Because.. as far as Negan is concerned, Rick and Alexandria have no idea what "Hilltop" is.. If you reveal that you are already working with Hilltop you become more a threat then you already are.. best to keep quiet about who you know and who you are working with so as to keep Negan and the Saviors thinking you are a lone wolf and hope he doesn't visit Hilltop and see Maggie.
They didn't think ahead.. Father Gabriel did..
Easily covered by saying she died right after they left the
and they didn't want to upset all of Alexandria with the news.. The few that know the truth would have continued the lie. 
I must have missed that part. Thanks!They didn't think ahead.. Father Gabriel did..
Not really sure what Rick would have done if he didn't get "saved" by Gabriel.. See what I did there?
Of course Negan knows the Alexandrian's know about Hilltop. His plan to capture Rick and crew was to constantly intercept them as they tried alternate routes to Hilltop.Because.. as far as Negan is concerned, Rick and Alexandria have no idea what "Hilltop" is..

It would have been cool to see Rick kill Neagan with the axe, pull up in the RV, wait a few minutes and then waste Neagan's group with a machine gun.
Hmmm. Interesting thought.. I guess it could be they knew they were heading to the Hilltop.. I just assumed the Saviors just blocked all roads heading away from Alexandria, no matter where the roads lead.. Thus the reason those in the RV kept looking for alternative routes.Of course Negan knows the Alexandrian's know about Hilltop.

And when they were all gathered to meet the group as they carried Maggie on a litter from the road directly towards Hilltop?Hmmm. Interesting thought..

Again, could have been blocking all roads, or all roads to Hilltop.. The fact they surrounded them in the woods could have been because they knew they were heading to Hilltop, or they had spies watching them using the Radios as we saw them use before.
I'm sure it will be Carol and Morgan together... They will either bring the King to Rick, or have Rick come to the Kingdom..
But what if that humiliation only lasts for a couple weeks? What if you can bide your time and come up with an actual plan in the near future? I think just saying screw it and hoping you get lucky in what is at best a 50-50 shot would be foolish. Especially since its obvious Negan has no intention of killing Rick.
yep, and In this case it has only been a few days.. Can't expect people to witness what they did and recover and make up a plan in a couple of days.. Pretty much the reasoning for Negan to show up when he did.. Don't give them a chance to recover.. Keep on with the
to keep control.
Remember that before they found Alexandria that they were road weary and almost starved to death. The constant living off of nothing and being almost dead had gotten to them and they had almost given up.
That was my first thought as well. All I can come up with is this world really does away with the 'grass is greener on the other side of the fence' mentality. Whether it is Governor, Terminus, those guys they met in the bar with Herschel or the saviors, there is danger under every rock. It stands to reason the each man for himself apocalypse kills the weak and becomes a breeding ground for the most ruthless. Still, I don't know any other dangers would be worse than co-existing in the same zip code as Negan.
I think that is the theme of the season. Rick is broken down and all of his sheep will rise up and fight. Rosita, Eugene, Maggie, Gabriel. The tension is going to be the tension of "getting caught" by Rick or Negan as Rick has a fight with Spencer.
even better, if we're hypothesizing about what could have been.
Speaking of which, that was a pretty funny scene with Negan when Gabriel popped up.
If this is the case then its going to be beyond awesome to watch this play out. ( I seriously doubt it though because they wouldnt give up the bazooka)tommyboy said:

haven't seen anything, because I don't look... but I noticed that morse code art thing and figured it had to be something. subtle they ain't.
You haven't noticed how long it takes Jeffrey Dean Morgan to speak each of his lines?
When I can, yes, especially when it is on the weekend. I am too busy during the week to do so.
This show in particular has to be watched live or almost live if you plan on going on social media anytime and like to avoid spoilers.
A lot of people are really buying into this. I noticed the Morse Code sign at the beginning of the episode but didn't think much of it or give it a second thought. Then I saw people talking about Daryl's mad blinking and they really ran with it and here we are with this new theory. Seems pretty far-fetched. I mean did they really hatch a "If one of gets kidnapped in the future we're gonna use Morse Code to communicate with one another" plan at some point in the past? That seems like a pretty convoluted plot point to try and sell us so if that's what Gimple has in mind he had come up with a damn good way of selling it because on the surface it doesn't pass the common sense test in my opinion.
tbh, I didn't notice darryl's blinking at all, but I agree that's a bit far-fetched. might be something- ala, Homeland S1- or might come into play later.
I didn't notice it either until it was pointed out during this whole Morse Code "theory."
crazy talk, what from last weeks episode would have been spoiled by watching it on Tuesday like I did?
Is that what that was? There was one spot where there was no more than two minutes of show before another set of commercials.
