:yay:

Is Terminus good or bad? Will we see Beth?? Will the groups meet??? And what does 'A' mean??????????????

Any last minute theories?

Terminus was founded by the Terminator. 'A' is obviously short for 'Arnold.'

Who will die this episode?

I'm gonna stick with the St. John's Dairy Farm vibe. I'm thinking they lure people there to kill, eat and loot so that they can survive without ever having to go on supply runs. There doesn't seem to be any animals being farmed there so what exactly would she be cooking and how could she have enough to just give to strangers? Not exactly sure what to make of that woman being on the painting Michonne found. Either way, she's gonna be evil.

I assume Joe's group will be cleared and will be the reason for Terminus' demise by leading a herd into it with gunfire racket. Or everyone but Joe dies only for Kober to return next season as an antagonist. Hope it's the former though. They're bad. We get it.

Not sure who will die. I'm gonna say one person from the current group there will get slaughtered. The only one out of them I could see them offing is Bob. Which... I really hope I'm wrong with! Maybe Sasha, only for Tyreese to arrive and eat his own sister? Hmmm.

These are kul

Okay, the following THEORY contains information about season 5, and a small fact about tonight's episode, so don't click if you don't want to know.

Spoiler

The theory is that Terminus will actually be a good place and Joe's group will fuck it up. This is based on the following: Season 5 begins with Rick leading a group to Washington DC Gareth is a character who will be introduced in tonight's episode as a resident of Terminus, and he (but not Mary apparently) will become a regular in season 5. If they're departing Terminus at the start of season 5, I'm assuming that means the story is done after 'A'. And there's no way they'll give us an entire cannibal arc plus Joe's group taking vengeance on Rick in a single hour episode. Especially considering we're probably going to see every regular character tonight. Also if Gareth is main cast and he's joining Rick's group on their trek to Washington (which yes is conjecture but I find it very likely) then he couldn't really be a bad guy. If he were a cannibal they'd never let him join the group. They'd just kill him. My prediction is that the Joe story is going to come to a close tonight or in the premiere of season 5, and will involve the destruction of Terminus rendering it uninhabitable. Gareth joins the main group (everyone possibly minus Beth) as a kind of refugee. Joe's group end up wiped out and Daryl rejoins the group. All the 'clues' about Mary being a cannibal ("let me make you a plate") are just joaks thrown in by the producers because they know we're expecting cannibals now, since it's about the point in the comics where that happens. I think the cannibals will come in season 5 though, stalking the group on their way to Washington.

To be fair we only saw a small part of Terminus!

THEN AGAIN

They COULD just be cack-handed about it and try and give us a cannibal revelation TOO QUICKLY much like they did with the CDC. You know, when the group gets settled in and suddenly they're all about to die. That remains one of the weak points of season 1 to me, we should have spent a good few episodes AT LEAST at the CDC and with such an inherently interesting character as DR JENNER. My fear now is that they'll do this again with Terminus cannibals. But the Gareth thing still doesn't make sense if that's the case

True. It wouldn't be crazy to think they have animals but even if they did, I don't think they'd have enough to slaughter to feed to any stranger who pleases to walk in.

I may just be underestimating the size of Terminus. That is a big ass building and probably has a ton of people inside. I can't let go of this silly theory though!

Plus that voice going TERMINUS.... TERMINUS... SANCTUARY FOR ALL was creepy as fuck in the preview.

Maybe

Gareth is someone that literally just arrived and has no idea about it yet?

Quote

Sanctuary is a word derived from the Latin sanctuarium, which is like most words ending in -arium, a container for keeping something in

Such as livestock? (:

COMIC SPECULATION SPOILERZ! This is what I think will happen based on some shots from the preview matching comic book frames exactly:

Spoiler

The 'CLAIMERS' are gonna run into Rick and co and one of them will either talk about or actually try to rape Carl. 99% sure that's happening. They've alluded to some dark shit like that Then Rick...BITES THE DUDE'S THROAT OUT. Also pretty sure this will happen. Michonne/Daryl will probably kill the rest of the group as it happens. I dunno what happens with Joe. I'm guessing Daryl will kill him I think that'll all happen in the first half, then they'll go to Terminus. Strange to wipe out Joe's group asap but who knows

Re: Curtis

I don't see them introducing a new group in the finale. Probably Joe's group will be the 'claimers' and Daryl will realise they are very very bad people if this happens. Also I don't see child rape happening on this show, lol. Consider how they sanitized the Michonne/Governor violence. They couldn't even have a woman being raped (although Maggie was threatened), I RLY doubt Carl is gonna get a rapin'.

If they rush through a cannibal storyline then I'm gonna be pissed. The Hunters storyline in the comics was really good. I'm really afraid Terminus will be cannibals and they'll blow through it all in just one episode. I'd way rather your idea of The Hunters stalking Rick and co as they travel to DC. That'd make for a good first half of season 5

Sorry I see you said talk about or try to. Not actually DO THE DEED. So maybe yeah
