I think they missed a golden opportunity to build suspense for an entire summer. If they are indeed going with the cannibal thing, they should have revealed them as such on this episode and make people think about that for the next six months. How chilling would it have been for Rick to look out of the crack in the rail car and see a bbq pit and someone turning a human torso just like a pig, slo-mo style. How much better would it have been if it was Beth? See, that's how you build tension and terror.

I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.
If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand. -

That could also be an unintentionally funny callback to the Batman and Robin death trap on the Minstrel episode.Comment

I think they built the finale up too much with the "who will survive" posters and saying it was going to be shocking.
The shock factor they were talking about was:
1) Rick biting the guy's jugular, which was pretty brutal and very Walker-ish
2) attempted rape of Carl
3) Rick's repeating stabbing of the guy that was going to rape Carl.Comment

Listening to Rick speak with his real voice on Talking was kinda funny

The more I think about what they did at Terminus, the more I think it was flippin' brilliant writing.
We all knew the people at Terminus would end up being bad. We even had figured out that they were some sort of cannibals. They could have played it out like some kind of mystery... like they tried to do with Woodbury. I expected a lot of screaming at the TV that our heroes can't figure out that these guys are up to no good... and that chicken fingers do not actually contain finger bones.
Instead, they laid all the cards on the table as soon as Rick arrives. They confirmed all of our suspicions. We know that they are heavily armed, well organized, cannibals that have our heroes unarmed and imprisoned.
Doesn't that make you curious to know more? What the Termites' back story is? And how Rick and crew are going to escape?Comment

I agree with a lot of points here. Rick's recon was crap in a hat. They did not manage to see one person. Kinda makes me wish that the Claimers had found Terminus before they found Rick. These are cannibals. More people make them stronger, oh yes indeed. Scarier thought. Woodbury had kids around. I didn't see kids here.
Some thoughts on escaping:
Rick is a cop. He has seen how criminals hide weapons to evade searches. Even a few bullets and something to strike them with would make an explosive strong enough to bust out of the rail car.
They were only quickly and not very thoroughly frisked. They could have 3 or 4 guns and a couple of knives easily.
I think one person gets out. Rick or Darrell because they know where the cache is. That person finds Carol and Tyrese. Beth was taken by the Funeral Home director to keep her safe from the cannibals. They show up later perfectly fine and the undertaker gets killed in the melee.
How long does Tasha Yar stand there BBQing each day anyway?sigpicComment

This is how I see this playing out. Carl will be the one small enough to escape the train car. He will make it to the woods and find where Rick buried the guns. At that point, Tyresse will make hi way there. Then, they will all break everyone out of the train car.View My Customs

Carol and Tyrese on on their way, no question. I think their arrival will be more "by the book", and they will Somehow find out about our heroes in the box car, and jailbreak them.Comment

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...sigpicComment
