Trivia
The produce grown in the gardens at the Kingdom set doesn't go to waste. Anything that isn't used is donated to local food drives and churches.

Goofs
When Rick and Michonne begin to decapitate the herd of Walkers with the cable attached to two cars, blood and guts accumulate on Michonne's windshield in the close shot, but later in the long shot there are no guts, only dust on her car.

Quotes
Negan: [Over Radio] For anyone out there who loved the obese bastard as much as I did, I just want to say a few words. Fat Joey was not the most badass sonuvabitch, but he was loyal. He had a great sense of humor. In fact, we were just joking about oral sex with Lucille the other day! Things will not be the same now that he's dead. Without Fat Joey, Skinny Joey is just
[sighs]
Negan: Joey. So it's a goddamn tragedy. So, let's have a moment of silence.

Very Metaphorical Message

What do Rick, King Ezekiel, and Negan all have in common? They all live inside their own reality and interpret the world through filters of their own choosing, unhindered by the world around them. In other words, they are all crazy in their own way. To be an effective leader in an apocalyptic world, you must have a mental resilience of the kind that only a psychopath or insane individual possesses. This episode does a great job of poetically comparing Rick's mental perceptions with Ezekiel's, and by extension, Negan's - our favorite trio of crazy but effective leaders; they are not effective in spite of their insanity, they are effective because of their insanity. For them reality is perception, you are what you believe you are - mind over matter. There is depth, there is meaning, there is metaphor, there is soul brought out in this episode which I greatly enjoyed witnessing on screen. It was pure poetry of the human psyche.
