I've said it previously but the humans in "The Walking Dead" are much worse than the zombies. At least with a zombie you know what you're up against. He won't smile at you and then stab you in the back later. This episode (entitled "A") illustrates that point in both big scenes.
Joes's crew catches up to Rick. They are going to make him pay for the guy he killed in the house. Sorry I don't remember his name. "First we’re going to beat Daryl to death. Then we’ll have the girl. Then the boy. Then we shoot you and then we’ll be square.” said Joe. Rick goes bat shit after seeing Carl almost raped. His ripping out Joe's throat was DEFINITELY the highlight of the episode. I still don't understand why Rick agonizes about such decisions though. You did what you had to do to keep your family alive. Stop worrying about it. PS Didnt that scene remind you of "Deliverance"? You sure do have some purdy lips.
Team Rick reaches Terminus. Obviously something is up. Rick notices that they're wearing Maggie's poncho, have Bob's backpack, and Glenn's watch from Hershel. It looks like they might get away but, after 15 minutes of running around and several hundred rounds of ammo wasted, they are herded to the boxcar area. Remember the trap Rick showed Carl how to set earlier? Well now they're in it. Incidentally the boxcar is labeled "A" as is the building with the freaky writing on the walls.
Don't tell me you didn't see all that coming. Great, now everyone's going to get eaten! I was just hoping no one was hamburger meat already. Is Carol going to have to save their asses too? Only she, Tyreese and Baby Judith are free (unless they arrived first). Heaven forbid.
Other Musings:
- Michonne tells Carl how her baby died. Her boyfriend and friend were high when the zombies attacked. Better lay off the weed and alcohol during the Zombie Apocalypse.
- Did you notice that rib cage and innards they San by when trying to escape?
- I seriously hope Beth has not been turned into chili. I think someone else took her. It doesn't look like the Terminus weirdos drive around looking for victims.
- Is Mary on permanent grill duty?
Favorite Quotes:
- “Today’s the day of reckoning, sir. Restitution. The balancing of the whole damn universe.”- Joe.
- "NEVER AGAIN. NEVER TRUST. WE FIRST, ALWAYS"- on the wall at Terminus.
- "They’re screwing with the wrong people.”- Rick's final sentence of the season. Yes Rick you'll show them!!! Too bad you got yourself locked in a boxcar.
Grade: 3 1/2 Monsters (out of 5). I was disappointed but it's "TWD" so Ill be watching till the bitter end.
