- "After the group was split up from the Governors attack on the prison, they all focused on trying to find a new place to live. The obvious candidate was this place called Terminus, which had tons of different signs telling people there for a sanctuary for all that arrived."

I also love that Terminus left our people scared. They didn't trust anyone anymore and Rick seing the "A" on his hand in the Alexandria party greatly discomforted him
Agreed. I feel like the impact Terminus had on our group was greater than the impact the entire Saviour arc had on our group. Which is odd considering terminus arc lasted a whole 3 episodes, while the Saviours arc was a whopping 2+ seasons.
I personally think that speaks volumes as to how little this show is character driven compared to how it used to be back in the earlier seasons. The show used to really dive into the characters and how they developed and how they were impacted by certain events. Hell, remember Daryl being hesitant about following the train tracks in Season 6B. A clear call back to the group's journey to Terminus and how Daryl was still haunted by how that all ended.
I get that there was a time jump, but post All Our War... I don't really feel the weight of everything that happened with the Saviours, the characters don't feel like they changed as a result of what happened. Just kinda felt like they slapped on some new make up and got on with another day. Might have something to do with the fact that the show now has a cast of about 100.
@@boringmonkey6958 And after this is when they had to start killing off beloved character to get people to watch instead of good story lines and character development
@@boringmonkey6958 Thats what exactly I've been saying. AMC fucked up everything. IMO if they focused more S6 onwards and truly perfected and compressed the saviours arc this could've been a magnum opus. I still love The Walking Dead because it is one of the only contemporary zombie shows with solid world building. Despite the differences the graphic novels are worth checking out (if you haven't already) and Kirkman frequently discusses his own ideas within them. This is the only way I can get a good TWD fix without worrying about the writers/producers.
I love the way they show their individual triggers struggling with ptsd while adapting to “civilization” after being outside. Especially Sasha and Rick’s struggle with mental health
@@boringmonkey6958 idk I believe the payoff from the saviors was learning how to lead. in season 9 seeing them so divided and how the main group struggled to keep the peace was really interesting. Since the farm every season is about learning to trust, lead, and save people from oppressive groups that are larger or have more weaponry than them. All out war was the death of their apocalypse and prepared them for the rebuilding of their civilization
This is probably my favorite episode of the series and I think it’s because there’s so much unexpected payoff. We get payoff to Terminus, the Carol/Rick storyline, our crew meeting up after 8 episodes apart, etc. This episode also cemented Carol as my favorite character in the series.
This is where the comic Carol and the Live Action Carol deviate. Carol kills herself in the prison by going crazy and letting a walker that they had caught to try to study eat her alive... Womp-womp.
We also get payoff for smaller things. For example, in S4E4, Carol and Rick come across a couple that clearly have no survival skills and have only made it thus far because they got lucky. In the episode, Rick wants to take them back to the prison but Carol has them go off & scavenge before they leave.
Later on into the episode, Carol & Rick come across the corpse of the girl. And the guy is no where to be found. Rick wants to keep waiting for him, but Carol insists they leave. We don’t see the guy again until S5E1 where he’s almost immediately killed by the cannibals.
It’s such a small thing but I love it so much. Like, they didn’t have to finish up that small, almost completely inconsequential storyline, but they did, and the episode is all the better for it.
Yes I was pissed when Rick had thr audacity to banish Carol, like he was some kind of saint.
I was already team Carol but after this episode I officially became you kill Carol I riot.
