"No Going Back" Achievements / Analysis
Besides of thinking about that Katy Perry song every time I hear the title for Episode 5, I wanted to make a thread regarding the achievements for episode 5. Obviously they are vague, but looking back on previous episodes the achievements actually made sense. . . if you know what I mean. Either way the achievements are the only hint we have right now of how Episode 5 will turn out. I found this tidbit here on The Walking Dead Wiki:
The achievements for "No Going Back" are all quotes from various speeches and poems.
"Blood and Iron" is the name of a speech given by Otto von Bismarck in 1862.
"Miles to Go" is from the Robert Frost poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening".
"Right of Frost" is from the Emily Dickinson poem "I cannot live with You".
"Center Cannot Hold" is from the W. B. Yeats poem "The Second Coming".
"All The Dark Night" is from the Walt Whitman poem "The Wound-Dresser"
"We Slowly Drove" and "Kindly Stop For Me" are from the Emily Dickinson poem "Because I could not stop for Death".
"All The Dead Lie Down" is from the Emily Dickinson poem "It was not death, for I stood up".
Pretty creepy titles. I haven't read the poems yet but they could definitely provide some insight.
Anyways what do you guys think?

Yep, it is very creepy. I also looked it up and tried to find a meaning. My favorite is from the Miles to Go. I read tidbits of most of the poems and posted an analysis a while back in the photo thread with it. I think Telltale always uses poem lines too.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
I do like me a good spot of symbolism.
Oh my bad than, I didn't see a thread for Episode 5 achievements yet but I guess I didn't look too hard.
it's fine lol, try to come up with your own meaning and interpret it! that's the fun.
