180. I think maybe Daryl feels Beth's abduction was his failure

Mon Mar 31, 2014, 04:46 PM

Mar 2014

and it's hard for him to talk about - especially after watching Rick rip a man's throat out with his teeth.

Daryl will tell. In between plotting & planning in the cattle car, they will all tell their stories - to some degree.

Besides, I think there's more to Beth abduction than just a simple kidnapping and that will be explored next season.

The reunion felt rushed to me but I can live with it.

Maybe everyone assumes anyone they don't see must be dead and that talk can wait because the needs of the living are more important.

The season is too short, Joe Shlabotnik Mar 2014 #6

I agree. Finales and premiers should be longer. Solly Mack Mar 2014 #7

Holy crap, that was intense. Chiyo-chichi Mar 2014 #75

yes, it was too intense to type NewJeffCT Mar 2014 #77

I figured this episode would focus on the terminus. MissB Mar 2014 #78

me, too. This is way more intense. Iris Mar 2014 #79

This is a good way to end the season. Vashta Nerada Mar 2014 #81

Bloody hands. That's the reason for the stare- knowing that he can be THAT brutal. MissB Mar 2014 #82

my first thought was Joe Shlabotnik Mar 2014 #161

I'm getting a cult-like feel about Terminus... Vashta Nerada Mar 2014 #96

Where is the earlier group? MissB Mar 2014 #98

I know NewJeffCT Mar 2014 #104

Rick notices the watch NewJeffCT Mar 2014 #100

I wonder what's with the watch? Vashta Nerada Mar 2014 #102

Rick gave it to that hippie guy NewJeffCT Mar 2014 #107

Oh that watch! MissB Mar 2014 #112

maybe not, though NewJeffCT Mar 2014 #116

Yeah, given the earlier flashback, I'm thinking Genn/Herschel's watch. MissB Mar 2014 #119

Gareth charlie and algernon Mar 2014 #99

Who is Gareth? Baitball Blogger Mar 2014 #103

he was the guy who greeted them all and has been leading them around charlie and algernon Mar 2014 #114

Whose watch? Hershel's? Iris Mar 2014 #101

Oh, God. You might be on to something. Baitball Blogger Mar 2014 #105

The watch I remember NewJeffCT Mar 2014 #110

A watch? Brigid Mar 2014 #106

Didn't Herschel give it to Glenn? MissB Mar 2014 #108

Yes! Oh, shit. Where are Glenn and the others? Iris Mar 2014 #111

Herschel just said in the flashback that he gave his watch to Glenn. Chiyo-chichi Mar 2014 #113

He'd probably be correct. You know Glenn wouldn't part with it willingly. Iris Mar 2014 #115

I think you're right NewJeffCT Mar 2014 #118

I forgot about that watch until you mentioned it. Iris Mar 2014 #122

I was just going to ask if anyone else saw them. Iris Mar 2014 #126

Beth was the first one to disappear NewJeffCT Mar 2014 #128

Is that a joke? Or... Iris Mar 2014 #155

No NewJeffCT Mar 2014 #156
