Walking Dead

When the always intriguing Denise Crosby shows up in the final moments, stepping from behind a loaded grill to welcome our tired travelers to Terminus, I can't help but wonder if that's Beth cooking up and looking delicious.

So while those wheels are spinning, it's not entirely without purpose. But a stronger script would have helped.

He's bridging the gap and setting himself up to suffer the most.

We're finally getting to see just what Gurira can do.

I, personally, wouldn't name a place Terminus and expect good things to happen there.

If that was the most painful moment in the episode, it was backed up by a wide range of WTF moments and extremely disconcerting acts of violence.

And I didn't even mention the symbolism of Carol giving Rick her old watch; a woman's watch that was a gift she could never give up despite being from her abusive husband.

Bad things are on the horizon. And that fence isn't going to be enough to keep them out.

Oh, and did I mention that someone was out by the fence with a flashlight feeding rats to walkers? What the hell? That's not cool.

This is exactly what I was hoping for with Gimple in charge. Quiet stories of madness and desperation, with horrible things happening for a reason, rather than just lurching out of the darkness.

Okay then. I guess we're completely off the reservation now.
