Terminus

Terminus is a location in Season 4 of AMC's The Walking Dead.

Pre-Prison Attack
While on a supply run, Daryl, Michonne, Bob, and Tyreese hear a person speaking on the radio. It is soon interrupted by Daryl dodging a walker in the middle of the road, which eventually leads to them fighting off a large herd of walkers.

Post-Prison
"Sanctuary for all. Community for all. Those who arrive survive."

- The phrase written on the sign that Tyreese, Carol, Lizzie, and Mika encounter while on the tracks.

Michonne, Rick, Carl, Maggie, Bob, Sasha, Glenn and The Marauders discovered a similar sign attached to a railway freight carriage and a map.

Terminus appears physically for the first time in the episode "Us", as Abraham, Bob, Eugene, Glenn, Tara, Rosita, Maggie and Sasha finally reach it, where they are greeted by Mary, one of the residents who offers them a bite to eat and welcomes them to Terminus.

Terminus is hinted to be the home of a cannibalistic cult. It is seen in the episode that Mary is always cooking an unknown meat product at all her appearances. As the group is running from gunfire, human remains could be spotted in a courtyard for a brief period. Finally, the desire to keep humans captive may mean that they are keeping them as a food supply for basic survival. It is also referenced in the beginning of the episode "A" when Rick teaches Carl how to catch a rabbit by directing it into a trap to get food, his lesson is similar to the whole chase sequences when the group is being directed by gunfire to possibly trap them and obtain a proper food source.

Trivia

 * "Terminus," which literally translates to "the end of the line," is the original name of Atlanta. In the 1800s it was decided to build a railroad connecting the state of Georgia to the Midwest. A site was chosen to be the railroad's terminus and that spot later grew to be Atlanta.
 * "Terminus" is the Roman God who protected boundary markings. "Terminus" is also Latin for "Border."
 * The frequency from which Terminus' radio message was broacasted in "Isolation," 97.1 FM, in reality belongs to the station WSRV, based in Gainsville, Georgia.
 * Allen mentions he lived in Gainsville in the comic series.
 * They use industrial sized containers to hold people captive, as Rick and his group were held inside one.
 * While Rick, Carl, Michonne and Daryl are running from the shooters, you can hear shouting and smashing against red containers from the inside, showing that there are people being held inside.
