Actually, your position was that you didn't understand why people were so locked into the cannibalism thing, despite the fact that they were definitely trying to make the viewer think it at the very least. You eventually came around to conceding that it may be misdirection.

Not at all. I stated that the Terminus maybe cannibals and maybe not and over time I concluded that the Terminus folks suffered some stuff and because isolated people have no idea about zombies are (the soldier the Gov encountered did not seem to know that anyone who dies comes back unless its head trauma) and just like Hershel was feeding zombies chickens, the Termites feed the zombies other humans maybe because they think their loved ones need human meat to be docile? We tricked into thinking the Terminus folks are cannibals because of the BBQ scene but all around them were lots of veggies so that was a hidden hint cannibalism is not needed because they are not starving.
Again, that is my take on it - no insider info at all - and I maybe way wrong. We shall see. I actually don't want to be proven right because it means that I can see the plots coming from a mile away and I want to be surprised.
This feeding zombies thing is even found in Romero's Dawn Of the Dead and Day of the Dead movie. In Dawn of The Dead the scientist with an eye patch on the TV show was stating that the humans needed to feed the zombies in the hopes of calming them down.
In Day of The Dead Bub was being fed human meat in order to positive reinforce calm good behavior by the scientist. And we saw a Bub looking zombie in that tunnel complete with a iron neck collar - an escapee from the Terminus lock up of their zombie folk?

It would be nice if she was with Gabriel. Because the car deal...he drove to his church.

I took it as Beth got grabbed by another group entirely. The bit in the preview made it look like that group might be using the people they grab as slaves.
So who was the guy on the table?
I got such a Zombies meets Call of Duty vibe when Carol blew up the tank, was walking into Terminus and sniped those guys, Pure Awesome!

You know, I know it is a Walker Raid on Terminus and it is panic, but the Terminus folks waste bullets horribly! You think they know to shot in the head by this point.
The lead guy that takes count is going to be ticked.
Man ........ you just do not want to pass Carol off.
This episode was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Loved it from beginning to end.
"No Sanctuary" is an excellent start to season five and the gore throughout is superb. The second scene where the Terminus people were about to butcher Rick, Daryl, Glen and Bob was tense. Carol to the rescue is awesome and it was nice to see her disguise herself as a zombie. I don't think we've seen that since season one. Speaking of her character has grown a lot since then. The zombie on fire eating someone is one of the coolest visuals this show has done. Rick was a beast when he grabbed that guy's machine gun. Tyreese should have killed that guy first thing but seeing him tackle dude was great. Eugene is such a bullshitter. The reunion scenes at the end were genuinely touching. I'm honestly surprised they burned through the Terminus situation so quickly but I loved the pacing and I hope the rest of the season follows suit. It was fantastic to see Morgan return in the post credits scene.

So its pretty clear that Terminus people were eating people as we saw. The preparation as Conan O'Brien and others joked was pretty wild. "Hey they had an A on the board there because the health department may stop by."
As they said the show took it to another level of insane damn gore folks.
