Top 13 Moments from The Walking Dead Season 4
“Look at the Flowers, Lizzie” (Episode 14, “The Grove”)
And speaking of Lizzie, here it is, her shining moment. Aside from the mid-season finale, “The Grove” was probably the most memorable episode of Season 4, and some would argue it was number one. The lingering wonder about just how the Carol/Tyreese situation would play out was revealed, and we finally found out just who was feeding the walkers and mutilating the animals. Crazy Lizzie! But, of course, this episode is remembered for two deaths: Mika’s at the hands of Lizzie and Lizzie’s at the hands of Carol. “Look at the flowers, Lizzie.” became an instant classic phrase among fans of “The Walking Dead,” and questions of whether the show had finally gone too far, having an insane young girl executed in a field, began to surface. Whatever your opinion on that, what we all must agree on is this was one of the most intense episodes “The Walking Dead” has ever produced.
Glenn and Maggie Reunite (Episode 15, “Us”)
It’s not easy having a love affair in the zombie apocalypse. Just the lack of shower time alone has to put a real damper on the mood. But, to their credit, Glenn and Maggie have stuck with each other through it all and have developed a real love. And this was why it was so difficult to see them separated after the attack on the prison. Throughout the next several episodes, right up until nearly the season finale, we watched as the two tried anything they could to find each other, forsaking all others for the outside chance that they may possibly be reunited. And then it happened. In a dark, collapsed tunnel, Glenn and Maggie finally find each other again in one of the more touching moments of Season 4.
Arrival in Terminus (Episodes 15, “Us,” and 16, “A”)
“Welcome to Terminus. How would you like your Beth? Well done or medium rare?” Of course this is lighthearted speculation as to just what they are eating in Terminus, but would it be any surprise to any of us if it was indeed people? And it makes perfect sense also. This would explain why they went to such great lengths to attract people to Terminus. Why not? If they are eating them, wouldn’t be easier to figure out a way to lure them in, instead of going out and tracking them down? I bet the Soylent Green people wished they thought of that. But regardless of what exactly is going on in Terminus, the fact that the group finally made it there all together was quite impressive. It was a six-episode build-up but certainly worth the effort because when the they finally arrived, we were all quite intrigued to find out just what was happening behind those mysterious walls.
The Real Rick Returns (Episode 16, “A”)
As we said, Hershel was a beloved character, but he did turn Rick into a pussy. Hershel was the one who encouraged Rick’s garden and his new lack of violence. So when he, Carl, and Michonne were attacked by Daryl’s new gang of thugs, it was so nice to finally see Rick snap out of all the pacificity and do something aggressive, like bite a guy in the throat… to death! Now that was vintage Rick. And we could see his aggressive nature had stayed with him even up to the final moments of Season 4 when the reunited group is trapped in a train car with rifles trained on the car from all around. What does Rick do? He tells his friends that these people from Terminus are going to feel pretty stupid because they’re screwing with the wrong people. Now those are some big words coming from a guy who is basically trapped without an escape route. But if nothing else, we know berserker Rick is a real handful to deal with so we’ll just have to tune in and see when “The Walking Dead” returns this October with Season 5.
