"If there's one thingThe Walking Dead handles well, it's season premieres. Regardless of which showrunner any given season (or half-season) happens to be under the direction of, the show has made great efforts to open each new season with a splash. And the season 5 premiere, ‘No Sanctuary' is no different. What's surprising about the episode, though, is the way it recalls the specific kind of momentum the series had gained during the season 4 finale, ‘A'. That was the kind of cliffhanger where the central protagonists were being threatened, and yet at the same time, were also issuing a threat. It was an unexpectedly electric moment that seemingly had no hope of maintaining its charge by the time season 5 rolled around. What's great about ‘No Sanctuary', then, is how seamlessly it connects with ‘A', and how it not only maintains the sense of excitement and anxiety that was promised, but delivers an episode that goes well beyond such promises as well. If nothing else, it certainly wound up raising the bar for the recently announced season 6 premiere in 2015…"

link It works for me. Big voltage moment with the baby in danger.
I'm sure that the green machete would work soon. Do you saw it? Amicalement

For the first time since I started watching the show, this episode had me questioning whether I would want to survive a zombie apocalypse. |

The episode should have been titled, "Carol goes Rambo." |

It was a real head-banger, that's for sure.  |

I liked it a lot. I'm getting numb to dramatized violence but apparently there are still ways to shock me as this episode did. |

Zulu- cattle stampede out of their kraal to stop the Zulus.TWD- Carol's zombie slowpede to stop the Termians. |

Carol was already heading towards "Rambo" mode fro some time. This is the time she really showed it though. |

I thought it was excellent start to finish. Really looking forward to the rest of this season.
My favorite online comment: Photo of Carol with the caption, "Look at the flowers, Terminus." |

At this point in the series I think the zombies have become at best a nuisance when compared to dealing with the surviving humans. I am with Flashman14 on the violence, in that they are still finding ways to kill zombies that are shocking.
I think this will be the best season of all, as the last season hung around a bit to long at the prison. My next to die pick for this season is Glenn. I have not been wrong yet on picking the next major character to die. @Norrins "surviving isn't living" that's what I say. My wife and I are "first wavers" I have diabetes and won't make it past three months without insulin and she says "I was not put on this earth to eat rat". |

I agree, the zombies are less dangerous than other survivors, still a top series though |

When we are going to see "running" zombies?
Was this the "horde" from the road (old chapter) who attack Terminus?
Or the same who besiges the prision? Amicalement

I've watched it twice. The question since we gave it away what were the Terminus' doing with the people they were slaughtering looking like they were someone/something's next meal? |

This is something to check out, the CDC's preparedness 101 Zombie Pandemic.

Thanks to Powerline for the link. |

Agreed, but this is intentional on the part of the show's creators, isn't it? The living can be (are) worse than the dead.

Rick and crew were only able to carry through on their threat by pure luck. If Carol hadn't come by at just the right time, they would have been in the trough with the non-stars. |
| Darkoath | 19 Oct 2014 9:20 a.m. PST |
The Terminus people had become cannibals. I think this was one of the most exciting season openers in recent memory! |
| 14Bore | 19 Oct 2014 1:35 p.m. PST |
Yesterday I watched the Talking Dead and yes the Producer explained they turned into cannibals. But my question would be in the middle of a zombie apocalypse eating people couldn't be very high on my list of things to eat. |

Rick and crew were only able to carry through on their threat by pure luck. If the scriptwriter's on your side you can do anything. |
