I enjoyed the episode this week but The Wolves randomly attacking the way they did with no explanation whatsoever was very confusing.

Jordo!

It was, wasn't it.

I think the writers are just stalling for time at this point...

Even without comic spoilers, it's pretty easy to see where this season is headed... we already know the Wolves (or whatever they call themselves) are a small group -- vicious, but not an army and we have all seen the zombie herd making its way to Alexandria...

Therefore: You have a basic natural disaster story now. Build up walls to keep out the storm, fend off the scavengers (what I seem to recall the wolves were actually called in the comic, FWIW).

Then what?

Well... again, no spoilers (like it matters), but either they all die or they fend off the herd and the looters and look off heroically into the sunset.

Those are the only options. There's nowhere else for this to go. That's why the first episode was an hour and a half of shepherding the undead. There just isn't much depth or complexity to the story at this point. Its all about boarding up windows and counting ammo right now. Oh, and not making too much noise or whatever.

Actually, the most interesting part was the near rebellion by Spencer (?), which is a fairly short set of events in the comic, but very dramatic, and AMC totally glossed over it in a B&W flashback

Finally, although the Wolves might be a small group, they could be part of (or in competition with for survival) other, larger more organized groups. Hmmm...

And no spoiler there. We already know there's other groups (e.g., The stupid Terminus group story arc, which they mercifully concluded fairly quickly).

So, here's to hoping either everyone is killed defending Alexandria from zombies and looters (not likely, natch), or they wrap this "secure the home base" nonsense up quickly, and move along to the much more interesting, and complex stories that are just around the corner before season end.
