7. Nobody Gets Eaten
When last we saw Rick and Co. on screen, they were disarmed and trapped in a train car by Gareth and his band of deposed Apple Geniuses. While it was nice to see that the first wave of survivors to arrive had lost their possessions without also losing their choicest cuts of meat in the process, things aren't looking too promising for the good guys. Nobody of any importance has died on the show since Hershel in the first half of Season 4; surely, somebody that we know and/or love was going to kick the bucket at Terminus in the Season 5 premiere. We'd only need to wait until mid-October to find out who. As it turned out, we actually only needed to wait until the end of July to discover who would be flayed, and
flambéed, and served with flatware:
Nobody. Despite the horrifying-or maybe not, depending on your taste-trailer images of our heroes beaten, bound, gagged, and on their knees for execution, we almost immediately thereafter see everybody from Team Boxcar strolling through the forest alive and well. Nobody is eaten at Terminus. Well, nobody we care about, anyway. The Termites may have had time for a first course of extras.
