We now know that Terminus isn't the oasis the group thought it would be, and the crew being back together is a big deal after being splintered.

We also have an end to the Claiming group's story arc, in dramatic fashion.

Carol has come clean to Tyreese, and the girls are gone.

That's just off the top of my head, though.

And, hey, if that's not what you're looking for, I get that. Doesn't mean you can't appreciate a good show, nor does it mean the show is shite, you get what I'm saying?

See, this I don't get. I understand where the cannibal thing is coming from on the internet if you've been doing reading over the past few weeks, but did I miss the past of this episode where we found out they were really cannibals, or is everyone just assuming they are because they're looking for the type of conflict/resolution for this season that I am?

I read the internet/comic speculation, but I must have missed where that became real.

I don't read about the show on the internet aside from these threads (and I haven't read the comics). I got the cannibal thing from the skeletons I saw during the episode while they were running around.

So, yeah, a bit of an assumption on my part, but damn if it doesn't get you thinking.

Read the comics... you'll get it. I mean I hate to throw out spoilers... but if you haven't figured out they're cannibals after they ran by a gated area of defleshed human skeletons tonight then you are just in denial.

I read some of the speculation this week about the cannibal thing, and I agree that's what's going on, but I try to leave what I read on the internet by the wayside when I watch the show. I don't worry about spoilers much because I prefer to watch the show either way.

I bring this up because if I hadn't been reading about cannibals all week in relation to the Terminus thing I'd probably have missed the skeletons or dismissed them as animal carcasses.

The show as it is just hasn't set it up as well as I'd like, but I guess the guessing is part of the attraction.

well no shite, they don't wanna ruin it for those that don't wanna know what's going on... they do a really good job hiding it and making it different to begin with.. all the way up to the end of the last episode I didn't now what terminus was for sure... and even going into this episode I wasn't sure even though I've read the comics. the shocker for show watchers will be when they realize terminus is full of cannibals, the shocker for comic book readers was when they realized terminus was the cannibal people... for you it sucks cause you are in the middle.

I guess as a show watcher and occasional internet speculation reader I expected to know something more tonight, and I really don't.

Like I said before, if they wound up eating Beth I'd have been a lot happier with this episode and this season because I'd know where everything stood.

As of right now, as far as I'm concerned, we're just waiting six months between episodes.

Well to be honest I did kind of expect them to find Beth or one of the glen/maggie group missing a limb in the train cart that had become tonight's BBQ plate special.

The pile of fileted skeletons they ran past wasn't enough? I mean not being observant is on you.

This latest half-season was definately slow until the last couple episodes. I think it was unavoidable after killing off such a good villain. I'm at least glad to see Rick is done being a whiney bitch.