@@bayareaelitetampa6983 the problem is that Carol did not give anyone the chance to even say goodbye, he killed Karen and David in cold blood, who might not have even died. Rick banished her more to stay away from Tyreese than for what she did, bc Tyreese woulda killed her if he found out right at first
@@KingSchafer1 Lol glad the show didn't do that
This episode kicks even harder when you re-watch the show from the beginning and see in how short period of time Carol changed into such badass
Badass or dumbass? I would say try hard Badass who made bad decision after bad decision and got so many killed
This episode peaked the shows viewership because the ending of season 4. Rick says “they’re gonna feel pretty stupid when they find out” Abraham replies “find out what” in which Rick awesomely replies with “they’re fucking with the wrong people” we’re left on a cliffhanger which left fans craving for more and this badass season 4 ending got many more to watch the show. And that’s why the next episode, or season 5 episode 1 is one of the best in the entire show
On the actual premiere on AMC, he didnt say fuck
were there 2 seperate recordings? i watched it on netflix but in that version he says ''screwing'' instead of ''fucking''
@@ValerieSparrowW the blu ray version is uncensored. Same with a lot of Negan’s lines too
@@joshthejet Negans lines are way more menacing without the constant swearing I think
5x1 is still the most watched episode ever which says a lot
This is the episode in which Rick, ironically, finally learns the lesson that Shane was trying to teach him, a long time before.
how
This is my favorite “era of Carol” - she became a walking, breathing grenade that could and would take out anyone and everyone necessary to save her people. I thoroughly enjoyed watching her evolve over the course the show, the many different sides of her that came out due to changing circumstances… but this era of Carol was incredible. “Badass” doesn’t even cover it.
Ending with her slaughter of the wolves...for a while 😊
its weird, I both agree and disagree with this. I really liked her arc in season 6 where she regrets and eventually comes to terms with the violence she's been a part of, and in order to have that arc she had to also have this one.
My favorite version of her too.
Yeah the unrealistic Rambo bullshit
Guy, this comment is simply not well thought through
What I also appreciate from this whole larger storyline is that Rick was right. He wanted to go back to kill the survivors - knowing that there would be some and that they would cause trouble, maybe not for *them* but for someone. The group talks him out of it and as a result the surviving Termites proved to be threat later on.
This feeds into Rick's conclusion later where he calls for a pre-emptive attack of the Savioar satellite station, I think.
Very good point! Didn’t think about that in connection to the satellite station attack.
WAIT WHAT
I didn't realize this crazy dude Rick tried to save was the one from the flashbacks UNTIL NOW???
Can you explain wich flashback?
@@felixgrondin3264 the terminus boss and his mother had these flashbacks about people who held them captive and r-word their women, that was the guy who was taking them
@@merlin8046 *raped
r word lmao
@@nevamain yeah I don't want to have my comment deleted XD
The Terminus storyline is still one of my all time favourites, nothing really topped this for me at least, also, Bob getting his leg eaten in front of him is like one of the most shocking things I'd ever witnessed, the helplessness, the horror, just pure savagery!
Alot of people said Season 5 was extremely weak back in the day when it was in recent memory but looking at it through a retrospective, it's honestly not that bad and is still entertaining to watch!
Not really. Back then everyone loved it. That's when I used to see the most hype was season 5 through season 6. Season 4 everyone shat on though for being slow and boring (I don't think that, but I remember recently comments about it each week)
I’ve never heard anyone say that season 5 was bad but okay. The only meh part of it was the Beth Hospital arc, spending so many scenes on her character only to kill her off
What? Season 5 is among the best.
@@multifantv1245 that’s why when I rewatch season 5. I skip straight to 5x08 after 5x05
After they killed all the "main" characters, people started appreciating the seasons where they still appear together.
No Sanctuary IS the best episode of the series in my eyes. I literally wouldn’t change a thing besides carol managing to shoot that rocket at 100% accuracy first time
Carol character development in this episode alone was ICONIC
I never truly saw the severity of the terminus group until they ate bob, but before that the alarming amount of stuffed animal in their storage should chill anyone to the bone. My heart had so many hell yeah and aww moments in this episode. Badass Rick, Badass Carol, the groups big come together, including the Carol reunion with everyone and Judith. I haven't felt this many emotions from a TWD episode in a minute and this was peak.
