<p>I assumed you meant the second article too as the one you posted didn't address the final episode. She's a bit of a weird fish that reviewer. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I still don't think the finale lived up to the series as a whole (and I don't need all loose ends tied up in the least), but as I said the show is still awesome.</p>

<p>What were you expecting from the final? Not having a dig, just curious about the angle you were hoping for. One loose end I never want tied up is what that obese creature meant by "making flowers", interesting that the place where they had the ceremonies with the kids was quite overgrown and rundown.</p> -
I like 2/3 of the finale, that obese dude and his missus, something is didn't need a thought of...

Possible sister/cousin I try not to think about whether or nor they confirmed that. -

<p>Finale of Walking Dead - pretty good, if not a little predictable (the ending anyway)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]That scene where Rick, Mishawn, Darryl and Carl killed those dudes was pretty brutal!<br><br>
You always knew that Terminus was going to be a failure, the only question is to what end are they being held?<br><br>
My thought was that they are feeding the Walkers somewhere which somehow keeps them away.<br><br>
The fact that they could walk in without any resistance or seeing anyone should have alarmed them, although I guess they just wanted it to be a 'sanctuary' so bad, they ignored any warnings?<br>
[/spoiler]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Am 8 eps into Justified also, as always, enjoyable, although I do miss the banter between Raylan and Boyd....</p> -

The scene where they killed those guys was in the book, terminus isn't though . They might be the main course for the residents. -

<p>[spoiler]That ties in with something my brother said about the comics, said there were cannibals but it was at a house rather than a 'city/safe haven' like Terminus.<br>
[/spoiler]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This series has moved up in pecking order of my fave shows though; that harrowing scene a couple of weeks ago is testament to the show not being afraid to push things (not that that helped make it my fave)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Very keen for the next series now!</p> -
<p>I don't know how to spoiler sorry. [spoiler]</p>
<p>The cannibals in the book failed as hunters so ate their own kids and moved onto hunting people. Because there was no electricity to run fridges and freezers they cut off limbs and ate them while keeping their victim alive to stretch the food further . I swear when they were running around the compound I heard someone yelling out "help us", will watch that part again . Also theres an incredibly gory drawn out death of a main character in the book that the author says is not likely to make it onto the show. I don't think I need to see someone slowly beaten to death with a baseball bat wrapped in barded wire to be honest with you.</p>

<p>Walking dead Finale</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]Terminus folk are definitely cannibals. As they were herding the through the station via gunfire, they ran through a pile of human skeletons and bones from earlier meals. The ending gave me the shits. Based on their experience with other groups (The Governer, Darryl's new friends etc), why are they still so trusting? Why not leave Michonne, Carl and Darryl in the woods to watch as Rick walks in alone to see what happens. That way, if it is a cannibal trap, you have options. Instead, all of them are in the railcar, waiting for their turn on the grill.[/spoiler]</p> -
<p>Walking Dead - [spoiler]Yeah Rick was suspicious, but they still were far too trusting.<br><br>
The fact there were no people on look out or guarding the gates/fences indicates they probably had people hiding or even stationed further out and had signalled the approach of new people, so they sit and wait.<br><br>
I guess they just wanted the 'sanctury' so bad, they believed it, and let thier guard down. Tyrese and Carol are still out there, Beth is all alone, or possibly already been to lunch...Andrea is out there too I guess, but she's probably the leader of this lot! [/spoiler]</p> -

<p>[spoiler]Andrea is dead. Remember she offed herself in the governors torture chamber after she was bitten so that she wouldn't turn in last season's finale.[/spoiler]</p> -
<p>I watched the final two episodes of How I Met Your Mother last night.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For 3 and a half years (the first 3 and a half seasons) I would have had this show in my top 10 of all time. It was funny (which you want from your sitcoms) but it was also well written with ongoing storylines like the good dramas. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In season 4 they lost their way when they started to focus on Barney who was the hilarious character on the edge. Since then the show became a ratings hit in the US and has run 9 seasons, which have mostly been utter garbage, but I've kept watching because those initial series were so good. They had a brief quality renaissance whenever the Mother was featured this year, but the episodes were too few and infrequent. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, what did I make of the final episodes ... well, they were pretty crap. Mega spoiler to follow.</p>
<p>[spoiler] Firstly, the mother is dead! WTF, that is so stupid, especially after they spent a season integrating her into the story. But no, they wanted Ted to be with Robin and so that's what they did. The problem being that everyone stopped caring about Ted and Robin as a couple ages ago. Furthermore, they just spent a season getting Barney and Robin to their wedding and then they end that in about 10 minutes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also, the episode's were really ragged, they were jumping all over the place. FFS, they had 4 seasons where they could have done all this instead they just retreaded storylines about Ted dating and did silly will they, wont they with Barney and Robin.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ah well, it's over, no more having to watch as an obligation, but man I really wish they'd pulled off a better ending.</p>

<p>i gave up on it a few series ago. it used to be piss funny, but well over-stayed its welcome. So i read the spoilers after the final episode had aired in the US and laughed to myself, bullet dodged there. What a shit ending. </p> -

<p>What is annoying is that if they'd played out the last 40 minutes over two seasons it could have been good - and maybe even piss funny.</p>

<p>Unfortunately I'd invested too long in the show so there was no way I could dodge the bullet. </p> -
<p>Walking dead</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>[spoiler] Just watched the terminus scene again, Rustycruiser is right there are freshly butchered skeletons in the chase scene and as I said there is another shed full of people calling for help that they pass.The series is imho really well written there are things that really mess with you the more you think about them, Carol losing one daughter then basically adopting to more and having to kill one after it kills the other, a bunch of scenes with Herschel saying " we can be farmers" etc and then they end up in the hands of people farmers. I think one of the group will be eaten . probably the fur trader from the governors group or as an outside chance Carl. When Rick turns the tables on them he'll go medieval like he did in the book where they hacked them to pieces and incinerated their bodies. Also Carol and Tyrese, my guess is they will be too smart to go in together. Maybe Carol goes in with Judith and Tyrese sneaks in when he doesn't get her signal. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Does anyone else find it weird that the leader of the group Daryl was in had no problem with rape, child rape and murder but couldn't swear "dearie me, a hole, walking piece of fecal matter etc"? [/spoiler]</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Looking forward to the spinoff,</span><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/ustv/s135/the-walking-dead/news/a561564/walking-dead-spinoff-will-tell-new-kinds-of-stories.html#~oAfqsG8CTjmNBL'>http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/ustv/s135/the-walking-dead/news/a561564/walking-dead-spinoff-will-tell-new-kinds-of-stories.html#~oAfqsG8CTjmNBL</a></p>
<p>Also the shorts on youtube and vimeo of cold storage and the bicycle girl back story and well worth checking out.</p> -
<p>All this discussion of he Walking Dead has got me interested. I might have to start watching it as my one episode a day series now that I've just finished Deadwood.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>How does it rate as a series in comparison to The Wire, The Sopranos, BSG, The Shield, FNL, the above mentioned Deadwood, Mad Men etc? Is it at the same level?</p>
