Carol: "We're friends with the chick with the sword and the kid in the hat." The theme of humans being the worst enemy of humans continues with this amazing first episode of season 5. Martin was pissing us off but he was also an interesting character. He illustrated how far the Terminus group had fallen into despair and inhumanity after spending so much time being brutalized themselves. And Carol! of course, she owned this episode.

When Rick reunites with Judith, it cuts to Carol and Michonne, who’ve both lost a child. Then when Sasha and Tyrese reunite, it cuts to Daryl, who’s lost a brother.

Daryl's overwhelming happiness at seeing Carol is so raw and pure. Once he's in her arms is the moment he can feel and express some of the sadness he's been bottling up. I consider this episode to be a perfect combination of action and emotion. Onward we go!

What a premiere! The birth of 'gangsta ass' Carol, as Jimmy Macram coined. She's had such an amazing arc up to this point. From a meek abused wife to an independent, strong warrior. MVP of the group.

The way Daryl just lays his head back on Carols shoulder after they hug just melts my heart!! 😭🥰 Also, go Carol!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Fun fact this was the most viewed TWD ep when it aired with 17 million people

Carol became my favorite character when she told Andrea to sleep with the Governor, then kill him. This episode solidified it, though. When we first saw Carol, she was cowering beside a fire with her abusive husband, here she uses fire as power and finally gets to show how much she’s grown.

13:20 The pile of toys is a mild but horrifying reflection of how many children the terminus has killed and eaten during this time. I didnt catch it the first time because there was sooo many going on at the same time, after realizing it during re-watch, the level of horror just sky-rocketed

This is easily one of the best episodes of the show. Rick and Carol are such badasses in the episode

99 writers out of 100 would make Carol and Daryl a romance. I love that they just became the best platonic friendship between a man and woman in any tv show.

I love this bad ass Carol episode and the look on Rick's face when he realizes it was Carol...piceless. Carol is definately MVP of this episode

Check Abraham staying back to make sure everyone got over the fence first He’s a true soldier.

I couldn't wait for you guys to get to season 5! This is by far one of the best season premiers of the whole series. The termites might've had the numbers but we had Carol and she was definitely wearing her much deserved BAD ASS badge right here! Rick was so right about them feeling stupid. The Z/A is a scary scary place where the most desperate people do the most horrible things! But Cannibals? WTF!!! 🤯🤯 But The reunion of our group when we saw them all walking together was the best!! Season 5 is a great season full of great episodes!!! Awesome reaction Rob n Trin ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Carol takes down Terminus like a boss! And Tyreese prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he is still a beast when it comes to taking out zombies! Edited to add: did you notice that the first guy to get his throat slit was the same guy that Carol and Rick ran into in the first half of the season; the episode that Rick sent Carol packing.

Been watching you since you started The Walking Dead. You are apart of my routine on Thursdays and Sundays. Thank you guys for being so genuine and real. Cant wait for more :)

Fun Fact for you about this episode when they shot the scene where part of the group was getting killed in order to become food the main cast was not told that the other actors would bleed that much so that producers could get genuine disgust and panic reactions from Glenn Rick and Daryl ;)

Fun fact the Actors didn't know that they were gonna get their heads bashed in and their throats sliced. So their reaction is genuine.

Love how confident Carl and Michonne are that Rick and the others are coming back from them. No worries whatsoever. Savage Rick is my favorite Rick, and of course this just elevated Carols character even more

One of the most powerful episodes yet. Seeing Rick so focused in his rage is amazing. And Carol as Rambo is icing on the cake. When I saw that long-haired crazy dude the first time, I never made the connection in later episodes. The mark on his forehead was the tell. Seeing Morgan at the end was awesome. He has had an interesting journey. Carol's love of fire get's more evident as time goes by.

I’ve also heard that apparently the main cast members weren’t told what was going to happen inside the terminus building so when the man got his throat slit, their reactions were genuine.

I remember reading something about how the reunion of Rick and Judith was really difficult to film because the baby was so afraid of Andrews bloody face, she kept crying of terror. Not sure whether they finally reverted to using a doll or not😅 This episode really brings out everything this show is about and was an amazing season start!

Loved the reaction! You guys are so quick. Love the fact that Rob recognized the first guy at the trough. The watch Carol grabbed was Rick's watch that he gave to that same guy so him and his gf with the tattooed leg could meet Rick and Carol back at that house at a certain time.

