[QUOTE=AMC] Survivors rely on brutality and faith. [/QUOTE] Penultimate episode of the season & last week’s sure set the bar high. Steven Yuen and Josh McDermitt are on **Talking Dead**. ---

Yay! Glen saw Maggie’s note! Now, if they would all leave notes for the rest of the group, and Glen had actually read the map before running off… ---

Macheteing the rabbit right through the middle without cleaning out the guts? Dumb, quick way to ruin the meat through contamination, at least Daryl got the back half where most of the meat is located… ---

Yup, just as we thought - it _was_ Rick who met Darryl’s current group before. That’s going to be interesting, when Rick’s group and Rick’s group meet up. ---

Last week we had a Fallout reference. This week we got Bub from Day of the Dead in the tunnel. I’m liking the Easter eggs. The Terminus arrival was interesting…it was beyond stupid that nobody closed the g-damn gate. ---

I’m pretty sure the gate was closed when they showed the long view of them working their way into the complex. Now, I did think it was stupid/suspicious that Terminus doesn’t have any guards. Although I guess there could be snipers up on the top floors. ---

> [@Push\_You\_Down](#): > > …This week we got Bub from Day of the Dead in the tunnel… I’m glad I’m not the only one who saw that. 🙂 I think that whole sequence was a reference to the caverns in **Day of the Dead** , not just Bub’s cameo. So what does everyone think of Terminus. They’ve already done the seemingly perfect survivor colony with dark secret. On the other than watching everyone settle into a safe community would get boring fast. Either way judging by the sets (& Denise Crosby) Terminus will be the show’s setting for at least the first half of season 5. ---

Although I guess there could be snipers up on the top floors. They did show the gate as being closed afterwards, what bothered me is that the neither gate was really locked to begin with. The chain was just sort of draped on it. Zombies (which, mind you can push down a fence) are going to walk right through that. Considering the writers/directors/set designers/actors all know this, I’m wondering if Terminus is set up by people that haven’t been there long enough to know how bad it is. But that wouldn’t make sense since they had to go out and put up the signs, besides, if they didn’t know how bad it was they wouldn’t have made Terminus. So why weren’t the gates locks. Also, what’s going on with the place that so many people walk in with their guns pointed that they have to put up a sign telling people not to do that. And who, that feels the need to walk around with their gun pointed puts it down because a sign said so. One last thing. I caught a small continuity error. When they hopped in the minivan the big guy flipped on the windshield wipers and then they showed us “Leave Momma Be” written in dust (and then him turning on the wipers again). ---

Just watching The Talking Dead they quickly mentioned Andrew Lincoln’s British accent which I’d heard about but never, well, heard. Here’s a random interview with him. I don’t know what it’s about, I just wanted to hear him talk. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/lJ4mrZlbOhc/hqdefault.jpg "Walking Dead Interview - Andrew Lincoln & Norman Reedus Share Hilarious Episodes On Set") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ4mrZlbOhc) It’s funny how much of an accent he has, as well as how soft spoken and un-grizzley his voice his. It’s one of those thing where, when you think about how much of an idiot Rick can be, it’s just how well Andrew is acting. ---

> [@Folacin](#): > > …Now, I did think it was stupid/suspicious that Terminus doesn’t have any guards. Although I guess there could be snipers up on the top floors. It’s pretty bizarre how deserted it was considering it was the middle of the day. :dubious: It was just Mary alone in a courtyard cooking what’s presumably a large meal. Where is everyone? ---

I want to think Terminus is on he up and up but it was very weird that they had not one guard or at least a greeter and how empty it looked. ---

I got the creepies from Terminus too. The big clue, according to my husband the conspiracy theorist, are not only the lack of guards, but also how perfect everything looks. I’m still squicked out enough by zombie hoards that I partially hid my face behind the lap throw when Glen was helping what’s-her-name after she stumbled :shudder: [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-walking-dead-4-15-us-open-spoilers/684402.md?page=2)
