Could have ended the war if as soon as Neegan asked about his pants, Gabriel opened fire on the him. Could also have saved himself instead of helping a traitor/coward.

They schemed and planned and built all over the area to prepare for this war, which seemed to take a modicum of intelligence, only to look like total idiots in their execution. It's like when a guy fights 50 walkers one episode and comes out clean and then dies to one the next episode that meanders right up to him.

I've been a supporter of the show the whole time but I'm finally getting fed up with their lack of respect for their audience. I was not impressed with this episode, at all. Rick spent 20 minutes trying to hit Neegan behind armored cover. He talked to him out in the open for 10 minutes. Kill his ass and THEN give his Lt.s a chance to surrender. I'm guessing they aren't all Neegan once they see the actual Neegan with a new ******* where his forehead used to be.

I do understand the conversation out in the open w/ Neagan and the LTs. In a way I thought they avoided gunfire to protect Dwight as their asset. To me, it seemed more as a show of force similar to what Neagen did to them on many occasions including the counting down. I just read in that they had no illusions of ending it right there.

On the other hand, I had a massive problem when Rick opened fire on the group when counting down. How does a guy with amazing accuracy miss every single person? When Neagen was down on the ground there were so many gaps in the cover yet Rick missed him completely round after round.
