    Well, it's not like there was any immediate threat from Terminus. And they went in armed and ready to attack...

    They weren't thinking. Eternal optimists despite the many times they've been attacked and almost killed.

    they could count the bricks. That would be good for mental discipline.

    It would have made more sense if at least Sasha hesitated or protested based on their past experiences, and given what they just went through. I hope on Sunday, Michonne doesn't just waltz in there. That will really be out of character.

    If michonne just watz in there, i'd be really dissapointed with the writters, is totally out of character as u said, and damn, we saw how easily she figured out something was wrong with woodbury, and woodbuy at first sight, seemed more "friendly" than terminus, a so called sanctuary yet barely anyone have been seen yet (just creepy mary, and in the previews, Gareth and a couple persons more...)

    I think maybe they were subjected to mind control nerve gas in that railway tunnel , hence the hippy trippy music at the end when they walked in .

    This. They have no reason to expect a trap and they are all armed. They were ready to fight and ran into nothing threatening. At some point people really need to stop backseat driving this show. Viewer perspective is NOT character perspective. It's nowhere near an "obvious" trap to the characters nor should it be.

    This hollywood stupidity thing is overboard too. Perfect characters are a sign of poor horror. Characters making mistakes is realistic and is not and never will be a flaw. People do not act rationally in a zombie apocalypse and they don't know what we know!/rant.

    Well if they run in there armed and stalk the place they run the risk of looking dangerous themselves and not being accepted by the people there. Imagine if people back at the prison asked newcomers to come in unarmed but they refused to remove their weapons. Would Rick's group trust them?

    It's fenced in. Although the gate was wide open, having a barriers from walkers is an alluring security blanket. But keep in mind that just about everyone is armed and pretty much battle tested by now.

    Given the effort that placing each of the Terminus signs required (each one used prepared materials and would have taken at least 15 minutes to put up, even with practice), I would expect an operation with many armed effectives to protect their sign crews.

    That Terminus is still around means that they must have scouts along all of the routes. They could then either prepare for assault (by scary groups like the one Darryl is with) or to soothe and welcome friendlies. I would think that having people working in the gardens would be more assuring than a perfectly person-free entrance, but presumably the Terminus folks would have tried multiple possibilities before finding something that works most of the time.

    If there weren't snipers concealed on some of those roofs, ready to take out the group if they started acting in anti-social ways, my suspension of disbelief will come crashing down like a roof full of crashed helicopters and walkers.
