Questions about The Walking Dead Season 4 Finale

The Season 4 finale of the a Walking Dead is titled "A." It is season 4, episode 16. The summary of this episode is that things are not what they seem at this so called sanctuary they made it to.

Terminus is not a 'Sanctuary for All'

What will the cast of Walking Dead learn about Terminus?

Some speculate that Terminus is run by Cannibals. Eew! That's just gross.

What was that lady cooking on the grill when they entered Terminus?

Good question, and by the way, where was everybody? 

Terminus is supposed to be a place where "everybody survives," according to the signs. Okay, so where are all the survivors?

Meanwhile, the gang of hardened criminals are closing in on Terminus, and they don't plan on "playing nice."

Should we be concerned about this gang of murderers, rapists, and thieves that Darryl is traveling with? Yes. 

One of them saw Rick under the bed, and they plan on getting revenge on Rick for killing their group member on the toilet. I think Darryl will lay low and if they attempt to attack Rick, Darryl will stop them.

Otherwise, Rick is as good as dead.

There are so many things that viewers want to know about Terminus, and where are all the people?

Will viewers get to find out what happened to Beth and who kidnapped her?

Rest assured, many things will be revealed on the season 4 finale of Walking Dead, airing March 30 on AMC.

The Walking Dead Season 4 Finale

After watching the Walking Dead Season 4 finale, there are three things that remain unanswered (spoilers):

1. Where is Carol and Tyrese and baby Judith?
2. Where is Beth?
3. Is Terminus a city of cannibals?

Rick is Past the Point of No Return

Rick is to his breaking point. He bit off a man's throat. This situation was literally life or death for him. Another gang member was going to rape and kill his son, Carl. The leader says that they are going to do the same to Michonne. Two of the marauders attempt to beat Darryl. Rick frees himself then kills the others. He is not playing anymore.

It is interesting that at one point of this season, he was willing to put down his gun and become a farmer. That was abruptly taken from him, so now he has moved to the other extreme. He is taking out his anger and frustration on anyone that tries to harm his group.

Rick Captured in Terminus Does Not End Well

Rick questions where Alex (of Terminus) got Hershel's watch, and where the riot gear came from. They lie to Rick's face. They told Rick they got the items from dead bodies. Lies. Then a sniper shoots Alex, leaving Rick without a hostage.

As they are herded through a Terminus maze, they go through a candle-filled room that says on the wall, "Never Again. Never Trust. We First, Always."

Hopefully this will be explained in detail in The Walking Dead, Season 5.

Rick ends the episode by saying: "They're gonna feel pretty stupid when they find out..." Abraham says, "Find out what?" Rick finished by saying: "...they're screwing with the wrong people."

Uh-oh. Rick isn't gonna be herded into a cattle car and just roll over for these bullies at Terminus.

Guess we'll see what happens next in the season premiere of Season 5.

Robb Stark Killed Off in Game of Thrones Season 3 Episode 9 Red Wedding

Character Robb Stark in Game of Thrones

What happened in Game of Thrones Season 3 Finale Episode 9 ("Red Wedding")?

The Red Wedding is a pivotal episode in Game of Thrones, because of what happens to Robb Stark in the HBO series Game of Thrones. Continue reading to find out what happens to the beloved character, Robb Stark.

The screenplay for this HBO episode was based on "A Storm of Swords" (the third book by George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series.

The Following Details are Graphic In Nature and contains SPOILERS for the Game of Thrones Season 3 Finale

Game of Thrones Season 3, Episode 9 (Red Wedding) is full of action and culminates with the death of Robb Stark. This was payback because Robb Stark did not marry Lord Walder Frey's daughter. Therefore, Walder Frey had all of the Starks killed. Unfortunately, Robb Stark dies, and the Westeros is in mourning for their late "King of the North".

Yes, Robb Stark dies. Most people did not see this coming so soon. Even the actor, Richard Madden got on a plane to London and cried all the way home. You could say that he was a bit sad after the events in Season 3 Episode 9: Red Wedding.

