It's plausible, since everyone is infected, that the idea of eating human flesh is less repulsive post-apocalypse.

Methinks they are former doctors, otherwise the patient (!) could die because of blood loss, considering the operation.

Could be a good shout. The guy who does all the talking does have the air of a doctor or medical student of some sort.

But that wouldn't explain how they can track the group through the woods and Daryl can't track them. Or why the (T-Dog#3) black guy went off to have a cry on his own.

Funnily enough, I looked up the black populations of Georgia and South Carolina and they both make up about 30% of the population in those states. Just throwing that one out there.

He (Bob) was obviously bitten and left the group to succumb and die on his own.

Oh dear learn a little psychology and a little real life before going down the route of even attempting to sound like you know what you are talking about. Torture and brutalisation over a sustained period, after a massive global dystopian collapse and god knows how much trauma along the way could flip more than a few switches and the reality is that it doesn't have to happen to all. The Stanford Prison Experiments are a perfect example of how quickly some people can change given the pressure or even just the circumstance.

Hell if i recall during the crusades there was cases of canabilism. People do flip more than a few switches more easly then expected, i recall katrina and the chaos that folowed, and that wasnt even a big time frame. ( no canibalism there, but pretty horrible things happened.)

Just saying, the whole setting of this show, regarding terminus isnt that far fetched, is actualy a cliche of Post apocalyptic zombie themes, as its actualy recurrent. This show has alot of details, and plots not so well made in the course of the seasons, but overal it sells authentic for the most part. And Canibal theme, honestly it was long overdue imo.

Here we go again. Little argumentation, but playing the snobbish Brit, that's all you can. It would be understandable, if the Terminus-folks act very revengeful against their former oppressors, but the whole let's luring people to our place and then eat them is - as Knight of Heaven said - a sensationalist cliche.

That's what I thought, but how come he didn't turn? In the time it took them to knock him out, carry him far enough away to be safe, cut off his leg and cook it. That has to be 4-5 hours and that's after he's been walking around all afternoon....

I think you need to go back and reread the comment you think was supporting your case, it wasn't.

I think that crazy Dr.Guy from the end of season 1 mentioned how the death from the bite could take up to 12 hours or something.

It's not really a sensationalist cliche. It's pretty smart. Luring people in with a facade(and reality depending on your choice) and then giving them that choice. Join or die. It's how they kept their work force up and kept themselves fed.

Oh, neat, they actually killed off (what was shaping up to be) a major villain in three episodes. I figured that'd last at least half the season. I'm happy so far. Let's just hope they keep up the momentum and don't stop anywhere for too long again.

**IronBrig4** · October 28, 2014, 09:51 AM

We also saw a character die peacefully in bed. That's probably the first time it's happened on the show.

"Eugene move it."

"I don't...I don't want to.."

"Now *grrrr*"

"Okay"

Also, T-Dawg 3 down.

Trailers suggest a major detour while we find out what happened to Beth. Maybe they'll come up with something we haven't seen before in every post apocalyptic yadda yadda.. Maybe not..

I am very happy that they solved this early on. Those cannibals were over the top for me (even though it is a show about dead humans eating the living).
