I didn't get that either. The writers are too dependent on little knick-knacks to make an impact, IMO.

I'm thinking it was left by Dwight.

It was Dwight, telling them he didn't know about the double cross with the garbage people.

That was the only thing I could think of too, that it was Dwight. It definitely wasn't very clear though

A slightly longer message, like "Didn't know they were planning this. Sorry." would have made it clearer.

Well, you try writing all that on a little toy soldier while rushing out of the compound to go to war with the enemy of your enemy.

I know there were a lot of things in this episode that were difficult to swallow, like the tiger who knew which person to eat, but let's not add to the already long list of bullshit. :)

He had a soldier figurine with him. And a piece of chalk. And he managed to scrawl a message and leave the toy soldier on the wall without anyone on his side noticing. Surely he could write a little smaller while he's at it!

Smaller? With a piece of chalk? Really?

Write on the sharp edges instead of the dull middle.

A brief scene of Dwight taking cover and using the opportunity to write his message and place it would've been helpful. Maybe have an Alexandrian ask Ezekiel how the tiger knew which people to attack, and have him answer something like "The Saviors all smell of the place from whence they come, Shiva learns the smell of her enemy and won't forget". I don't know enough about tigers to tell you if that holds any water whatsoever, but it sounds good.

Easier said than done.

Seems like you're asking for a lot of spoonfeeding. Part of the experience for me is to actually pay attention to what's been going on throughout the series (not that I understand why I went through 43 minutes of each episode this season, quite honestly). Then from there, clues that pop up later will get my grey matter ticking and remembering about where the toy soldier came from and then realise who left that brief message behind and draw a conclusion as to what the "didn't know" meant.

Not to say that I'd definitely be right about it every time but at least it's got me thinking and discussing it with others.

Having things spelled out for me in entertainment is boring in itself. I like being surprised at how wrong I was at times or otherwise getting the confirmation of what I suspected or theorised.

The tiger's selective attack was crap. Doesn't matter how much you try to have the explanation spoonfed, it just doesn't hold any water at all. Siegfried and Roy should be a reasonable reminder about how tigers are not selective about the next thing they chomp down on.

Sorry Chris but with all due respect, I just can't agree on anything you've asked for out of this, at least, not for my own entertainment purposes.

Yeah, you've probably got a point. Pandering to every armchair scriptwriter who bashes your lack of explanation isn't necessarily the way to go. And I suspect any expert on large cats would say you'd have to be insane to let a tiger loose in the middle of a firefight. They probably wouldn't attack anyone familiar to them. Probably. But anyone else would be fair game, it would have no way of differentiating between the sides. Normally predators don't kill like monsters in horror movies. One victim after another after another. The only exception is when they feel threatened, and all the gunfire would certainly accomplish that. Which is why I'd probably include that particular BS explanation. Like I said, it sounds good.
