That first attack group was probably just a bunch of peons. Pure collateral only. Probably why they were all without guns. Why waste ammo on a scouting mission? The wolves probably had a bunch of scouts watching the whole attack to see what exactly is the situation in Alexandria and with Rick's group. Now they should have a better idea of how armed and capable they are, and can move onto whatever next step they have planned.

If those peons go in with guns, and get killed off by a better armed Alexandria group. Then that is a lot worse than just losing the peons. I think sending them in unarmed was the best option for scouting it out and causing some damage.

The Wolves were also capturing some people. It must be part of their recruiting. They probably put the captured people into some gladiatorial one man survives type challenge with other survivors, which brainwashes them into becoming sacrificial pawns.
All of this appears consistent with Wade and Cam's cohort being the "higher ups" with the guns.
Or it could just be a different group.

Abraham has to build a relationship with Sasha now, before they get rid of him. The writers just set it up like it's a long term thing, so I don't see him disappearing soon.
While not without the usual Walking Dead... charm.. This season has been pretty great. Six episode so far, all contained within a short time frame telling the overarching story but from as many angles as possible.
If Glenn is somehow alive though, oh boy. That's a high level of stupid. No idea how anyone writes a survival from that situation.

I was a bit confused by this. Things aren't working out with Rosita? All of a sudden he's a huge dog?

Honestly at this point though if he isn't alive that feels dumb too - and that the writers/producers were just manufacturing a cliff hanger for no reasons.
I don't know how they pay this off - but they need to in a way that isn't dumb on either side. It needs to justify not just showing him getting 100% killed that epside, while at the same time be somewhat beleivable.
Don't know how they do that. If they get it wrong though - they are going to hear about it.

I voted no on the poll yet now am waffling because of how long it's taking to resolve. That radio call doesn't sound like him. But at this stage we're probably going to get a reveal in the mid-season finale.

Exp:
I know the radio doesn't sound exactly like him, but if he is under the dumpster surrounded by walkers, he would be trying to project to be heard, while still trying to whisper.
So many possibilities with that final scene. Not too clear whether that radio was the one that Abraham & Sasha had or if it's Daryl's. Also, with the way the season is going I think that voice we heard wasn't Glenn's but someone perhaps helping him, another new character to be introduced.
