(56,848 posts)the showrunners and writers are not always good at making the show have a flow to the action and the events.
When the Wolves attacked Alexandria, some people died, but Carol, Aaron, Rosita and Tara basically fended off and killed almost all of them by themselves. Especially Carol.
rather than some huge elaborate and awkward setup where everybody loses their heads and leaves Alexandria, they could have done it like they did in the comics - the Saviors conducted a multi-pronged military style attack on Alexandria and overwhelmed the entire town quickly. Rick and company had been so used to being attack straight on that they weren't prepared for being attacked straight on, while also being hit from the flanks as well, and by a lot of trained warriors.
Having everybody trickle out of town and conduct all those elaborate mini-scenarios with the RV and with Daryl/Rosita/Michonne/Glenn was really forced.
