Walking Dead Season 8 - Unmarked spoilers for aired eps in thread

[Shiny]

Two things in last week's episode were problematic to me.

1. Why did did most of the strongest people decide to go off scavenging instead of staying at the prison?
2. Rick leaving Carol behind even though she made the choice out of safety for the group and not out of malice. In the long run all of those people are going to die anyway. Would you rather they suffer and then turn in to a monster? At the stage their illness is at it's going to take more than just a few pills, and rubbing alcohol to help them.

Number 1 is especially troubling because when they actually needed the man-power in this episode hardly no one was there. They of course show up after Rick and Carl decimate everything. Perfect timing. Also, some how Glen is able to survive not becoming a zombie for this episode, but I don't think he will last much longer unless whatever medicine they were able to find actuall works.

None of this will actually matter in the long run because it's evident that One Eye McGee will try to smurf with them again. He was probably watching them the entire time waiting for the moment when they seemed their weakest.

Also Hershel may be the only optimistic and completely moral person left on this show and that's exactly why I dislike him here. No one with any morality would actually last very long in these situations. They'd eat up on the inside or get eaten by a zombie. He's had too many close calls to be alive at this point for doing dumb yet kind things.
