At least Rick, Carol, and Darryl seem to realize that and aren't showing their cards yet. Carol lied about her husband and past. Darryl isn't opening up and Rick is trying his best to be on this lady's good side, yet keeping an ace up his sleeve. God damn Carl still cant stay in the house like he is told.
Now we just have to wait until the end of the season until we really find out what is going on.
Having not read the comics (although I've picked up a little), I'm not sure what to make of this. The woman leader does seem to be the typical politician with something to hide...but all I've really seen so far is a natural and expected unwillingness to trust from Rick's group. Seems to be - and should be - the same from the other group.
One thing that was interesting was the amateur ROTC dude on the supply dry run. Knowing what it's really like, and what is actually out there, you could tell the supplies they had doesn't add-up for Glenn relative to the obvious inexperience of ROTC out in the wild.
The other obvious question is where did they get the supplies (and labor) to put those walls up around a pretty substantial footprint? Woodbury seemed to have a lot more people, and their walls were much more makeshift.
Plus, the two gay guys who "watched" them for 3 weeks didn't really seem able to handle themselves, so how the heck do they make it alone out there for 3 weeks?
