- Quotes
[Gareth talks to Rick before the Terminus men slit open his throat]
Gareth: We saw you go into the woods with a bag and come out without it. Had to pull my spotters back before we could go look for it. What was in it? You hid it, right? In case things went bad? Smart. Still, we'll find it. But it's too dangerous to go out there right now.
[pulls Bob forward with a knife aiming to his eye]
Gareth: What was in it? I'm curious. And it was a big bag.
[pause]
Gareth: You really gonna let me do this?
Rick Grimes: Let me take you out there. I'll show you.
Gareth: Not gonna happen, but this might.
[brings the knife closer to Bob's eye]
Rick Grimes: There's guns in it. AK-47... 44 Magnum. Automatic weapons. Nightscope. There's a compound bow and a machete with a red handle. That's what I'm gonna use to kill you.
[Gareth chuckles before putting the rag back over Rick's mouth]
Gareth: Thanks.
- Crazy creditsUnlike in any previous episode, there is a 'stinger' scene, ie. *after* the end credits are completely over.
The episode introduces us to what Terminus is all about. Gruesome images being shown back and forth added to the intensity of the episode and indeed did its job to creep me out. The visuals have improved very well if compared to previous seasons. Explosions and gut wrenching scenes looked great on screen. The episode also shows us the changes that Rick and his gang have went through. Rick is not the same calm farmer who would take violence as his last resort. In this one, violence was his key to escape Terminus and to save those he loves the most, his family. However, Carol had a far more unmerciful approach to Terminus. In the episode she is seen doing everything, no matter how cruel or wrong as long as it will be to save Rick and his gang. Just like in Season 4, Carol kicked ass in the episode. She became a strong female character last season and I'm expecting to see more of that this season as well. As for the story and pacing goes in the episode, amazing. I was never bored at any scene in the episode and remained at my seat looking terrified and couldn't even move. This episode had the same impact as Too Far Gone and deserves a spot at one of the best The Walking Dead episodes ever.
With gruesome and detailed visuals, thrilling action sequences, scenes that will drag you to the edge of your seat and great developed characters. This season is gonna be an amazing one.
Verdict: 9.5/10