As mentioned above, Robb Stark was not the only one to die in this gory episode, as most of the Stark family (including Robb's mother) met their doom, as well as faithful Stark soldiers. Sansa is still alive under the Lannister household and Arya Stark - who was literally about to be reunited with her mother and brother in the episode.

Even U.S. News &World Report called the Red Wedding episode: "...one of the most graphic scenes in television history."

Author George R.R. Martin had a hard time writing this episode, as he revealed to Entertainment Weekly.

This episode is so pivotal and graphic, that many people had to watch it again to see everything that happened.

It is obvious that Walder Frey is not a patient man as he orchestrates the death of the Starks after Robb Stark chooses to marry Talisa instead of a daughter of Lord Walder Frey. He takes matters into his own hands to ensure Robb Stark is killed.

How does Robb Stark die in Game of Thrones?

Robb Stark and The Stark Family Falls to the Sword in Season 3 Episode 9

Robb Stark (the King of the North) is played by Richard Madden. Unfortunately, you will not be seeing any more of him, because he dies along with his pregnant wife Talisa. Catelyn Stark and the King's army also die an ugly death.

Talisa dies first, being stabbed in the stomach at the hands of Walder Frey. This is very sad to watch. Catelyn Stark then tries to stop this by grabbing Walder Frey's wife and holding a knife to her throat, to which he replies:  "I'll find another."

Everyone wants to know how Robb Stark dies. I have the answer to the question: How does Robb Stark die?

Are you ready to find out how Robb Stark dies?

How Robb Stark dies in the HBO series Game of Thrones Season 3 Episode 9?

The Death of Robb Stark in Game of Thrones Episode 9

In the HBO series, Robb Stark is stabbed through the heart by Roose Bolton. In the Game of Thrones, Episode 9 Season 3 Finale, Roose Bolton is not wearing a pink cloak as he stabs Robb Stark through the heart (see picture above). In the HBO series, Robb Stark's final spoken word is "mother." Later, his direwolf's head was sewn onto Robb Stark's body, indicating the direwolf was killed also.

How Does Robb Stark Die in the book, Storm of Swords?

In George R. R. Martin's book, Storm of Swords, page 583, Robb Stark dies at the hand of Roose Bolton with a sword through his chest. Roose Bolton was wearing a pink cloak in the book, which happens to be the color of the House Bolton. Roose Bolton is seen many times wearing a pink cloak.

Popular Theory that Robb Stark died Twice in the book Storm of Swords

In a theory that George R. R. Martin has not yet confirmed, there is a theory that Robb Stark actually died twice in the book, Storm of Swords. That is because in the book Storm of Swords, Robb Stark's final word is different than in the HBO series. In the HBO series, Rob Stark's final word is "mother" but in the actual book, his final words are "Grey Wind" (his direwolf), who is also killed at the Red Wedding. The theory is that Robb Stark transferred his consciousness to his direwolf in the moments before his death. His direwolf is also killed, which, if his consciousness was transferred over first by warging (see below), Robb Stark would have died twice.

Robb Stark's direwolf head sewn onto his body

This ability for a character to transfer their consciousness is called "warging" and George R. R. Martin has confirmed that all of the Stark children do have the warging ability, thus making this theory very plausible.

Who dies next?

Catelyn Stark cuts the throat of the girl she is holding captive. Catelyn Stark then has to watch her eldest son die, and then she has her own throat slit. 

When it comes down to it, King Robb Stark wound up much like his Father (Ned Stark) after making bad decisions on the throne. Because of his untimely death, it looks like he will not be the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms. 

This should come as a shock to fans of the show. Many fans now see the deviousness of Walder Frey, and will be watching him very closely in future episodes.

Andrea Killed by Zombie in the Walking Dead Season 3 Finale

The Walking Dead; Andrea

The Walking Dead Season 3 finale ended with a bang. But that bang was not the sound of a gun in the zombie apocalypse.

