- Thanks for the help getting our buds out of Terminus, guys.
So many spoilers ahead . . .
Despite a number of fancy slogans that refer to their solidarity, it’s safe to say that the cannibalistic residents of Terminus are guilty of putting an I in team more often than not. Sure, they’ve been burned, but who hasn’t in the new reality? Not unlike zombies traveling in packs, they stick together because it makes it easier to feed, and in a merciless few minutes of television, we see their method of slaughtering human prey. Equally telling is the conversation Tyrese has with the ball-cap-kid he and Carol take prisoner. The guy confides that he used to have friends, but hardly remembers what it was like beyond that they watched football together. He also associates being a “bad guy” with survival and being a “good guy” with weakness. Well, he learns too late that good guys sometimes kill—although it might result in a tearful confession, because being part of society means answering for your actions. The “good guys” continue to hold each other accountable.
