The Walking Dead on AMC

The baby formula is to fatten them up, lol.

[Starroid Raiders Dagon]

maybe they feed the captives the baby formula and keep them from moving so they will be tender like veal.

I think everyone in that car save Carl would need some serious tenderizing.

Did anyone see baby formula inside the train car? A friend of mine started watching the episodes twice looking for different things (I usually watch them twice cause I love the show but I don't look for anything in particular), and she said that Rick looks down when he gets in the rail-car and there is baby formula there(?). Did anyone else see that?
That car that Rick, Michone, Darryl showed up in during the flashback looked a lot like the car (you know how the director sometimes focuses on things a little longer indicating you should know something about this, like the Irish girl zombie at the end of the prison war or Bubba in the tunnel? I thought they did that with the car) with the cross on the back window that took Beth.
Oh, I think that the food they serve them when they enter Terminus is probably drugged. That way they wouldn't have to exert any extra energy or chance anyone getting hurt while transporting them to the rail-cars, and they could take all their equipment without them resisting. Just my thoughts on that.

Oh good, glad someone else figured out it was Watership downs, It was making me crazy trying to figure out which book or movie had Terminus in it. I knew one of them did and the web was no help!!

Interesting you brought this up. I found this post on a WD forum by someone named DanPo:

walking dead = watership down
if you want to know what happens in the finale....read watership down. walking dead has many parralels (even the main villain is a one-eyed rabbit called 'the general'...similar to the one-eyed 'governor' in WD)
the constant references to rabbits are a big clue.
in the book, a group of rabbits leave their warren to find a new home...meeting many 'baddies' (predators and other rabbits) on the way. one rabbit group they meet, live in a large 'safe' warren and invite the hero rabbits to 'take sanctury' there. but it turns out they are tricking our heroes and, in fact, the warren is fed and looked after by a human who snares rabbits from the warren for their meat. the snare scene we see in the preview for the finale and the painting michone/carl found with the 2 rabbits sharing a carrot are direct references to this false sanctuary in watership down (the painting is actually of a scene from this section of the book/film).
the well kept, dust-free houses around terminus are looked after by the hunters from terminus (just like the clean, empty burrows in this section of watership down). when beth was captured, the scenario was a typical rabbit hunting technique used in rural areas. the house was boarded up except for a window and a coupla doors. one door had a bunch of zombies put in, causing beth to flee out of the only escape routes (where she was kidnapped as she exited). in rabbiting, a warren has several entrances/exits...all are blocked by a hunter except 2...then a ferret is sent down. the open exits are stood over by either a hunter with a gun or a net is placed over the exits. the rabbits are then flushed out and caught/killed.
There are literally dozens or parralels between the two. if you get the chance, read Watership down or watch the movie...it's even more awesome than walking dead.

I haven't heard that parallel before, but wow that is interesting. I always liked Watership Down, even though, at least around here when I was young it tended to get shown on Easter( I guess because of the rabbits) but of course is a pretty violent cartoon.

Two things I thought kind of cool, this show is film here in Atlanta,
1.The history of Atlanta" dates back to 1836, when Georgia decided to build a railroad to the U.S. Midwest and a location was chosen to be the line's terminus. The stake marking the founding of "Terminus" was driven into the ground in 1837 (called the Zero Mile Post).
2. I can not remember and tryed to look it up on web, but It was either Animal Farm, secrets of Nim or Watership down that used the term "terminus" as the butcher shop that kill animal minor charactors.

Don't forget ol'guvnor taking a bite out of Merle's one good hand. He and Rick must like the taste of dirty post apocalyptic white trash skin.

[Megotu]

Rick and Mcgruff :takin a bite outta crime.

[Megotu]

Let's be fair here, fat CHILD rapist creep. I mean it's a special kind of role he was born to play.

[m0redaniel]

He played the role of a fat rapist creep a little too well...

[Mikey]

Yea, it was no secret them guys were going to rape and murder both the girl and the kid.

I loved Rick's bite --- It actually showed something for real if you were in trouble -- people would not fight like a gentleman

[Megotu]

I think the leaders line of first we do the woman , and then we do your boy kinda made it all too clear. And that guy's eyes looked like Christmas morning when he saw Carl. Either a really good actor in a minor role or someone who should be on a registered offender list...

[drquest]

Is that what that guy was doing to Carl? I thought he was just trying to crush him.

Um, yeah... I had Closed Captioning on, and that scene said "belt jingling".....
