Walking Dead S5 Tonight!

[Mike Scott]

Terminus wasn't in the comics; the cannibals don't come to light until the group is being stalked at the church and it is actually Dale (who is still alive at this point in the comic) that is kidnapped and loses a leg.  The whole cannibal incident is only 3 or 4 pages in the comic.

I haven't read the comics, but I heard there is a lot differences between the two. Any body else that's dead on the show but still alive in the comics, or vise versa?

TALKING POINTS

Terminus terminated, with extreme prejudice! Rick and some of the others really went to town on the "Who's for lunch?" crowd!

What do you think of Maggie and Glenn leaving the main group? Are we going to get parallel storylines till they all get together again?

R.I.P. Bob.

Who was with Daryl at the end of the show?

I think we will get parallel story lines (which may become annoying) and I'm pretty sure we are seeing the return of Beth.

We had, at least, 4 parallel story lines all last season, so it won't be anything new.

Beth will be in next weeks show, but in what form, I don't know. She might be the one in the bushes with Daryl?

That's what I was thinking.
I didn't like the fact that Rick & co. went hack attack crazy on the Terminites. Since they consumed tainted meat I would have rather have them get way and see how that played out. Would they turn? And if they did would they become like the rest of the zombies or something different. They could have lasted another couple of shows anyway.

Yeah, that's why it was my least favorite season. So far, this season's off to a spectacular start.

If they didn't, they'd go on eating people. I'm sure that's what Rick was thinking.

[Mike Scott]

Yeah, it went on a little too long.

It has been established that all survivors carry the zombie virus, it only becomes active once you die.  People aren't really turning into zombies due to being bitten (so eating "tainted" meat is kind of a misnomer), they die from infection (due to parasites/germs that one would find on a rotting corpse) or lose of blood.  That's why you can chop off an appendage (like Herschell's leg) and escape turning.  I really think that if they had enough antibiotics that Bob could have been saved (again they had a surplus when Herschell was amputated), he didn't lose that much blood and the bitr really wasn't that bad.

[Mord]

 Good points, ZH. I hadn't really thought about that.

[Mike Scott]

I don't believe they're going to kill off another regular, tonight!! They just killed off Bob! It had better be the priest!

They've been hinting at it a bit. My MSN homepage has a big write-up on classic series that kill off main characters (mentioning tonight's episode MIGHT be one).

[Mike Scott]

Son of a bitch!!

Norman Reedus reported that he cried for a good hour after filming the mid-season finale....I don't think this episode is going to end well for at least one character.

More than one, but I don't care about the others.
