Walking Dead Season 4

LM - Herschel is at the top of the list for obvious reasons. But I hated to see Dale go down in season 2. I liked his character, especially when he confronted Shane. The fact that Carl had the chance to take out the walker that killed Dale made his death preventable.

I didn't think the writers would kill Rick off, but he looked God-awful in this first episode. Laying on that couch, he looked like he would shuffle off his mortal coil.
 
They were definitely teasing us with the idea that Rick might die and suddenly turn. As Carl sat in the living room, they always kept Rick in the shot, lying still behind him. I'm just glad they're out of the prison and the Governor is gone.
 
I was very pleased with the first episode back from the mid-season break.

The only part I didn't care for so much was Michonne's dream. I would have preferred an actual flashback.
 
I think it was Dale... that was just gut-wrenching. He had his annoying moments, but he also was better than anyone else at pulling things back to a moral compass. And I always thought it was amusing that he spent the entire show with the same expression of shocked horror and confusion.
 
I didn't love last night's episode. I thought the Beth and Daryl acting was sub par. And I would be sick of that baby quick. Sorry, Judith!

The only part I really enjoyed was the Glen/Tara storyline.
 
Rick's harrowing escape from the band of raiders was a nail biter.

Dr. Mullet has douchebag written all over him. This idiot blows holes the truck's gas tank and then proclaims to Abraham Ford that he's smarter than him. . .

I will enjoy seeing walkers eat his gizzards.
 
Ummmmmm..........wow.

Last nice was hands down the most messed up episode on the Walking Dead - it was awesome, but disturbing.

"Liza, just look at the flowers"
 
I have bad feeling about Terminus. It may make Woodbury look like Disneyland.
 
Daryl and the band of Not-So-Merry-Mauraders are on a collision course with Rick-Carl-Michione. When they finally cross paths, I'm expecting fireworks when Joe realizes Rick strangled his buddy in the restroom.

Weird Mary and the eerie Terminus remind me of Jonestown. Season finale should be wild.
 
I avoided this thread until I could finally catch up on the DVR to see the final episode. Pretty disappointed that there has been no discussion.

So, is Terminus some sort of cannibal cult? The room with candles was ominous. What were they working on? It looks to me like they had lots of maps. I thought the chase scene was culminating in the final statement of "they'll be sorry they messed with the wrong group of people" was forced.

Now...the seminal moment of the episode...Rick biting the jugular of Daryl's merry band leader was off the hook.

Rick definitely went BEAST MODE. His darkness has everyone around him nervous, even his own son.

I'm most fascinated by the Rick Grimes storyline and the turn it has taken.

Farmer Rick died with Joe the Marauder in a pool of blood and Rick the Survivalist was born (or reborn?). The flashback scenes to the prison, Herschel, the Council, and his neo-pacifism are now days of yore. The Prison commune went up in flames under the attack by the Governor. Now, Rick the Survivalist fights by any means necessary - even if it means being a brutal and savage killer.

But, when he called Daryl his brother, it brought their lost souls full circle. And it showed that Rick still has a measure of humanity and hasn't given up on life as he once knew it - a life based on some semblance of family relationships. Rick and Daryl are now "brothers" meaning Rick implicitly trusts Daryl as "uncle" to Carl (and Judith) too.

In Shane, Rick lost a close friend and fellow cop-in-arms. At the Prison, Rick lost his wife, Lori, his father figure in Herschel, and Judith, his daughter (although he doesn't know she's alive). All he has left is Carl. Daryl lost his brother, Merle. And he's lost Carol and Beth (he doesn't know Carol is alive and Beth's status is unknown), the only two characters that the otherwise loner Daryl has gotten close to. They've lost just about everyone who was at the Prison. These two men are as lonely as they've ever been.

Rick and Daryl have always cooperated for the sake of the group but I don't think they were "close" to each other. Now, their brotherhood is borne out of their shared suffering and survival. And the fact that they saved each other from certain death at the hands of people, not walkers.

If not for Daryl deciding not to abandon Joe and the Marauders and stumbling into the holdup scene, Rick, Michione and Carl would have been at the mercy (or lack thereof) of the entire group and almost certain death. But Daryl's intervention results in Joe ordering "discipline" for Daryl, i.e. the beating. That evens the numbers for Rick and gives him just enough of an opening to go for the jugular (pun intended!). By killing Joe, Rick saves everyone, including Daryl.

The walkers are an omnipresent threat to everyone. The more dramatic and compelling story lines, though, involve the the threats that people are to each other, e.g. the Governor, Joe and the Marauders, and now, Terminus, where it does appear that cannibalism is practiced. The stage is set for yet another confrontation between Rick's Clan and this new threat.

The Termites at Terminus have yet to see Rick go BEAST MODE. . .
 
My predictions:

1. Someone in the trailer will be eaten
2. Someone will escape, and find Tyrese and Carol, and they will rescue the gang. Rick and Daryl will go Commando on Terminus
3. Beth will turn up unharmed, along with whatever new character was in the car with her