I remember watching this when it originally aired and when they showed Morgan I started screaming 😂 he’s such a good character 🔥

Still a top favorite for the fans. Highest rated episode up to now. FYI when the dumb butt had his hands around Judith it was really her father in real so easy for the baby. One of the many reasons I love this show. There are on hand top therapists every and all. When Rob says that this show desensitized him, fans get it. We have been saying forever that it's not about blood and gore but rather family. What would you do for your family. Great reaction again guys

Imagine watching this series back in the day, waiting for the episodes and seasons to come. That must've been agonizing. And I'm just getting a taste of what it would be like by waiting for your reactions.

Loved the reaction. Great episode. One thing that really disturbed me was all the stuffed animals in the storage place. That was a lot of children killed. Tha amount of stuff was outrageous but thinking of the kids they killed was maddening

Rick writing "Terminated" on the sign would've been the funniest thing ever

One of my favorite episodes of the series. Perfect intro to one of the best seasons as well!

I'm glad you guys finally got here! Who knew a zombie show could go from extreme violence and gore, and show us a father and son reunite with their daughter/sister and we would be brought to tears. We waited half a season for Rick and Carl to see Judith again, and the payoff was extremely satisfying 💜

Loving this episode! It is of my three favorite episodes of the whole show. Carol is such a badass.

I'm so excited to see this reaction! This episode is legendary.

I like how easily they where able to kill the termites.

Trin made me laugh today when she said “oh shut up, shut up even more” 😂🤣😂🤣 great reactions yet again Absolutely love when Daryl sees carol and Rick and Carl see Judith and Sasha see tyrese make me cry every time. I love season 5 and 6 the most 🙌🏻 Have a great evening both of you 😊

This is easily my favourite episode ever on The Walking Dead.

Daryl and Rick hugging Carol always melts my heart.

Daryl: Sounds like a damn war. Me: No. Just Carol. 😂 To me, this was the perfect episode. It gave me everything I wanted with the characters/story and more. I've been waiting with bated breath for you to get to this one, and you didn't disappoint. (You never do!) Also, you should see all the Carol/Rambo Carol memes that came out after this one aired. 🤣🤣🤣 Bravo for catching Tyreese's lie. Most reactors I've watched believed him when he said he killed Martin. But if you look closely, remember that walker Tyreese impaled on the tree stump? It was missing when the group got there. Either it was a continuity error on the show's part, or Tyreese put the walker body in the cabin so if anyone (like Carol) looked through the window, they would think it was Martin lying dead inside. You notice when Carol started to head inside, he stopped her. I don't know for sure which it was, but I prefer to think it wasn't just a continuity error. 🤣 What a heartbreaking Mika callback when Rick wondered if Terminus was still burning and Carol told him it was. (Because Mika had told her white smoke means the fire is out, although that's not strictly accurate. LOL) Kudos also for recognizing Sam at the trough. A lot of people also missed that cameo appearance. I'm sure others have mentioned this already, but the watch Carol found was Rick's watch that he had let Sam borrow. It was a harsh way to finally get it back, though. Poor Sam.

Terminus is such a Great Antagonist!

This culminates my very favorite half season (followed closely by the first half of season 6). It is the teasers for season 5 that actually pulled me into watching the whole show. Glad you enjoyed it.

Yay! I've been excited to see your reaction to Carol's transformation. She's become killer Karol. Remember her in season 1? I think she became S tier in this episode. Welp. Time to save the world with Eugene.

Ah yes, the episode where Carol goes all Die Hard on Terminus. A true bad*ss unleashed.

I’ve been waiting for this since I watched your episode 1 season 1 reaction. This episode and the next two are my all time favorite “trilogy” of episodes. They are perfect in my opinion. It’s also my birthday today, so this is a perfect present for me.

*Rick to Carol: Just when I thought you couldn’t be anymore dead to me, you go do something like this….AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF.

Awesome reaction!! Fun fact! in the scene where Martin (the guy carol and tyerese captured) threatens to kill judith those actually aren’t his hands around her neck it’s the hands of the actual father of the baby!! I think he said that was the only way he would let them to that scene and i can’t respect that decision enough! Cant wait for the next one!

Morgan had a staff. Carol and Pookie hugging awe made me cry.

I love the reunion of Rick Carl and Judith but I also love the reunion of Tyreese and Sasha part of the reason she didn’t want to go to Terminus is because she didn’t want to deal with the fact that he might not be there that he probably didn’t make it seeing him with Judith then seeing her take off running behind Rick her crying tears of joy as she gets a big bear hug from her big brother always gets me misty eyed I love their dynamic even just the little bits we’ve gotten of them so far.

Oooo yes. I’ve been waiting for this episode. Go Carol go!

