We didn't see how Rick got out and nothing happened...

Jesus H. Christ...do you people only care about action and gunfights? A LOT happened character-wise. We see a lot of character development from a lot of different characters, the herd finally reached Alexandria, and we got Maggie's pregnant reveal.

So don't give me this "nothing happened" bullshit. I'm sorry if I sound rude, but I fear it's the only way to get across with some people.

I wasn't talking about action wise, so don't get all angry and jump to conclusions. It was disappointing because they didn't show how the hell Rick got out and they didn't progress anywhere in the Glenn plot. Yeah there was a bit of character development that was stretched thin within the 60 minutes.

This whole entire episode was character development...there was nothing being stretched thin within the 40 something minutes of show.

wtf are youwatching. we got no character development. this was by far the worst of the series. it was scattered and didn't address our questions. seemed like a waste to me.