Rarely do shows hit the crescendo of their popularity (ratings) at the same time that they hit their best quality. THIS episode does both nicely. Truly unique.
Probably my favorite episode. First of all, Carol is so badass here. And for Carol and Rick to reconcile means so much. When Carol and Daryl hugged at then end, I cried. I felt bad for Tyreese, though.
This is my favorite episode of the entire series 👀
Then your lieing to yourself
@@JustMoreAlex you're*
Yeah pretty amazing episode , one of the best of show
@@JustMoreAlex *lying
I've always thought the terminus trough scene was way harder to watch than Glenn and Abes death. Most brutal scene imo. also one of my favorite episodes
I recently rewatched this episode having not seen it since the original release and I totally agree. The brutality and efficiency of it was shocking. You could tell they've done this to hundreds of people
And Rick even had an encounter with the guy at the end of the trough too
I agree and that's why when people complain about season 7, i just tell then to watch no sanctuary again.
Totally agree 💯.. what really drives it up a notch to me, is that there's no music or anything playing AS it's going down. Just the horrifying sounds of screaming in terror and the savage butchery.. I remember thinking "Daaaamn! How'd they get away with _this_ for television!?
In a macabre way, the utter brutality is one of the reasons I love the scene so much. Daryl's reaction to that first kill sums it up nicely with the way I saw it.
I remember before this episode came our thinking " how tf are they gonna get out of this " for like all summer 2014, Then yknow Carol goes & blows the place to bits & takes out all the cannibals with her. This episode honestly changed the direction & course of the series even to this day!
So I rewatched the series last summer from the beginning to S10 to get myself hyped for the final season and when I got to S5 the first episode is still amazing, all these years later I still get goosebumps at the part where Rick stabs that one guy in back, takes his AK and guns down the other Terminus people.
My fifth favourite episode of the entire series, it's just an excellent way to start a season, the second best premiere (my favourite premiere is The day will come when you won't be), it was really unexpected, literally no one thought they would escaped from terminus in the premiere. The two following episodes are also great, especially Four walls and a roof
What are your top 10 episodes?
@@jamescarr1265
1. No way out
2. Too Far Gone
3. The day will come when you won't be
4. The calm before
5. No Sanctuary
6. What comes after
7. The Grove
8. Killer within
9. Better angels
10. JSS
@@talkingonyoutube623 great list 😊
Season 5 is my favorite first episode ever. I dont know what it was exactly, but so much is happening. Carol is such a badass. I love just the way we are introduced to Terminus and left it in the same episode. Great taste!! S5 gave us Four Walls and a Roof and it's still legit gives me chills to this day.
Can’t wait for part 3 of season 11, this channel rlly the only things holding me over
No Sanctuary Is a standard 40 + minute episode But it plays out like a movie Best episode of the entire series's
My personal favorite was 9x05 'what comes after' that stands for Rick his last episode on the walking which was my favorite, especially the bridge scene felt almost perfect to me with the music!
It would have been perfect if it was an actual death scene. I love Rick but I would have rather he died in that moment on the bridge. It would have been a great send off (also would have allowed them more wiggle room with the details surrounding his death, making it possible to have a more heart wrenching death scene, thus more closure).
I hate that what we got was sort of a fake out and we've had no closure on him for 4 years, the amount of people who watch the Rick and Michonne spin off will be nowhere near the amount of people who would have watched had it been done a little sooner.
P.S. I'll be watching regardless. Have missed Andy Lincoln gracing my TV ❤️
@@boringmonkey6958 all i say covid
My favorite season, ratings say it’s the best, and it’s got one of the best episodes ever! Season 5 was so different due to the gritty nature and general aimlessness that we really don’t see in any other point of the show… oh and let’s not forget season 5 Rick with his powerful beard!
This is my favourite episode. Just phenomenal acting, pace and story. Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.