"Is the Govenor here with a tank" 😂😂😂 Great reaction. Ron you amaze me with your thoughts in advance. You had an idea they were eating people. The best was Trin's emotion when they see Carol and they all meet up. When they see Judith and Sasha sees her brother 😭 priceless. If you watching this far into the show, you have developed an emotional tie to these people. It will eat your heart out at times in the future. The next chapter of their struggles is a good one and I can't wait for you to watch. Ron I just love how excited you got when you saw Morgan At the end. Eventually you guys will have to start watching Fear the walking dead because there is a cross over between the shows but you have a little time for that. Can't wait till Thurs, Ta Ta🙋

everything you said about Carol, being Rambo and a one-man army, is true. and you're gonna find out more of that in the next seasons.

The blonde haired actor who gets killed first in the line-up is Robin Lord Taylor who was at this point playing the role of the Penguin in the series Gotham but without hesitation reprised his role from season 4 of the Walking Dead because he loved the show and wanted a completion to his character.

Hyped to see this, season 5 is one of my favorite. Can't wait to see y'all experience this, getting all giddy for it 😂

I haven’t read all the comments, but if you guys didn’t know, the long-haired bearded man they let out of the one train car who yelled “We’re the same!”… It’s the same antagonist/rapist from the THEN scenes… he had been locked in the train car ever since Garreths family had taken the place back.

i remember the wait in between the season 4 finale and this episode it felt like 100 years

I'm loving watching your reaction to this incredible show, it still remains one of my favourites, but to coin a phrase, "you ain't seen nothing yet" springs to mind, some interesting character arc's in this show and I love the fact that it's not all about how scary the Walkers are, but more about the situations and humans fight for survival in a world that no longer belongs to them, the emotions, the friendships, the romances, and the comradery of the group is fantastic to watch, highly entertaining and emotionally moving, its the kind of show you wish would last forever because it's just so damn good.

I’ll never forget the night this episode aired. I was working at Chilis and had to close that night. We shut down an entire section and the whole staff was just watching this episode. I checked in my tables during commercials. I didn’t care that I made crap money, I had to see this episode.

And this is why 'Carol' is and has always been my favorite.

Been waiting for this episode! What an opening! Can’t wait to see the two of you sink your teeth into season 5, probably my favourite TWD reactors on here! The development of our faves this season is brilliant, I’d love to know what you think of Carol and Rick in particular, enjoy!!

I remember how excited I was watching this episode when it first came out. Everyone reuniting, it all happened so perfectly. I'm glad I got to relive this experience thru you.

The tall guy in that container by himself was the guy they showed that ran Terminus before, when Gareth and his group were captured and kept. So they put him in the container just like he did with them. So glad you guys got the after credit scene! A lot of people say that this is their favorite episode. It has the action, the plot twists, the reunions, the reveals, etc. it’s not my personal favorite but it is very very good.

One of the BEST episodes in the entire series ...

I don't know if you two already knew by now but "barbecue lady" was the mom in the first Pet Sematary movie.

I just happened to be wearing my "Welcome to Terminus Steakhouse, we'd love to have you for dinner" tee shirt watching this reaction.

Lol Rick's Murder Coat is iconic. Think back to how Rick looked and acted back in Season 1 and 2. Lots of changes with him.....and Shane was ahead of his time lol

Rob and Trin, your channel is amazing! Thanks for this great content. I just love watching your walking dead reactions so much, reliving it with you guys is so enjoyable seriously, my absolute favourite reactions to watch. I love how much detail you go into and really put effort into showing your reactions to specific moments that evoke such emotion! Reliving watching these episodes makes me so nostalgic!! The walking dead is such a crazy show. So good!!!

Best episode of the entire series imo. I know some prefer 6x9 but No Sanctuary will always be my absolute favorite. It starts off so dark and ends so happy.

I get overwhelmed with joy when I see you two have uploaded a walking dead reaction. I am totally enjoying these episodes all over again!

Fun fact, the guys didn't know how it's going to go down at the slaughter in the beginning, they made it so realistic with throat slashing and blood gushing down the drain, the terror in Glen's eyes is real. Carol is the hero badass we all needed! Edit: Oh, also, the hands around "Judith's" neck are her father's, not the actor's.

I've watched this show for years and I've watch this episode thousands of times. I never knew that same guy from the house that carol and rick was in, in season 4 was the same guy who got his throat sliced at terminus that blows my mind actually. 😳

The watch Carol picked up at Terminus was probably the one she gave Rick when he sent her away. I just loved her one-woman battle and especially the reunion with Daryl.

