Did you notice the cross is the back window of the car that took Beth? Some speculate that the cross in the car wasn’t a religious cross but more like a hospital’s cross.
Is Beth with Father Gabriel Stokes? Was it Father Gabriel’s house that Beth and Daryl found? What many had originally thought to be a trap, could be a place that Father Gabriel had stocked with supplies not to lure survivors but to help them? Beth may have dropped her backpack before getting into the car but was she kidnapped? Was it Father Gabriel trying to save her before the walkers got her? Maybe Beth under the impression that Daryl’s bad-assery wasn’t enough to save him so she high tailed it out of there?
Was Father Gabriel part of Terminus but left when they turned to cannibalism? Is Father Gabriel now trying to warn people away from Terminus? Is Gabriel working with Albert, the Terminus sentry who was watching the perimeter when Rick’s group snuck into Terminus? Could Gabriel and Albert be working together? Did you notice the shadowy form in the woods outside of Terminus when Rick was burying the gun bag? Could this have been someone wanting to warn them against going into Terminus but delivering the warning too late?
It’s all possible. The comic book version of Father Gabriel plays a rather large part in the story when the survivors confront the cannibalistic hunters.
If Father Gabriel is trying to warn people away from Terminus, it’s possible that this may be the connecting factor that brings Beth, Tyrese, Carol and Judith back together. It could also be a character, like Albert, who warns Tyrese and Carol away from the supposed safety of the sanctuary.
Terminus is all together just plain scary as Hell. Michonne was right in thinking that Terminus could be worse than Woodbury. We’ve only just seen brief glimpses of the sanctuary but we know enough from the subtle hints that this is not the place you’d want to spend the zombie apocalypse in.
Did you happen to notice the pile of meaty bones that littered the ground as Rick and crew were being herded to depot “A”?
Why would the people of Terminus leave the discarded scraps laying around? Wouldn’t the smell attract walkers? For that matter, the people of Terminus didn’t seem bothered to waste all the bullets on herding Rick’s group through the depot or if the noise of their gun battle would attract the walkers? Do the people of Terminus feel that their safety in the depot can’t be compromised? Are they that well armed? Are they feeding the walkers on one side of the building, drawing them in, leaving the other clear?
The floor of the candle room that the survivors found was covered in writings of people’s names. Are these people that had lost their lives after coming to Terminus? Or are they people who lost their lives because they came to Terminus? Are the names of the people written on the floor survivors or people that the people of Terminus deemed unworthy and cannibalized? Could the people of Terminus be a crazy religious sect that are someone justify their horrific actions during the apocalypse?
Are the people of Terminus keeping their walker loved ones “alive” much like Hershel did during with his during the show’s second season?
