+1 - That was a nice touch.  The group should have been more panicked about the walkers outside the walls.  You get enough bodies pushing and they're bound to find a weak spot.  Or the church will just fall over.  I thought it was weird that Rick just started reinforcing a random spot versus looking around for something like the church. Good that he is preparing beyond just the walls, but should have back-up defenses all over the place (spears, chain link, obstacles, ditches, maybe a few lookouts, an escape plan, etc.  I think there are too many walkers for them to take on their own...this is a great spot for some other group to show and take care of business.

Glad Glenn is alive, not overly impressed with how they did it.  He only had to kill two walkers and hang out under the dumpster overnight?  Seemed easier than it should have.  I was surprised there weren't at least a few straggler zombies around.  I'm glad someone called out that Enid lured them with the cans - I don't recall seeing that in the show. 

Where did the balloons and propane come from?  Did I miss that?  Super convenient for the story, but not something I would have expected to find along the side of the road, complete with three already inflated balloons...?

I hate that Ron kid, but can't believe Rick is willing to teach him how to shoot.  If I shot someone's dad, no matter how good a reason, I can't envision a scenario where I'm putting a gun in his hands.  Like ever.  Speaking of which, might be a better system for guarding the ammo than leaving the door open with someone half-assing it in the next room.

Morgan, Morgan, Morgan.  All life is precious, except that life that seeks to end other lives.  He clearly sees himself in some of these idiots, but break it down to simple math.  If a guy is saying he is going to kill others if you let him live, then you're not protecting life by keeping him alive.  when Rick shared what happened at the RV that should have been a big fat wake-up call. 

Did we ever get an answer on what the bleeding wall thing is?  I didn't watch the last few Talking Deads.

I thought they were re-enforcing the spot in the wall where the truck hit when the wolves attacked...

I believe they had marked the route they were going to herd the zombies away from Alexandria with those.  The balloons were along the road that Sasha/Abe were driving on...

Jesse James:
Yeah I thought Rick was reinforcing that bit of wall too.  The blood thing is,IMO, just a bullet hole and zombies pressed against it outside.  So many would likely crush those who are against it.

And yeah that particular pod of balloons was the "rally point" after everything was done and safe.  So it's still there including the helium tank they had.  That was mentioned by Glenn to Enid when they came up with the idea of using the balloons to lure away the walkers.

I actually found the dumpster fairly believable only because it was my first thought that once under all you had to do was "plug the holes" at the bottom by killing walkers.  The smell and their blockage would keep you masked and safe.  And they'd kind of stick there too.  Weird that his feet were ok though. :x

I think someone on TD said only a daybhas passed this season in the show?  I agree tho that going forward I'd want to see if a backhoe is nearby and dig strategic pits outside, reinforce inside, put out traps ala Morgan, I'd find buses too and tires.  Instant wall material.  Use whats worked before.  But realize metal rusts and wood rots.  Plan ahead.

Oh and reinforce interior buildings.  In siege warfare every main structure is a fallback.  Even wall towers are designed to be individual castles it a wall is breached.  So no reason for these homes to look like they're out of the Donna Reed show anymore.

Predictions for mid-season "finale"

- Daryl, Sasha and Abraham will not arrive in time and will not be in the episode at all, thus leaving us hanging.

- Jessie is shot and killed by her son Ron, the Carl feud was  red herring.

- Carol will attempt to save Jessie's youngest son, only to fail as he gets bit and she has to put him down.

- Father Gabriel will hide in some building and lock the door behind him...just like he did before.

- Glenn and Enid will arrive in a hastily and improbably constructed hot air balloon, with only enough room to save our core heroes, everyone else dies or is presumed so (leaving it open for Morgan to return again), next year they are back on the road!

- Enid doesn't go with the group because the balloon is too heavy and to save everyone, she jumps out shouting "YOLO!" or "JSS" or something. Then she disappears from view.

- The big shocker is that as they leave they look down  from the balloon and several walkers have formed letters...the words read "You can't escape Rick", without a comma, leading some to wonder if Rick isn't to blame for something. Also, are the walkers controlled by a hive mind?  Or is this all Rick's dream?
