Terminus the end of the line and the very hope to all survivors. Before meeting up with the rest of his friends, Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs), Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), Michonne (Danai Gurira).  The marauders have caught up to Rick and Carl, Michonne.  A violent aggressive action which leads to Carl being overwhelmed by the marauders.  Rick kills the leader and that causes a reaction of death.  The aftermath is blood, and a smell of death that surrounds them brings Rick back to a place where he remembers Hershel Greene ( Scott Wilson) and other survivors back at the prison where things were good just before the Governers attack.  Flash forward to Terminus where he is captured and motivated to act against the people of Terminus.  A very good finale to season 4, emotions rise and fall here on AMC Walking Dead.

Divergent

Factions make up the world in this Film, virtues are the core to this movie, in the beginning of the Film the subjects must undergo a series of tests which will determine which faction you belong to.  Tris played by Shailene Woodley is a Divergent, not belonging to any of the factions she is drawn to Dauntless the ruthless and the most feared. This movie uses many plot devices that are done well, and that is the key to a great story.  (Without getting into spoilers), Theo James (Four) plays the Instructor of the Dauntless faction and also the Love interest to Tris.  This movie is a real treat, the characters are wonderful and you can  see the emotions that are expressed throughout the Film.  A world that is corrupt by its own system that the people have no choice but to accept what is handed to them.  And I must give credit to the life of this movie and Novel, Veronica Roth.  A wonderful writer, her ideas make this Film a want to see..
