The flashbacks were important to show how much Rick and Carl had progressed in such a terrible world, what they learned from Hershel was extremely important, how they became human again.
One of the most intense scenes at the start, I thought for sure someone in the group wasn't going to make it out of that stand off. You're sitting there, rooting for the group, but thinking maybe Daryl isn't going to survive or someone else.
Thankfully the "outlaws" get what they deserved, especially the one who had Carl which hinted at something even more disturbing. And the group moves on. I'm glad this group took precautions at Terminus, as the other half of the group (Except Tyrese / Carol / Judith) the episode before had too much blind faith, after what they've witnessed you can't be that blind.
Something in me said, the fact that there aren't that many people must mean only one thing. Cannibals. Terminus, end of the line for your life. You don't get offered a plate that fast in post-zombie world unless food is available... why would food be so available? Also the line "The people we take in make us stronger." confirmed it, before the herding them around the compound for me. Didn't need no pile of flesh/bones.
Obviously, in closing, Rick must become the leader that can go to a dark place to save his son and friends. The standoff made him realize that he can be that person. He realizes with supreme confidence they will make these people regret what they've done because if they don't have that confidence they won't survive.
It was only a matter of time to come upon cannibals, it reminds me of a major piece of the movie "The Road" but not as chilling.
Rick killed the dude taking a shit in the house they were staying in.
Beth got kidnapped when her and Daryl got run out of the house they were staying in.
Earlier in the season, Rick had been passed out for a few days after getting the crap beaten out of him. This gang came in the house (not knowing he was there) and Rick had to kill one of them to escape.
Thanks guys. I remember the bathroom scene now. I can't believe I never made the connection between those two groups , I must not be paying attention. And I spaced out on Beth's situation as well. Maybe I was glad she was taken since I secretly consider her a liability.
I honestly would have liked to see Joe's group hang around a little longer though? With that said, I was stoked when Rick bit his throat out.....that.....was....awesome!
While it was nice to get the resolution of the group more or less reunited and Rick back to his old Grimes-y ways, does anyone else feel like this episode was a bit of a let down?
it looks like next season might start relatively walker free and concentrate on the groups capture and escape. it also looks like rick is refocused with his (they don't know who their fucking with ) attitude.