The very first episode of the series did for me what this one does for you. It lets you kno what your in for and it’s perfectly nerve racking, especially the first 15 minutes of the episode. Plus it includes Morgan so I have to love it.
Hope the showrunners stick to their word with their newly announced Rick and Michonne spin off and bring back feral Rick, would also be great to see that version of Rick in the season 11 finale
Was that show going to be a prequel? Because isn't Ricks character arc supposed to end with him not being feral?
@@Wyrm7774 I'd assume it'll be a prequel to the season 11 finale
It would’ve made zero sense for him to go back to being like that after Season 8. That part of him died with Carl.
@@jaydenshepard7928 thats true but theres the question of how hes going to escape the crm. Hes probably gonna kill people.
@@jaydenshepard7928 He has another son now he needs to protect
I recall Rick telling Carol that he saw Sam killed at the trough and she kinda shrugs, I think she had hardened towards the fate of those who wer'nt survivors quicker than Rick, or that you can't save everybody. But the episode where they went in and slaughtered those in the satellite place was harsh and cold AF, and caused their downfall to Negan. Rick and Carol couldn't find the sweet spot for being harsh when you need to be, or as realistic as you should be. Great analysis of a big episode.
Now this is the best episode. Man Carol was on another level here absolute beast.
When the Glen was about to be hit and the A team was put in a line.
I felt my stomach drop😮
Loving these TWD videos keep them coming!
Rick's "they're fu**ing with the wrong people" was an egg-drop moment, I'm not gonna lie! 😊
Such a strong episode. That ending was tough, though- us the audience knowing what those at Terminus went through 😢. However, they needed to fu** with someone else!
This is my favorite era of twd season 5 had its slow moments but it’s almost perfect imo
Agree, man.. that opening trough scene was just absolutely nuts! The crescendo to the deed, and then BAM, no music.. to nothing else but the horrifying screams of terror and savage butchery from the Terminus cannibals on display. Crazy crazy scene.
4x16 and 5x01 is the best two episode stretch in the whole series.
This was when TWD was at its peak. I was so disturbed by the intro. The graphic nature, but the "just another day at the office" exhibited by the Termites was so disturbing.
I remember when my buddies mom sent me the uncensored scene from the ending of season 4. I'm so glad you used that one. It was one of my favorite moments from the comic so when he said screwing I was sad haha
When Rick says they "Fucked" with the wrong people it gives the proper vibe for this episode !!! One cuss word changes the stakes imho ??
When used sparingly and at the right moment, it can elevate the drama of the scene and make a line so much more impactful and memorable.
Negan's uncensored introduction is the perfect example of how NOT to use expletives. I'm actually glad they censored Negan's language in the show, ESPECIALLY his introduction. I get that the uncensored version is more faithful to the comics, but Negan's use of the F word every other word REALLY kills all tension and what he's saying completely loses weight.
The censored version we got was far more intimidating and unnerving. Someone saying "Fuck" "Fucking" "Fuckety" "Fucks" every other word sounds like a child who has just learned the word "Fuck". At that point, it's just embarrassing and not imposing at all.
Abe doing his thinking of keeping people safe.
My fiancé and I started watching the show (my first time, his second), and having videos to watch along with it has been awesome. Thanks for making these videos, helps get me hyped for what's to come, lol I say like I'm not stoked!!
After rewatching the series this is Definitely my favorite episode!!! And the moment Carol really showed her growth! She’s always been one of my faves
You can really see how terminus effected rick later on when he gets to Alexandria and tells them to keep their walls closed as the terminus people used to welcome people and were invaded, rick not only doesn’t trust people at this point but only sees people as potential threats. It’s kind of like how after the ocean side people met the survivors they chose to kill anyone on sight as they couldn’t risk the same again, rick was warning them ass he’s seen what kindness has led too
This is such an awesome episode! As an old lady, which is what I am, it is thrilling to watch the Carol character evolve. What a large portion of men are not understanding about her is that she does nothing by Brute Force. No one thinks that this small woman could win a fist fight. It's her strength of character and her sharpening of her Wiles. She thinks things through, and she uses strategy. I hear a ton of our male fans say she's not all that. You obviously are unable to see the cleverness that was used by The Men Who developed this character for us. Never pretending that she was some physical powerhouse. Every character in this show, Bar None, had their strengths and flaws. I'm so happy that Sarah Wayne Callies fought for this character to stay on the show.
