    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      There are 5 bible verses listed on the board when the group enters the church. They are: Romans 6:4 - We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. Ezekiel 37:7 - So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. Matthew 27:52 - The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. Revelations 9:6 - During those days men will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them. Luke 24:5 - In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, Why do you look for the living among the dead?"
    • Goofs
      On the path away from Terminus, Rick and Daryl whisper to each other that the group is being followed. Later (despite knowing Gabriel wasn't following them), the whole group is relaxed inside the church. Daryl and Carol just leave. Bob steps outside, oblivious to any danger. This would mean that Rick and Daryl not only never told the others about being followed, but apparently forgot all about it.
    • Quotes

      [Rick and the group find and meet Father Gabriel for the first time]

      Rick Grimes: Do you have any weapons on you?

      Father Gabriel Stokes: Do I look like I would have any weapons.

      Sgt. Abraham Ford: We don't give two short and curlies what it looks like.

      Father Gabriel Stokes: I have no weapons of any kind. The word of God is the only protection I need.

      Daryl Dixon: Sure didn't look like it.

      Father Gabriel Stokes: I called for help. Help came.

      Rick Grimes: How many walkers have you killed?

      Father Gabriel Stokes: Not any, actually.

      Rick Grimes: Turn around. How many have you killed?

      Father Gabriel Stokes: None.

      Rick Grimes: Why?

      Father Gabriel Stokes: Because the Lord abhors violence.

      Rick Grimes: What have you done? We've all done something.

      Father Gabriel Stokes: I'm a sinner. I sin almost every day. But those sins, I confess them to God, not strangers.

      [Rick and the group stay weary of Father Gabriel and continue to move on]

    The Walking Dead
    I love this show but not as much as my wife . Teresa Werber she would just die if she couldn't see Rick and the gang every time it is on she watches it lol. This year is the best yet and she says the best is yet to come lol. She also says not to be killing off her family!!!!!! Let us have our little blond back.Well we just love this show. We have been watching this show since it first aired. Its the best television show on in this century. Keep up the hard work it will be rewarded.We hope we can win the trip to see casting and filming live. My wife lost her leg to diabetes just last month and she said Now I am like Huersal. Do you know she crys every time one of the original group dies. well all I have to say is this show is the most original show you could have made. I think if this should happen today it would be exactly like this and we would be in this original group.
