Season 5 of AMC's gloriously gory zombie soap opera may have divided fans, but it has still offered up its fair share of heartbreaking and gut-wrenching moments, often at the same time. After much of last season was spent wandering along the train line into the eventual trap of Terminus, the group - assisted by Rambo Carol - broke free from their captors, who ended up barbecuing Bob's leg in front of his eyes after he was snatched from the group's new church HQ in the woods.
