Is Terminus in The Walking Dead A Safe Place?

We have heard the sayings about the Walking Dead's Terminus, "Those who arrive, survive. and "Sanctuary for all, Community for all." Is it really a safe place what it appears to be?

In the episode 15 of  Season 4, "Us", we finally have a glimpse of what Terminus is. Previously, we have been given an idea of what this new sanctuary could be . In a radio broadcast heard by Daryl, Michone and Bob, it was revealed that this is a safe haven that is willing to accept survivors.



Glen and his group are welcomed by the unusually quiet place with vegetables growing, long griller and a woman named Mary whose smile seems to have darkness inside. She happily accepts them and offer food. I can sense grave danger here! Too good to be true right? First, it was so easy to get in. No checkpoint. No security.  It's almost a trap. 




Terminus is a compeletely new location and was not mentioned  in the comic book. But there has been a varied speculation that some elements in the book would be featured in this new home like cannibalism by the "skin eaters" called  "Hunters". We shall see more details in the final episode next week or we might have to wait for Season 5 in October 5, 2014.

As a teaser, Walking Dead series creator Robert Kirkman disclosed the following "Terminus could be what it is on face value or it could be hiding something darker. We do try to change things up, so it’s entirely within the realm of possibility that Terminus is all lemonade and sunshine and recliners and pajamas. So we'll see, maybe this season has a happy ending."





What's my take on Terminus?

I think Terminus is somewhat similar to Woodbury. Remember in Season 3 when Glen was abducted by  Governor and his gang. Rick's group then was forced to attack the asylum. I can sense the same pattern. Only the difference this time it's Beth who is abducted by the Terminus gang.

This will again be an interesting  grand finale of Season 4. It would bring all the group together in a huge battle. We shall see Rick's group ( with Carl and Michone ), Daryl and the new found group Marauders in a chaotic reunion that will leave us breathless!
