“They screwed with the wrong people!” These are the cliff hanger words that we’ve heard from Rick in the last episode of Season 4 of The Walking Dead. A lot of questions came to our mind like: Who will help Rick’s group to escape from the train car and to get out of TERMINUS? Will they get out safely without someone being killed? Are the people of Terminus really cannibals?
We’ve seen a lot of teasers of Season 5… Bob said “You don’t have to do this… We can fix this. We told you there’s a way out of all this. You just have to take a chance.” We have a man who knows how to stop it. He has a cure. We just have to get him to Washington. We can put the world back to how it was…” And Oh Yes! Beth Greene is alive! In the flesh!
Finally, the long wait is over!
