  • “You show up and three of us are gone” – Sasha to Abraham.
  • “No matter what anyone says, no matter what you think, you, are not safe” – Rick to Carl.
  • “You don't know what is at stake!” – Abraham yelling to Rick
  • “Where are our people!” – Sasha yelling to someone.

054 – A (S4E16-416)

The season 4 finale of The Walking Dead is upon us! What an awesome episode. We definitely focus on Rick and his arrival to Terminus. We also see a transformation the Rick character. Did any of your predictions come true?

  • Joe and the claimers catch up with Rick
  • Daryl tries to sacrifice himself to save Rick
  • Rick goes animal and uses a new “weapon” to defend himself against the claimers.
  • Even though Rick trains Carl on trying to use a trap for rabbits, he doesn't anticipate the trap that Terminus is for humans.

Both if us here at The Walking Dead Girl agree that this season 4 was the best of all the seasons so far. What do you think? Has AMC finally found a good production and writing team that can take the show into a successful season 5?

053 – Us (S4E15-415)

Jasmine's a little under the weather in this episode with allergy season in full effect. However, we manage to keep the excitement up and are looking forward to getting answers about Terminus. We both think it's bad news, but part of the group will reach it and it looks friendly so far:

  • Will Glenn find maggie? Probably.
  • Will Tara trip and fall yet again? Yes.
  • Will Eugene act all creepy and awkward? Yes.
  • Will Daryl stick with the claimers even though he can leave whenever he wants? Yes.

052 – The Grove (S4E14-414)

Listen now to hear how Jasmine feels about nuts.

  • We also see the result of Lizzie's psychotic behavior.
  • Carol and Tyreese discuss the the death of Karen.
  • We see burned walkers again, this time they're attacking the group.

A lot of issues get resolved in this episode. Finally, Lizzie did not kill Karen with Carol covering for her, so there!

051 – Alone (S4E13-413)

We follow two parallel stories in this episode.

  • One story follows Sasha Bob and Maggie as they struggle to decide their next goal and if they should even pursue the possibility of Glenn being alive.
  • The other story shows us the budding relationship between Daryl and Beth, and how Daryl is growing to terms with Beth's positive and hopeful outlook on life.

We both liked this episode and wanted to see Daryl and Beth get closer and continue the relationship building. Oh well, this is The Walking Dead after all.
