Yeah, I think that's a plot point we'll just to have to wait and see about when we finally find out what this Terminus is.

 

This is how it started:

Maybe they were exiled like Carol? Anything is possible.

I highly doubt we will get much more, if any, of their background. Their deaths were just to throw us off. Or rather, to throw Daryl and Beth off. Make them think that the prison members were dead.

 

I haven't read the comics but I got the impression the people by the tracks were some random group on the way to Terminus. They probably heard about it or saw another sign posted somewhere but that place sounds too good to be true and it has an ominous name—Terminus means end of the line.

 

The general consensus from what I've seen is that these two were the last of their group and heading towards Terminus (we're to assume they heard the radio message and or saw the signs). As for why they didn't appear to be armed at all, that's pretty baffling, I agree.

Some people have speculated that they're Hunters trying to lure Carol and the rest into a trap, but that doesn't really make much sense to me. It just seems way too elaborate and contrived. They're willing to commit suicide (by letting themselves get devoured) to lure them? That's hard enough to swallow without thinking of what the point would've been if their planned victims didn't follow their 'sincere' advice to follow the tracks.

 

I think its funny that everything that someone doesn't understand is 'bad writing' or that EVERYTHING needs to be some huge plot point. Its just showing that there are other survivors, it threw us off with the Daryl and Beth tracking, it gave Carol a chance to be introduced at a distance from Tyreese to see how they would meet. Tyreese thought it was Sasha or someone else. They also probably would of went back into the woods if it weren't for that guy telling them about Terminus. Carol said "the woods have more cover", so chances are they would of headed right back into the woods for the night and never followed the tracks to find the Terminus sign. Those people weren't pointless, nor was it lazy/bad writing.

 

LOL, TWD is fairly straight forward and tame compared to many shows. Its ok to make us use our cerebrum once in awhile. Now Lost had a lot of unanswered questions.

 

There were two men, a woman and a boy. The woman and boy were being devoured when Tyreese came upon them. The older man had a rifle, but must have been out of ammo. The younger guy had a bat and killed a couple of walkers before being bit in the arm and then leg.

I'm sure they were heading towards Infernum.

 

That scene was all for nought. Tyreese was such an ass for leaving two children (one homicidal, btw) and a baby alone in the woods in the zombie apocalypse to die to try to rescue people that all died anyway. I will shed no tears when he dies.

 

I'm wondering whether that radio signal Daryl got during their meds run in the first half of season 4 has anything to do with it...

 

Well, clarity is often in the nostril of the beholder.

Those meaningless things are quite so meaningless oft times...

 

They were just red-shirts, however what I do dislike in The walking dead is that these people have survived a long time they meet now and yet are useless it seems. How did they survive so long when whenever the group ever meet people they die straight away.

 

They were a bunch of Boneheads. All they had to do was run away.. Slow moving zombies, i

 

Name one thing you think is bad writing, and I bet there is a reason for it.

 

My question is what is the group in general? Could it be the ASZ?

 

So the show is bad because you think it's bad? What kind of thinking is this? There are a few shows that bore me, but I don't think they're bad shows. Mad Men is a show I couldn't get into but it doesn't look awful.
