TWD isn't known for cliff hangers at the end of the season so I think it'll play out like this:

A) intro to Sanctuary
B) tearful reunion as all the protagonists start to arrive.
C) Rick and Carol have a moment but Rick is pleased to see her after all.
D) Crossbow guy stumbles across bad guys who hold blonde OR her body. This'll be the ending.

Nope.

I'm interested in seeing what happens from here. The people in the camp were intentionally not actually shooting them (though that didn't work out so well when they killed their own mate), so the reason might be interesting. They seemed to shepherd them to their destination via that weird room. If I wasn't lazy I'd go back and see what exactly was in it. There was also a yard with some weird shit in it, like remains or something.

I hope they're not cannibals.

couldn't they just kill them and eat them if that was the case (unless they want the meat fresh)

Tyresse and Carol find Rick's Stash and use it rescue them, are we missing any other survivors from the prison?

Beth

... the chap from the first episode? He had a kid and was waiting out. Then we saw him a series or so ago with a small arsenal and a ton of zombie traps in another town. He had gone a bit mental. I think Rick stole all his guns.

with the other people locked up. I think it was Negan

I do wonder if the flashbacks to where the cannibals are the ones getting locked up and tortured will be a thing for the whole series or not, to give them context and involve them further.

Bob was acting weird before he was taken... we thought for sure he'd been bitten and was walking off into the woods to cry and kill himself. Do you think there's a chance of that, or not since the cannibals would surely have spotted it? If not, why was he leaving?

you are right but the cannibals might just have saved him. Or turned themselves

he seemed very familiar to them, and they said it was poetic that they caught him. Was that just meaning anyone from his group, or specifically him? I don't recall Bob doing much of interest with them at Terminus that would warrant special attention

1) A new black guy! That means an existing black guy has to die!
2) Now there are three cast members from The Wire in the group!

Surprised that storyline came to an end so quickly!

Interested to see what the cliffhanger is about. Obviously not just Carol coming out of that bush.

So to speak.

Well they left to go after Beth, so it might be her. Or we saw Morgan at the end of episode one, so it might be him too, or possibly one of the guys who nabbed Beth.

Dale getting killed, although he was getting a bit whiny.

Shane getting killed, I mean, in a way the Season was working towards something having to happen with Shane because he was going a bit batshit, but even so.

Rick going nasty at the end, and if I'm honest, that didn't ring entirely true for me. About 38 seconds earlier Lori was telling him how Shane represented a dreadful danger to them all, then when Rick tells her Shane was going to murder him and he killed him in self-defence, she gets all pissy about it. This is woman logic I suppose.

The other thing with Rick going nasty is he was taking the most spectacular risks to find Sophia and even avoid killing Randall, and then on a sixpence he turns into NASTY RICK. Bit odd.

What are the zombies eating? We've fast-forwarded about 8 months from the end of Season 2, and skipped winter entirely, which I guess is convenient as I was thinking zombies would have a hard time in a bitterly cold winter. They've still got brain activity and they seem to like to move around a lot, so they need energy, but I can't see any evidence of any ongoing food source for them.

Which leads onto why don't they eat each other? I always thought it was an unwritten zombie rule that they don't each other, but then in Season 2 there was the zombie hanging from a tree, which is the guy who left a note saying he'd been bitten and was hanging himself, so then he reanimates in-situ in the noose, and Daryl explains that other zombies have been feeding on its legs.

So this clearly establishes the precedent that zombies will eat other zombies, but why don't any of the others do it? If they're prepared to eat each other I'd expect some sort of 'survival of the fittest' (given the confines of zombification) to kick in, but there's no sign of that.

Plus I wish they'd decide how good zombies are at detecting humans, one minute they appear to be able to sniff a scent of blood or indeed just a human from twenty feet away, and the next minute the humans can just hide behind a wheelie bin and zombies will walk right past them.

I do like the prison set up but it leads me back to the previous point, there are fucking loads of them in there and they've apparently managed to survive a long harsh winter, yet we have no idea how, and they've had no food source.

Oh yes and the last shot of Season 2 is them looking into the distance and seeing the prison, how come it takes them 8 months to get there.

AND HOW IS THAT HYUNDAI STAYING SO FUCKING CLEAN.

I'm niggling here really, overall I'm very much enjoying it but there are a few inconsistencies in there.
