Difficult to say how ‘Terminus’ will turn out. In the comics, I believe it was run by some very very bad people. The guy in charge would make the Governor look like Pajama Boy in comparison. However, Terminus being that way in the comics may not necessarily mean anything for the show.
Interesting how ‘Terminus’ was the name of the area that would become Atlanta. I think it means the place where all roads, or railroads go. I’m not entirely sure.
Terminus, on the map, looks like Macon — but Atlanta, Macon, Athens are well-established as a Dead No-Go Zones.
For now, I see terminus as the “barter town” in the road warrior movies....a really bad place to be.
