It was said from the beginning that this was a Love Story. Everything else is background. It was for the fans begging to see a wrap up to the Rick and Michonne story. It was never with Beale or CRM as the focal point. They killed the 2500 soldiers on board with Beale's plan. They didn't destroy the entire CRM. In every interview they have said LOVE STORY. I don't know why people are confused about that. Rick and Michonne have always been super physical with each other. After 8yrs I would get it in with my husband as much as I can.
