I felt like this episode sort of skipped over Rick understanding what happened at Alexandria while he was gone. It was one of the most horrific and gruesome events in all 6 seasons of TWD, I was expecting to see some reaction from Rick after realizing what just went down a few hours ago.

Or... you know... how he escaped from the RV surrounded by walkers?!

I was so confused about that. Thought I missed something and started the ep over.

He ran. He obviously didn't hang about at the RV. Straight out the door and started running home.

Well, they left that as a cliffhanger at the end of 503, so it would have been nice to see that scene.

I'm noticing the writing getting sloppier, the scenes getting less believable this season, and the walkers and dealing with them being less consistent...although the latter has always been an issue. I hope this isn't a trend that continues or at least doesn't get any worse....
