I actually noticed this yesterday, when crazy Sasha was shooting the dead, was thinking it would suck if she shot the beams supporting the wall, then thought why are they only on the outside. I also dont see the walls as being all that strong, any lunatic with a vehicle could smash through it, but whatever Im not an engineer. The need a moat, cause that would be cool.

They're not smashing through the steel beams on the other side of the sheeting. At least not with a vehicle. But who knows how deep into the ground some of them are.

I can feel Rick's point, but THIS
Ain't nobody going to listen to you when you look like a raving lunatic. Homie needed to keep calm and collected. Too much Jesse on the brain.

Probably not all that deep as it seems they were put up in a hurry and are unable to remain stable without a larger number of supports lining the structure. The bigger issue is anyone taking out the support beams could easily open a massive hole in the wall and waltz in. Add to this that no one has been even manning the bell tower (clock tower?) until it was suggested means up to that point almost any person or group could come up to the wall without being seen or heard.
At this point, the stupidity of those running Alexandria deserve to have their power stripped from them.
It isn't true. More than likely a small red herring for the more observant viewers. I don't expect to see Morgan till next season anyway. The trip from Atlanta to Alexandria is a long one on foot and Morgan doesn't seem to be one to drive around.

How the hell many people live in the community? I can never tell because AMC doesn't want to spend the HUNDREDS of dollars it would take to pay for extras.
In the comics, there were hundreds. Here, I guess its maybe two dozen?

I think the walls were mostly set up with the thought of keeping the dead out instead of keeping other people out. Zombies obviously won't be tearing down support beams, so having them on both sides certainly increases the stability. They look pretty solid, so I expect they'd be okay with just the inside supports, but no way to know right now.

Rick did mention the support beams at one point, so that's probably foreshadowing for later.
Yeah, I don't want the show to be boring, but when you list it out like that...damn, that's a lot of bullshit in just over a year.

Yup. It's really hard to even consider it a community when they show so few people.
It's actually been much closer to 2 years. They did a few time shifts between seasons, the biggest being between season 2 and 3 to avoid filming during winter months. I hope we actually get winter this time around instead of another time skip.

sorry but the reason everyone rolls with Rick is because he is willing to do absolutely anything it takes to protect the people he cares about when push comes to shove. And in Jessie's case push is literally coming to shove. He cares about her. He isn't going to let this guy get away with it.
Had a quick look at the timeline on TWD's wikia - looks like it's been around a year and 4 months since Rick woke up and started the true apocalypse.
When you put it in context, it's a wonder more of them aren't a complete wreck like Sasha. I think most people would be in a permanent state of shock if so many things happened in such a condensed period of time.

Last finale, no one died. Maybe we'll get lucky again...
He barely knows her, and at this point he's putting her before his family (including his children).
That's stupid as hell. Rick has done a lot of crazy or stupid stuff to protect his family, Jessie is not family. It's a shoehorned romance meant to drive the plot and Rick is acting out of character just to provide conflict.

We need more 'real talk' Rick, I enjoyed the hell out of that scene. I also don't feel like the romantic part is dumb or forced like some others have said. They have chemistry and sometimes things happen quickly even if we don't mean them to.

I miss Shane, he was my favorite character. So seeing Rick basically go full Shane is lots of fun. Also Sasha's bullshit is incredibly annoying, I hope she does soon.
This is based on a comic that was already written, so I'd blame them before the TV writers.
That being said I do prefer your idea of them killing Gabriel just because he's such a weasel, but him suddenly dying just after telling Diana they shouldn't be trusted will make Diana even more suspicious.

Michonne knocking Rick out will look better than one of the Alexandria group doing it.

Carl be like dad stop embarrassing me I want this girl to like me.
Bingo. I think within the context of the entire arc it isn't so bad, but it feels a bit more shoehorned in. I will it is somewhat reasonable to expect Rick to get a bit hot blooded when a beautiful woman started paying attention to him after being without Lori (who is absolutely horrid) for a good long while. He has the thirst and he let it get the better of him.
As for Gabriel, I think he'd kill himself if he were left to his own devices. I mean he ran headlong into a group of walkers last episode and then was forced to retreat back into the turnstile. He'll probably get a gruesome death in the next episode.
I'm sure she's also protecting her and the rest of the group's place in the community. She's been really pushing to play nice with Alexandria to the point she was (probably) cut out from Rick's secret team.

Nope I'll be over a friends house and even so it's Wrestlmania so yeah. To be honest as great as the episode has been I like Arrow, The Flash, Agents of Shield and Empire better than this show.

Agreed with your first statement but...
Disgusting? Characters die, it's part of the show. There is no need to make a distinction there based on skin color. C'mon son.

The season finale I think will reveal why Deanne wanted Rick's group in Alexandria in the first place. All internal conflicts aside they're going to have to pull together.

Dies of a papercut while organizing Deanna's files and the doc is to drunk to save her in time.
lol, look at him. That scene was like Rick = Joker, Michonne = Batman.I can feel Rick's point, but THIS

Oh my fucking-
Dayum that episode! Can't wait to see the season finale.
Oh and people are speculating that Morgan got killed by the Wolves and they will reveal it in the season finale. Rick and Co. about to f up the Wolves!
RIP Morgan
That wedding ring. The similar clothing. And I never noticed the sunglasses before.
...........Fuck
If this doesn't turn out to be true, then it's the biggest tease I've ever seen on this show.
If it does... I expect the opening scene of the finale will show us the gory details.
Although... It looks like Morgan took off his wedding ring at one point:
^ From Episode 508 (Coda)

That doesn't make sense. The official AMC recap said that Morgan's scene in the premiere take places months after Rick passes throughOh my fucking-

Edit: well since leaving Terminus and the time jump for traveling to Viriginia, it has been a few weeks now. Maybe a month?
Fuck, that might be true
This worlds civilizations were founded on war, death, conquering territories . What makes you think the rebirth of any civilization will be peaceful and easy. It's sadly human nature.

I will quit the show if they have been teasing Morgan all season long to just kill him off screen.
Yeah, the timeline is really hard to piece together. The producers should've probably said weeks instead of months. The recap for 508 where Morgan discovers the church introduces the scene with him as "some time later".
I think they would have them meet up at least one last time before killing him off.
I do expect some type of double episode backstory with Morgan on everything that happened during this backhalf of the season. Kinda like what the gov got at the front half of season 4 with the side story

Wha? He's been teased walking around where Rick has been in the past, he grabbed a note that showed where Rick was going, meaning that he was going to run into the town soon enough.
Like, the first episode they teased him at the end. You don't remember that?
I don't remember any of this.

Great episode. Intense all around.
Yeah the writing is incredible sloppy. The whole maggie thing and the time skip from them coming back from the mission was fucking stupidly handled.
Same thing I thought
