It's obvious to me, that the rabbit-hunting scene is a metaphor for their capture by the termites.

The tracks and its immediate surrounding are a set-up, just as the trail and its immediate surroundings are, leading to the noose.

Nice parallel - good observation!

It was definitely foreshadowing. I don't think they were really trying to hide that.

Who said anything about it being a Termite? Maybe its one of their "captured subjects"?


As far as the houses, not enough food was in the houses to stay long-term. Just enough to boost up and move on. If you are at the houses, you have seen the Terminus signs.

I just think the way the last episode went down, it was implied or hinted, that the termites knew their every move...expected them, maybe even hinted at foreknowledge of their hierarchy.

If they knew that much, why have their people wearing the poncho or body armor in front of them before they had them completely secured? It also cost them one of their own (Alex).

They are prepared, but they are not super-prepared. Rick and company caught them with their pants down, and they adjusted. During the herding scene, you could hear that they were using walkie-talkies to communicate with each other. It was not 100% planned to go down the way it did.

The writers definitely hide clues en sech for a reason. The creepy painting in one of the houses near the tracks, is a dead-ringer of the creepy terminus leader, and leads me to believe that the houses are apart of terminus or in their control.

To me, the fact that the termites were fully prepared, expecting their arrival...knowing that they sneaked in the back, having the perimeter fully secured and ready suggests that their "camp" is much bigger than just the building. Coupled with the lack of guards at the entrance and lack of locks on the gate and the lack of actual zombies, makes me think that they are secure on a bigger scale, somehow.

THe pics in the house, to me, were Easter Eggs, not clues. Just like the barbed-wire covered bat seen at the location of the walker attack where Tyrese and Carol met up. That was not a clue that this guy was Negan's father or anything, it was just an Easter Egg.

i posted this in teh comic thread but took out the non comic talk do the tv show.

"The Walking Dead" hasn't been off the air for long, but the showrunners, writers and producers are already elbow-deep in writing Season 5.

In an interview with MTV News, Robert Kirkman reveals how far the "Walking Dead" team is into Season 5. Considering filming starts in May, it shouldn't be too surprising to learn that the season is already halfway written.

"I just turned in the second episode script for Season 5, and all the writers are hard at work on their individual episodes," Kirkman says. "We're pretty much halfway through the fifth season, script-wise. And we've already nailed down what our finale is, and what our overall arc of the season is. The back half of the season is taking shape very quickly, and we'll have all the scripts written by the summer."

Hitting Season 5 is a bit accomplishment for any TV series, but Kirkman says he gets the sense this is just the beginning. "It's strange for me, being on the fifth season, because I feel like we just started," he says. "On some shows, on some great shows, they run for five seasons and they're done. And it's like, 'Wow, that show ran for a long time.' I feel like we're still very much getting started, which is the feeling I've always had on the comics. So that's definitely a strange thing to realize, that five years have passed already."

For anyone interested, there is an episode of Talking Dead this weekend. They will be discussing the coming season.

Awesome, awesome, awesome.

They are coming to DC huh... Ovechkin zombie?

I'm glad they seem to be moving the series back to the how did it start?/what is it?/how can we stop it? since that's the only way this series ends in a good way. The running around the countryside and good characters is nice and all, but I like the movement back towards something bigger that we saw a lot of in seasons 1 & 2 and didn't see so much in the last couple seasons.

I also still maintain that the level of conflict between people in a world where so few of them exist (especially with a dumb and predictable enemy) seems a little off the charts... but I understand that's how they make the cliffhangers.
