The Walking Dead is literally life. I'm really
obsessed with the series. I have watched all of the seasons of this spectacular
show on Netflix over the summer and waited impatiently for what seemed like
years for October to come, when the excitement would begin again with the
season premiere of the fifth season. I love all the characters so much, but
Carl Grimes played by actor Chandler Riggs, would have to be my favorite. Not
only is he you know, extremely attractive, but he's funny, sweet, brave, and brings
out the best in others even though they're all going through a terrible time
which just happens to be a zombie apocalypse. The way the show is set up, with
there being a villain pretty much every season, honestly brings me closer to
the show and wanting to know what will happen next. Will the villain get to the
group? Will they take a group member? Will the group defeat the villain?
Recently, there was a villain and his name was Gareth. Saying his name just
makes me sick, ugh. Anyways, Rick and a few others (his group got split up
because of a different villain known as the Governor, last season) started
their journey to a place called Terminus which seemed to be a good place to go
since signs to Terminus said "Sanctuary for all, community for all, those who
arrive, survive." Well, that was a big mistake. They later found out the
people at Terminus were cannibals. Yep, they were indeed cannibals. How sick
are they?! Luring others for "sanctuary" but killing and eating them
instead? And their excuse is "there's no food" and "we're
starving." This is a lie because there are obviously still animals alive,
and places nearby where they could have gotten food. Were they just too lazy?
Or have they always had the cannibal personality running through their veins?
Carol, one of the group members who got split from Rick's group, saw a herd of
walkers going towards Terminus and before that, a lot of gun shots. She assumed
her group members were the ones being shot at and rescued their lives by
shooting a gas tank and sending fireworks to it, which lead to an epic
explosion. Rick and a few others in his group were just about to get their
heads bashed in and their neck's slit but then Gareth asked Rick why he hid a
bag outside of Terminus and what it contained. Rick told him it contained weapons
and started naming them while promising he'd use his red handled machete to
kill Gareth. Gareth, just stood there and laughed, I mean come on, it's not
like Rick can actually do that, he's tied up about to die. Just as someone else
was going to die, Carol’s explosion hit the building they were all in. Gareth
left, checking to see what happened and who it affected. That was just enough
time for rick to escape, and kill the two sickos who were about to kill him.
All of Rick's group reunited and along the way, found a pastor that led him to
his church for real sanctuary. The group was very low on food, so Bob and a few
others went on a run while the rest protected Judith, Rick's baby. On the run,
Bob got attacked by a walker and said he was fine. Although by his face, I
could tell he'd been bitten or scratched. After gathering supplies and arriving
safely back at the church, Bob went outside in the darkness to cry. He knew he
wouldn't have long to live, which made me die inside because he's one of my favorites.
Just then, Bob got knocked upside the head by someone from the Terminus group,
making him unconscious. As Bob awoke, Gareth stood by him saying how Bob
"tasted so much better than he thought." This made me confused at
first, because Bob appeared to be fine. But as Bob looked down, below his knee
on his used to be left leg was gone. He looked around at the people-eaters
noticing how they were all eating something. A look into the fire, he saw his
leg. At first, he was crying. But that shortly turned into hysterical laughter
and Bob screaming "I'm tainted meat! TAINTED MEAT!!" while showing
the group his bite. The man-eaters started throwing up Bob, but Gareth was
positive eating cooked flesh of an infected person was okay. Um excuse me, eating
people is not okay! But little do those cannibals know everyone is infected. Meanwhile at the church, Rick's
group notices that Bob has disappeared and finally decide to leave half of the
group to protect Judith, and half to go out looking to kill the cannibals. As
soon as half of the group leaves the church, the sickos walk in saying if the
ones hiding in the church surrender, they'd leave Judith alone. Just then, two
of the cannibals were shot. Gareth turned around, to see a gun pointed at him
by the one and only, Rick Grimes. In this moment, I was about to cry because 1,
Rick is finally going to kill these terrible people which is amazing. And 2, he
didn't keep his promise... I thought too soon though, because just as I was
about to let my hopes up, Rick pulled out his red handled machete and I just
knew he'd kept his promise. And he did, as he sliced Gareth into pieces. That
had to have been one of the best scenes on the show ever.