So excited for 5x4 and 5x8

"...they"re recyclists...the circle of life"....I'm fucking dying😂😂😂😂

Best Episodes of the Show 1) S6/9 No way out 2) S5/1 No Santuary 3) S4/8 Too Far Gone 4) S9/15 The Calm Before 5) S3/4 Killer Within This are the best rated ones and No Santuary is defently in my top 5 too ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Well we did see Rick take a bite out of the claimer boss ..hahaha🧟‍♂

Bit of trivia with the shot of Martin’s hands around Judith’s head and neck. When it has the close up of the baby, those hands are actually the baby’s father, for obvious safety reasons.

One of the most bone chilling episodes of the series. I think I stopped breathing for about 15 seconds when they murdered young Eminem.

Rob lookin all spiffy. Really dig that sweater buddy. The “trough” scene was probably the most memorable gruesome moment of this show, next to the bloated well walker. Another great reaction guys.👍

There's a reason I told you Carol was my favorite. And you thought she was bad news. Remember that? LOL LOL

Yayyy! I’m so glad you stuck around for the end credits like we were suggesting! Morgan is a GOAT!

4:12 I love that you said this right before Rick essentially says the same thing. Such a great scene man.

This is my top three favorite episodes of the entire series. Carol was brilliant and instantly became my top favorite characters of the show with this episode. I could not wait to see your reaction to this episode and you didn’t disappoint. I read that you are going to react to cobra Kai another favorite series of mine

Fantastic episode. Carol's crowning moment.

I absolutely love your guys' reaction to this show! It is an amazing show and you all are fantastic reactors. I can't wait for the next one too!

Welcome to season 5, and what a start!! Cannibals and Rambo Carol. This is a cool season. Some found a couple of episodes as low, but they also lead to something. Enjoyed your reaction alot!

This was according to most, the highest rated episode of the entire series! Also the most popular! So glad you made it to my favourite season/episode of the series! ^^

I 100% agree with you guys' view on the terminus people. Yes you see what led to that and you can see how that switch flipped in their heads and how something like that would deeplly disturb and change you but as you guys said.. this should really be a last resort and they had many other options.. I'd agree with cannibalism If that's literally the only way for you to not die in an extreme situation like for example that one crew that got stuck with their boat during their arctic expedition. There was no one able to save them because no one could reach them, they didn't have any supplies anymore, they were freezing to death and some people already died with their corpses not rotting because of the temperatures. The remaining crew members talked about it but came to the conclusion this was the only way for them to survive and have a chance to be saved so they started eating the dead bodies. I'm honestly fine with that because I can see why they had to do it and it didn't even hurt anyone since the people were dead anyways but with Terminus it's a whole nother deal.. as you guys said they simply could've taken down the signs for example .. The reunion with Carol, Tyreese and Judith was everything .. absolute pure beauty and happiness ❤.. still sad Beth wasn't there anyways absolute KILLER start to the new season and remember, keep calm and let's not eat people 😌

This is my favorite TWD episode of all time. I have watched it probably over 100 times. It has everything you could hope for in a season premiere; fear, suspense, satisfaction, happiness, and hope. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Notice how much the walker looks like andrea at 5:20, even got the handcuffs on too. Love the reacts btw

The watch Carol took was Rick's. He gave it to the guy and the lady with the tattoo on her leg when they went to collect fruit to take back to the prison. Carol gave Rick her watch to replace it when they parted ways and when that guy was taken in by the termites they would have taken it from him.

Told ya. Carol! And she's not done.

Welcome to Season 5, the season closest in relation to season 2. We focus more internally on our characters, but with a twist that lacks the love of Dale. Anyhow, this is the very best season of TWD racking in 8 digits worth of audience consistently. This episode is the second highest rating episode, the best premiere, and a wonderful way to describe what this season is all about! Bravo to this masterpiece of a masterpiece!

Wish I wasn’t working so I could watch this rn such a great episode can’t wait

anyone notice the pile of teddy bears when carol found the crossbow? just imagine how they got all those.... let it sink in....

Season 5 was so good, seeing Rick at his most ruthless and brutal mental state was badass!

Nope, don't need no governor or a tank, cus we got Carol lol! She's so badazz.

thank god this day is here! it took everything for me not to say hurry and watch S5E1 you will absolutely love it!!!!! last episode was rick’s emergence into ‘fuck around and find out’ badassery that elevated him to goat statue. this was carol’s.

This episode Carol turns into a legend. Mary of terminus is the actress that plays Tasha Yar in star trek the next generation. And Morgan jones

Carol garbed ricks watch, the one he gave to the dude with the girl when he dropped carol off.

Oh and yeah Carol for MVP for sure!

Peak TWD

SO excited for this episode!! Love you guys :)

Who's more deranged? Rick saying he's going to kill Gareth with that cold vacant stare or Gareth smiling back at him? Also say hi to feral rick, he'll be around for a bit
