"The Walking Dead" - Season 4 Finale






I am a  HUGE fan of this show so  it's always a bummer to see a season end because it won't return for a while. The season four finale was not conclusive and didn't tie up the season, leaving a lot of plot holes and unanswered questions. The only conclusive and positive thing that happens in this season's finale was the group finally finding each other at the end after being scattered in small groups all season long, just trying to survive.

However, their happy reunion is not under the  best circumstances. They're all forced inside a train car together and locked in at the very end of the finale. It doesn't explain why this group has captured them and what their intentions are. It's a hell of a cliff-hanger! But this is too much of a cliff-hanger, and it left too many questions unanswered. The viewer is  left not knowing what the heck is going on, or what is going to happen now? This season, with everyone scattered, they all individually follow signs leading to "Terminus"; a place promising safe sanctuary, stating "Those Who Arrive Will Survive". But come to find out, it's just a trap. I guess we'll have to wait for answers in season six, scheduled to debut in February, 2015.

SO much happened this season that I couldn't sit here and try to talk about everything crazy that took place. It was of course, another great season (just like the first 3). It's a  Zombie-Drama TV show - the first of it's kind! This is an award-winning series with great writing /story-telling and VERY realistic effects and makeup. Director, Greg Nicotero does an amazing job making the zombies and all the carnage look so real and feel so intense. Main writers for the show, Robert Kirkman and Frank Darabont do a very creative job following the original comic books to an extent. They have changed things up quite a bit compared to the comic version and even added new characters. So, even avid readers of "The Walking Dead" comic books, (also written by Robert Kirkman) can enjoy the show too, because it doesn't completely follow the comic's story-line.

Season 4 was awesome and gruesome, but the finale sucked.....