This version of Rick is the sexiest version of Rick.
❣️❣️❣️
Love your channel keep up the work
I would love to see a video on S4 E7. Dead Weight was such a brilliantly written episode. I hadn't seen it in years but rewatching the show and seeing it again recently gave me a huge appreciation for it. It's one of my favorite episodes.
Just started watching and I've loved all your videos so far. Good, thought out analysis of the Walking Dead with personality. Excited to see more
Appreciate that a lot!
So much said without words. One of my all-time favourite episodes
This is my first time watching one of your videos, and I instantly knew where that music from your intro is from 😂 probably my favourite map on BO4
Definitely my favorite BO4 map 😂
Love the videos bro, keep it up💪👍
Enjoying your videos immensely. I'm glad I never sold my seasons 1-9 of TWD.
Thank you for being so fast with my suggestion haha
Started watching TWD very late when I was in junior high and my best memory was this episode! This episode was the reason I got into TWD!
my god, it was so incredible!
Please tell me that you were able to get down to Senoia at least once during the "active years"
What’s next
“No Way Out”
“Days gone Bye”
“Pretty Much Dead Already”
“The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be”
“The Calm Before”
“Conquer”
“Better Angels”
“Killer Within”
I would say do “Not Tomorrow Yet” but you’ve done that already.
“What Comes After”
“Here’s Negan”
Been here for awhile have you? 😂 I might someday redo the Not Tomorrow Yet video because that’s one was demonetized awhile back for some reason. But these are all great episodes and basically all the episodes I had planned on doing too!
All great episodes right there
Still the best episode of the entire series. This is peak walking dead.
This is the best The Walking Dead episode in my opinion.
Next to this would be ofcourse Season 1 Episode 1.
This was the first episode i ever watched n fell in love with the show instant and watched next episode after i finished previous 4 seasons in like a week its so addicting
This episode was just glorious. I remember watching this episode for the first time with my dad. When the explosion happened and it cuts to the intro my dad was so hype to see this episode. Me myself also liked this episode with its good story start off with this season and the action. An the birth of Beast Mode Rick 10/10
This is by far my most favorite episode and also my most favorite season in general
I've just been benge watching all theiftys walking dead videos, I'm loving these videos.
yea they actually were fucking with the wrong people, and you can't forget that little bit of luck that Glenn didn't die before carol did anything
Glenn actually almost died like 600 times 😂
i really enjoy a lot of your walking dead videos! keep it up. :)
Still my favorite episode. A True Masterpiece.
This episode was one of the best premiere's ever! Definitely some great payoffs! Great review!
Just watched this episode the other day... One of the best episodes
I love Rick's "messy murder hair"
Basically from the final prison episode to getting to Alexandria are some of the best and my all time favorite time period and group. Amazing. Also a few episodes after arriving there but definitely not on the same level v
this channel is gunna become big soon
My first TWD episode I ever watched. Was instantly hooked
Ironic since the show was already huge and I watched the main cast get interviewed at a Comic Con in NYC … so figured … gotta check this show out.
Yup. I remember on premiere night. So satisfying. Not 1 disappointing stone left unturned. It could've been a finale. As u said. Even if it was released as a mini in between seasons 4 and 5 movie it would of worked. 3 full acts. With the Tarantino style flashback story telling.
Love the content 🔥 a video about s7 ep 1 would be great 🔥
This one, Better angels and Beside the dying fire are my all time faves.
this is my fav ep tbh
You deserve more subscribers, your videos are great.
