That was probably the most somber talking dead ive seen.

Definitely. Best episode of the second half season so far.

I've said that every week during the second part of this season...

I think the opportunity to get to know some of the folks on a deeper level will pay off down the road. These individual episodes have added history and layers to our favorite survivors, which will make losing any of them all the more difficult when it happens. Michone, Daryl, Beth, Carol....these guys are no longer two dimensional and the episodes telling their stories rate among the best things TWD has done. An amazing season.

thats where I feel like Ive really benefited from being current of the comics.  theyve given me that depth since the beginning without spoiling the tv plot lines.

I plowed through the comics all at once so I didn't get that as much. Probably a mistake on my part, but they were hard to put down :)

LMAO!!! Good one!  ;D

So with two episodes left to go in Season Four (and with Robert Kirkman labeling the season finale as "savage") here are two scenarios which seem unimaginable on any show besides The Walking Dead.

This is the point in the comics when the group encountered the cannibals. Is Terminus the cannibal base? What about the group Daryl got picked up by? Are they the cannibals? Even scarier, Beth was taken by parties unknown.....could she end up in a stew pot in the last episode? I've been concerned over Beth since she told Daryl "he would miss her when she was gone". Occasionally, like with Hershel, TWD telegraphs a death an episode or two before it happens. I have my doubts over Beth being around for Season Five.

Second....would TWD kill off Rick? While Rick and Daryl seem bulletproof, Kirkman has said pointedly that no one is safe and revealed this week how he almost killed Rick off early in the comics. I don't see this one happening, but Kirkman has a little George R.R. Martin in him to the point where you really can't feel too safe for any character. I can't imagine TWD without Rick at this point, but the rumors are starting to swirl around the internet. Of course....the same internet predicted the walker Tyreese killed on the tracks last week would instead be a living, breathing Morgan.

Two episodes left, then withdrawal........

    ^and what is Rick holding in his hand? Dogtags? Hmmmm.......

[GDS_Starfury]

I read all the comics at once sometime in early 2012 and since Ive kept up.  honestly I remember the main arcs but not some of the details.  the show is waaaaay off the comics.  Beth could have been grabbed by a different version of the Priest who is also a cannibal.  who knows.  what I would say is that Rick and Carl are the only 2 people that will make it through.  at this point in the comics a lot more others have but, those are the central characters.  consider that Rick still has his right hand and Carl still has both eyes.

I thought that Terminus was Alexandria

[Steelgrave]

^That's a good bet. Kirkman has said this season follows the comics more closely but some events/characters are switched around. Cannibals, Alexandria, I think all that is in play in whatever order happens.

they need to put out a mid summer season.  >:(  2 more shows then waiting until October sucks.

hey, us Warehouse 13 fans have been waiting most of a year for it to finally come back for it's abbreviated wrap-up season...