THE WALKING DEAD SEASON 3 SPOILERS COMING

Andrea, played by Laurie Holden, was killed off in the Walking Dead Season 3 finale, which has been one of the biggest liberties taken by the TV show that may have a backlash from fans of the original graphic novels written by Robert Kirkman. She's done been eaten. But it did not happen this way in the graphic novel.

Sadly, Andrea on the Walking Dead is dead, and she is not coming back, unless she comes back as a zombie. Don't expect to see her in Season 4 of the show.

Andrea Survived in the Walking Dead Comic Book

Maybe Andrea’s fate could have been avoided. After all, in the comic book, she had a relationship with character Rick (played by Andrew Lincoln). But that will not be played out on the television show because she is dead, and it is The Governor’s fault. He is the one that stabbed Milton. He is the one that unleashed zombified Milton on Andrea. Poor Andrea. She had nothing against Woodbury or the Governor.

Unfortunately for Andrea, she allowed the Governor to escape, and as irony has it, he is the one who is responsible for her death. Life isn’t fair sometimes. Especially on zombie apocalypse television shows.

Some critics of the Walking Dead believe the show is out of imagination and the story lacks creativity. Andrea should not have died in this manner, and should have lived longer on the television show.

On top of that, the Governor seems to be running around, taking out good people, while Rick is left with a crew that keeps losing people, not counting the new Woodbury folks that are comprised of old people and children. Should Rick really consider keeping this vulnerable crowd at the prison?

Robert Kirkman says this about the Walking Dead to TVGuide.com: “There’s definitely some improvements to be made on how we did things in Season 3, but I don’t necessarily regret anything because it’s all part of learning and moving forward and trying to make the best show possible.”

He also says: “Moving through the story quickly is something that is essential to this show. You want to keep viewers on their feet. You want to keep telling as much story as possible in each episode and keep the story moving forward at a quick pace. I think that’s what the audience wants and that’s something that will continue into Season 4. I think we’ve perfected things a little bit more. The show is a learning process to a certain extent because it’s such a different kind of television show.”

The biggest head scratcher to date is killing off Laurie Holden’s character, Andrea, without exploring her relationships with Rick or Dale.

Will the Walking Dead lose viewers because of this?

Only time will tell.

Explosive Terra Nova 2 Hr. Season Finale Airs on FOX



Terra Nova Wallpaper; copyright FOX

Terra Nova wraps up its first season with a 2 hr. finale on FOX - airing Monday, December 19th.

This first season has delivered on its promise to provide action-packed, sci-fi drama during prime time television.

One of the most power characters on the show is played by Stephen Lang, who plays Commander Nathaniel Taylor - the military leader of the Terra Nova colony. It may strike an ironic chord with some, because in the movie, Avatar (2009), he played Col. Miles Quaritch, the bad military leader who was out to strip the planet of Pandora of all its resources. But now, Lang's character Nathaniel Taylor is on the opposite side of the fence. While he is still a hard-nosed military leader, now his character is now concerned about the survival of the human race in the past, and will do whatever it takes to stop the money-hungry private interests from the future, to strip the past Earth of its vast resources.

What we can see from both of these roles is that Stephen Lang makes a convincing military leader, and was brilliantly cast for this role in Terra Nova.

The other male lead on the show is Jim Shannon, played by Jason O'Mara. He is the "Sheriff" in town, carrying out any investigations that need solving in the Terra Nova colony, while also balancing out the role of father to the Shannon family.

The show wrapped up episode twelve on a suspenseful note - Commander Taylor's son went back to the future with plans to bring back an army that wants nothing less than to destroy Terra Nova, and then strip the past of any resources of any value to profit from in the future.

Previews for the 2 hr. season finale on FOX show that the colony of Terra Nova must fight for their freedom, because there is a battle coming in their near future, and it's going to be an explosive episode. Literally.

According to NY Magazine, the ratings weighed in from this season finale will determine if Terra Nova will get renewed for a second season. Producers are expected to pitch their vision for season two to FOX executives to try and keep life in the Terra Nova franchise, after a thirteen-episode run of season one.

So let's hope that Terra Nova ends on a season-high bang, giving it an opportunity to continue its story on FOX in 2012.