Appreciate it my dude! ✊🏻
I remember in the comics the scene “Their F$cking with the wrong people” was such a subtle little square. However how the show captures that intense moment makes it so much more powerful
I feel like they could have drawn it out for one more episode them there living with them then find out slowly what's going on
It's one of my favorite episodes I just wish they took more time to it
I genuinely had no clue there was a post credit scene until now
Season 5 is my favourite, it's so gruesome and realistic, Rick going ham on everything was so good to see, he became a killing demon!
Matpat did a theory video on why the walkers can sneak up on them and attributes it to hearing loss because of firing so many guns without hearing protection.
I really love this episode and season 5 of TWD especially because they get rid of the antagonist very quickly, I found it more interesting when post apo zombie type of medium doesn't really have a main antagonist, just the permanente threat of the walker... Because most of time these arc are more centered around about making you question your humanity and give you moral dilemma to deal with, and they usually have a daunting ambiance (especially in TWD). Season 2 was the perfect illustration of that, the rivalry between Shane and Rick while they are both in there own right, the choice to kill or spare Randal, should we treat the walker the same way we treat our deads or just as threat and massacre them...
My favorites episode of the show are the one without real enemies , season 1 and 2, the two episodes where Morgan has to clear and is at eastman's, season 5 as I sayd earlier or that arc of the massive herd in season 6, sure there's the wolf but Carol destroy them pretty quickly, all of these are always tension packed and I loved them, the no sanctuary is the perfect start for a season like by just destroying the enemy...
Ok it’s very cool to know the name of your outro track, but It may be cool to know what songs you’re using along the video as well :) great point and video then !
Nb : i can ear that most of the songs comes from the ost of the scenes you’re depicting most of the times, but I can’t recognize each ones of them so I’m asking anyway !
I have absolutely been loving these walking dead videos
I never realized that the crazy guy from the container was the same guy in the flashbacks. Wow
I remember it being sunday 2014 watching this with my dad mom and sister good times
I agree, Season 4 was PEAK TWD for me so when Season 5 came out and blew me away within the first few episodes, I remember thinking Season 5 might actually top it.
Who knew that baseball bat scene foreshadowed another heart wrenching baseball scene in TWD history!
Personally if they removed the Beth story line this would have been my favorite season.
If the ending to Beth’s storyline was different then I would still think it’s a fine plot but it just felt like all for nothing when she died
Its amazing because although I loved the group in S1 and S2…This seasons group was just **chefs kiss**
So about a year ago, Me and my boyfriend decided to binge watch twd. He had never seen it before, other than a few episodes from the first three seasons when they came out. He had no interest at first when I asked him if he wanted to watch it with me. Later that night we could not figure out what we wanted to watch so he started falling asleep while I was surfing Netflix. I decided since he was going to sleep that I would just put this episode on bc I hadn't seen it in a while and it was one of my favorites. I realized about 10 mins into the episode that he never actually fell asleep and he was actually watching it very intensely. I just looked at him like???? and after the episode ended he took the remote and started 1x1. We watched the whole thing after that and I was so happy.
Love this episode. The cold logistics treating everyone like cattle is what I love as someone who does stock checks daily.
this episode made me like Carol so much, and bloodthirsty Rick is satisfying to watch lol
Definitely the best episode of the series 🧟♂️
Great vid
I would love to see a review on 18 Miles Out from Season 2. It’s one of my favorite episodes in the series and it has so much importance in how the series has changed
I don’t think it has as much importance as episode 11,12 and 13 in that season
@@Ruzz_. that’s true
I love it too. It really flipped Shane to another level and pushed him into later killing Rick.
5:06 wtf i never noticed it was the crazy guy, so cool
i didnt even notice that it was the same man!! Thats crazy
Love the terminus episodes. Especially the church one. Lol
this and final episode of szn 2 my two fave 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
