So that just happened. I guess we don't get to see Carol and Darrell's adventure? Also I think the secret person Darrell has are people he saved from where Beth was.

dkersten:
Well, that was somewhat cold and psychopathic.. I am a little torn on the way Rick handled that.. "saving bullets" .. hmm.. not too sure about that. I liked how they lured them in like that and the justice of the first couple that went down, but once you have them disarmed and begging for their lives, it changes from a battle for survival to a question of humanity. I would also agree, however, that these people were a threat and an abomination, and had to die, but to hack and beat them to death instead of a swift bullet in the back of the head... a little too much revenge and not so much about justice. But I guess you gotta ask yourself, is it more civil than lining them up at a trough and hitting them in the back of the head one by one before slitting their throats? Particularly while the others watched it happening, knowing they were next?

I guess the only thing that really bugs me is that I believe that Rick should have taken the high road on this one and executed them a little more honorably. And less psychopathically. You gotta look back at the farm and how Shane wanted to kill the kid, but Rick thought it was wrong.. Looks like he has turned into Shane after all...

dkersten:
Couple notes.. obviously spoilers, but I think this whole thread is a spoiler, so don't read the thread if you haven't watched the most recent show.. :)

First, tainted meat.. lol

Second, when they discovered Bob, someone shot a zombie in front of Rick. Why would that be the cannibals? I think it is Morgan who shot..

Third, when the shot came from the forest, Rick turns and empties his gun into the forest. But per my last post, when they ambushed them, they claimed to be saving bullets... Lends to the whole psychopathic execution. They could spare a few more bullets to do what had to be done instead of butchering them.. The looks they got from their own friends said a lot about how they felt too..

Now some speculation about next week: Do you think that whoever kidnapped Beth is experimenting on people, looking for a cure?
And do you think that maybe Daryl found Morgan in the forest?

horizon:
I feel as though dkersten's response about the human condition, and the breaking thereof, persists here. Back when they were in the prison, would they have hacked these guys for not being peaceful? Probably not, they would have put a bullet in their head. When they were escaping Terminus, Rick wanted to make sure they all died. They deserved to die for what they were doing, which was essentially recruiting cannibals, and slaughtering the rest.

Then they attacked one of their own. And cut off his leg. And ate it in front of him. This was all relayed to the group when Bob was able to talk. That's your breaking point of when the Terminus group stopped being human bullies/"bad people", and became monsters. It was completely eye for an eye, and savage, and for a reason. I dont think it was psychotic, per se, because this was the most real threat they have faced, and the most sinister, since leaving Atlanta, imo.

I happen to think the spoiler tag is fun as ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- and Im going to keep using it. ;D

dkersten:
Do you think what they did to Bob was the breaking point? I thought it was the trough..

But perhaps the Bob incident would be fuel for that rage that already exists.
