I just watched the greatest episode of TWD and it was un-f*cking-believable!!! I know I have gushed about a couple of previous episodes that I held in high regard, but those episodes just can not compare to the EPIC premiere tonight. All summer long I have been waiting to see how Rick and the gang would escape their captors at Terminus. Last season I said that it would be Carol that would be the one to save them all. We knew it had to be her, but it was still great that she was in fact the savior. But what I did not foresee was how f*cking bad-ass she would be!!! There is a nice call back to Season 1 when she covers herself up with Walker guts so that she could blend in with the other walkers and gain access to Terminus. From there, it's all carnage. The guys from TWD really stepped up their game and made this extremely gory, especially the bloodletting in the trough. Sick. Not as in awesome, but as in gross. It was wild to see that the first guy to get it was Robin Lord Taylor, better known to the world now as Penguin on Gotham.

There were two great moments that took place apart from one another. Of course there was Terminus. But lets not forget about Tyreese who not only took on a horde of Walkers, but managed to still save Baby Grimes from his own captor. Epic indeed. What really made this an episode for the ages is that it's wall to wall action and explosions. But just when you think that's all there is to it, TWD went and did something I never thought would be associated with the series. It got me choked up. When Darryl and Carol were reunited together, I got teary-eyed. I got a lump in my throat when Rick and Carl were reunited with Baby Grimes. Such a great episode.

FYI, I'm so glad that the writers did away with Terminus. One of the things that got long in tooth was how much time we spent in both the Prison as well as Woodbury. I just didn't want Season 5 to be all about Terminus because it would just be the same sh*t....different location. My worries were all for naught as they literally burned it to the ground.
