the episode, mostly that face-off with the 'Claimed!!' guys. It was mean, brutal and forced Rick to step out of his normal self and turn animal to do what had to happen
It was good to see a hardcore fight, as most of the zombie kills had been seeming quite routine.
And sure I would have liked it if there was more screen-time spent at Terminus. But the good side being that they are setting up to have a run of several episodes there at the start of next season. So that should be good.

I thought it was good. Although it didn't feel like a 'season ending' episode, just another character development one (rick). One nitpick is if he was burying those weapons outside of Terminus, it would of made more sense to keep one person (Michonne or Daryl) outside until they gave the all clear that everything was ok. It's obvious now that they are going to get rescued by Carol and Tyreese as they (plus beth) are unaccounted for.

I doubt Beth will factor into the rescue. She is either a Garret concubine, food, or somewhere else. The somewhere else would be the most likely, as that would let them move on to the next setting for the show.
It will be Tyrese and Carol, with Tyrese playing Tenchi: Hammer Assassin.

Yeah, that dude dying was hilarious. It was also funny when they sneak into Terminus undetected, but then like 20 minutes later, there's a perfectly coordinated sniper team outside the fence when they trap them in. Anyway, they are milking the shit out of this show. They just spent the entire season walking to Terminus basically.

what was the point of that dude dying, in the entierty of the show, we've never randomly heard someone yell "heeeeeelllpppp", ye tonight, some random dude in an open field stands there looking at all the zombies coming at him and just yells "help". He had no weapons, no backpack, no nothing... where did he come from, who was he, was he evicted from terminus... should have put a star trek red shirt on him and called it a day.

"Lets make flash backs about how rick is farming, as a subtext to the fact that he's about to become the live stick that they were herding."
hue hue hue so clevur.
On the bright side, game of thrones is next week!

edit: ^^^ the entire point of him was to give an unnecessary gore scene. That is all.

The poor guy knew if he looked at, or ran to the camera he'd never get a spot on a show again as an extras. Same with the zombies knowing to not fill in all the way around him because they'd block the shot and have to do the scene again.
At this point the more interesting show would be a show about making a zombie show, since the writing is such shit that even the zombies seem to realize they're just in a bad show at this point.

Pretty sure it was to show that Rick is no longer going to help anyone but his people. He's not going to let Carl risk his life for that of a stranger. He's not going to take anyone and everyone in. He'll protect his own, and to the death. Us against them. A lesson the cannibals apparently learned themselves, creating a foil? But maybe more refined as no longer is it some semblance of good vs evil, but just our survival vs theirs? Self-interest being the motivating factor, ability to survive winning the day.
Hah, JK, pretty sure it was just there because they'd already paid for the makeup and didn't feel they had enough zombies to keep the masses turning a blind eye to everything else.

Cannibalism in this world seems pretty dumb to me. Especially in the south, less than 2 years since the world went to shit. There's no way that in a world where 99% of humans don't exist anymore these people ran out of food that quickly. I get it's a trope for anything post-apocalyptic, but come on.
I know, I know. Worthless thinking to that level with this show, but will season 5 have Thunderdome?
