At least we were given a break from Negan for a little bit. What some members of the group should do is take a few trucks on a trip back to Morgan's old apartment & load up all the guns, ammo, and other weapons he has left there, with a scavenging story that they had to go far away to give Negan's people if asked. If I had to guess on who Rick was smiling at, that was Carol. That whole group that showed up seemed to be women & girls: perhaps the group that Tara came across, then Carol did on her walk in the woods; just a thought though.
It is too bad about the Message Boards or comments, but I think behind all this is to make sure that there are fewer places other than social media sites to place comments or views on anything, even sites like Yahoo & others will soon do this I believe so everyone can be watched & monitored more easily. Pretty soon I'd bet everything and every site & place that you can use to comment or offer opinion's on will all be under the jurisdiction of only 1 or 2 places & funneled through those so nothing can be in an anonymous type format.
