...and it has a zombie cure. The show's over but man what a ride!
That was intense. And I think the most cliffhanger-y season finale yet. I have to say, maybe it's only because it's recent and I haven't had time to digest it fully yet, but this run from the pick up after the mid-season break to the finale was one of the best sets of episodes in the series.
Intense episode.
I was surprised how fast they offed Joe and company. I expected them to drag that out to the climax. Was also crazy seeing Rick basically go "Zombie" on him.
Also the evil-ness of Terminus seemed... too obvious. I was really feeling it would turn around and be a nice place, but instead it ended on a pretty bleak cliffhanger.

Also,
Did I miss him, or was Eugene not in the train car at the end?
He was there. He was kind of hiding in the back left side with only the top half of his face showing due to the people crowding the front.
As for Beth...
I don't really think she is at Terminus alive or dead. The person that kidnapped her was likely the person who was taking care of the funeral home, and considering the amount of respect that person showed Walkers, I don't see them as cannibals like the people of Terminus.
Honestly I am more curious what will happen to Carol, Tyreese, and Judith.

Welp great and terrible episode:
They actually did the Carl rape and Rick bite scene. They've officially secured the fact that if it was done on the comic, nothing is off limits for the TV show.
So that was the great part.
The terrible part? I thought the final scene was weak as shit. Zero answers, zero reason behind why they're doing what they did or why they do it. The entire Terminus scenes made zero sense and pointless.

Yeah, just finished the finale. I actually had to catch up and watch last week's episode because I forgot I missed it.
I've been gradually losing interest with the show. Even the "Look at the flowers" episode didn't really do it for me, even if it was one of the better episodes. But I'd have the latest episode downloaded for almost a week before remembering about and then sit down to watch it. Not a good sign.
After this pretty ho-hum finale, I don't think I'll bother coming back for the next season.

The thing I don't like about this being a finale is they did not explain enough that we would wonder about the rest. They just left it as there is a bad place and they are there. No explanation as to what is up with that place or enough hints to make you care about finding out about it.
I liked how they portrayed Rick as going Zombie on that guy. Put that with him seeming like he was going to turn on that couch and they are just making him more zombie like all the time.
I wonder if that is part of the motivation of Carl too. He sees himself as a monster but I wonder if it is in part because his dad is becoming more monster like in order to protect him.

From the sound of it, this show just isn't for you. Plenty of other stuff to watch on TV these days though.
It seemed pretty obviously really quickly that...
Terminus is a compound of cannibals. They leave the signs up telling people about safety to lure them in and then lock them up in pens to wait for harvesting. What really gave it away to me was the chase scene. The snipers on the roof look to be terrible aims at first, but you notice quickly they are not trying to kill the group and are instead "herding" them into a blocked off area near the pens. At one point they run into that cult like room with the candles, and right before that they pass a courtyard where if you look at the ground, you see a massive amount of bones, all of them looking like they are picked clean.
At the very end, Garret, who heard their names earlier when they introduced themselves, started calling them by alias (the ringleader, the archer, the samurai) as a form of dehumanization the same way a farmer tells his kids never to name the meat cow.

My little pony re-runs.
The last part was weak, but it has me hungering for next season.
Goddamn, that scene with Joe and them was nasty. I knew they were shit, but not THAT shit. Rick's way out of it was shocking--didn't see it coming and neither did those fuckers. Glad he made that pedophile die slow and kept on stabbing the bastard.
I really liked this episode. The 2nd part at Terminus felt slow, but thinking about it again and seeing the posts on reddit really show how well done it was. I mean, when I was watching it I couldn't help but thinking that
I really liked the start with Joe and his gang. That situation truly felt desperate.
I need to meditate on it more, but damn I felt like this was a great episode.
These guys took their marksmanship training from Stormtroopers. But I didn't realize that they were herding them to the box car. That's why everything had an A on it. That's the marked path that they use to get people to the car. Mix this with the talk from earlier about the snare Rick set up for the rabbit and it really brings the episode together.

I expected anything and loved that none of their first plans worked. Michone couldn't swat the gun away, Carl couldn't quite reach the knife and even after Rick headbutts the guy and get on his feet he's so disorientated from the shot that it doesn't do him any good. I honestly thought that anyone could go at that minute and even when they did get out of it, it felt earned.

The only thing that kind of bugs me is...
Who the hell was the guy Rick killed and why was he so important to Joe's crew? That same episode one of the guys just straight up strangled one of the other guys to death for a bed and no one seemed to bat an eyelash, and later on one asshole tries to get Daryl kicked out and he in turn gets beaten to death.
Why did Joe and the whole crew have some super vendetta versus Rick that they would hunt him down with the intention of murdering and/or raping anyone with him?
The only thing that can make me even think I understand is that Joe was simply pissed off that Rick left the guy to be a Walker and attack them, and so he just wanted pay back for that, but Joe kept making it sound like they were getting revenge for the guy being murdered.

That guy wasn't actually strangled to death, just until he fell unconscious. That's how they knew what Rick looked like, because he saw Rick before being knocked out.
I assume it's an insider/outsider thing. If one of them breaks the rules (like the guy messing with Daryl), yeah they'll beat him up, even kill him if need be, but in their eyes, that's their right to do so, not some outsiders. That Rick left him to turn I'm sure didn't help his case either.

The guy who was strangled didn't die, just passed out.
The super vendetta was because of their -code- aka you don't mess with anyone in the group.

He was also still breathing when Rick was crawling out from under the bed.
I see, maybe I just missed that part. Was he with the group in the following scenes? I don't remember seeing him again. Maybe I just phased him out.
Yeah, he was. Though, since most of that group didn't have speaking parts, it's pretty easy to just not notice them.

Whoa. The woman at the grill was Tasha Yar? Mind = blown.
Also according to gimple and Kirkman in an interview with TV guide, the interweb is way off on Beth. They said they watch the internet rumors and if the internet gets it right they may change it up because they feel it's too easy.[DOUBLEPOST=1396537029,1396536785][/DOUBLEPOST]I have a feeling lost changed their plot when the internet figured out they were all supposed to be dead in 5 minutes. And we see how that worked out.

I hate when writers do that. Let people have their win. Don't fuck things up for the sake of a surprise.
New Trailer is up.
Also, Episode 4 of Telltale Presents: The Walking Dead Season 2 came out on Tuesday.

I would, but I can't watch until Monday night, possibly Tuesday. 
That episode was amazing.
It took a few minutes for me to recognize the guy, but the first one to get his throat slit was in the previous season. Rick and Carol met him and his girlfriend while foraging, and Rick sent them out to look for supplies. The girl was killed and eaten, but the guy just disappeared.
Jeesus. Carol is like the Zombpocolypse Rambo now.
Just to add to my post above.
I love the fact that out of all the items Carol came across that were stolen, the one thing she made sure to get was Daryl's crossbow.
