I mean, the entire premise was, okay, Beth is kidnapped, let's go rescue her. And mostly everyone had already given her up as dead. Already mourned, already put it aside. To kill her off now, is...it's dumb, imo. It would have made more sense, and been more of a tear jerker, if it was someone, anyone else. (Though they would never kill off Daryl. Fans would send even more death threats.) Does that make sense to anyone else? It just seems...well, dumb. Might as well have had her kidnapped and that be the end of her, or just have her killed off outright. Now you have the group mourning twice, and I think it's goddamn silly.

Beth, why? Why on earth would you do something that stupid after everything was compromised? Seriously, she was a burden to everyone from the moment she walked on the screen in Season 2. I won't miss her, she was my least favorite, BUT now the whole group is going to be demoralized in a major way. Grr. Now Maggie is going to lose her will to live and we can't have that! This totally messed everything up. She did stupid one last time. Just had to go for that extra attention. She was weak so she wouldn't have survived without Rick and the gang anyway. But damn, that was brutal.

She knew Dawn would continue allowing the officers to rape and abuse their "patients" so she chose to give up her own life in exchange for Dawn's, to make sure she wouldn't hurt anyone again.

I kinda thought she may be wanting to kill Dawn when she stuffed that tiny scissor in her cast. Still though, its ruined everyone's damn day.

Beth's death in the mid-season finale really [&@%!] me off, in my opinion it was the worst death in the show. I just feel like it came out of nowhere. It just felt like the writers needed to kill someone off and they couldn't think of a better way to go about it. I mean really, stabbing Dawn with a pair of scissors and not expecting to get shot in the face? That episode really left a sour taste in my mouth.

I agree, the whole scene felt like it was put together because they had nothing better to do.

It made me really happy seeing a lot of the dead characters showing up again (even if it's only a hallucination). I was really overjoyed seeing the Governor appear again! I also think Tyreese's death was done a lot better than Beth's was.

NOOO!!! Not Tyrese!!

Rick and Carol are really [&@%!] me off the last few episodes (especially Carol and especially in the new episode). I used to like both of them, but they are quickly turning into people I hate. Carol threatening that kid was extremely low and Carol and Rick talking about taking over Alexandria just made me hate them so much. After all this time out in the wilderness they finally have a seemingly safe place and they are going to ruin it for no reason. I'm at the point where I hope their plan goes horribly wrong just so some people they love die and they see what a stupid idea it actually was. I know Rick is thinking about his group and how to protect them, but if their plan goes wrong and a fight breaks out either a: Some of his group will get killed in a gunfight or b: his group gets booted from Alexandria and they end up back where they started, I wouldn't call that "protecting his group".

I don't see anything wrong with pretending you're weaker than you really are i.e Carol or paying attention to where all the guns are located for if things go bad, but when you act on it before that happens you've turned into a traitor. At this point I feel like Rick and Carol are more of a danger to their group than the people of Alexandria are. On a side note I hated Daryl at the beginning of the episode, but he turned around for me by the end of the episode.

Rest in Pieces, Buttons. I also found it weird that Carol threatened that kid but I guess it was necessary.

The Buttons scene was terrible. I covered my head with a blanket and tried to not cry. That was sad, crappy, UGH WHY?

Carol threatening that kid seemed like second nature to her since having to kill Lizzy. But honestly, it needed to be done otherwise that kid would ruin their plans. I agree that Rick and Carol (mostly Rick to me) are turning into people I hate.

Seriously, after your wife cheated on you and caused all of that trouble, you're going to just go ahead and try to steal the doctor's wife away? How in the heck is that possibly good for anyone? What if your kids get sick? Then again, we have to remember that morals are basically out for Rick at this point. He's a changed man and anything goes. That look he gave the doctor before the episode ended was like dayuum. My bet is that he's going to either kill the doctor himself or make it look like an accident so he can hook up with his wife.

As for Daryl, he did a turn around that was rather heartwarming. And Idk what the heck is up with Sasha. The next couple of episodes should be interesting.

Aiden and Noah

have my [&@%!] face ripped off or entrails yanked out.

However holy crap that looked painful as [&@%!]. If i were to be killed by a zombie, i would prefer it didn't involve my mouth being torn apart. I also feel like more main characters have died this season compared to the other seasons.

First of all, Gabriel...what are you doing? Who wants to bet he's going down?

Noah's death was crap. That was the most brutal way to go and poor Glenn watching it! So there IS a dark side to the Alexandria group, its the fact that they leave each other for dead. Rick's group has had to do some shady things to survive but they don't leave each other for dead!

I'm hating Carol more with every passing episode. Convincing Rick to kill Jesse's husband is far too much.

Personally I think it will be Daryl. I feel like Negan from the comics is going to make his appearance in the season finale and kill Daryl with his bat. In the comics Glenn was probably the most popular character and he killed him with Lucille (his bat) and in the show Daryl is arguably the most popular character, so I feel like his time is coming. I mean it isn't like they haven't swapped characters for a death on the show, Hershel took Tyreese's place when it came to being beheaded and I really feel like Daryl will take Glenn's place.

I've been expecting all along for Negan to show up and kill Glenn. Glenn's death is most epic in the comics, and he deserves to go out with the same level of intensity in the show because he's awesome. Remember, Rick wouldn't be alive really if it weren't for Glenn who helped him escape from that tank in Atlanta.

While that is true, I don't think that they will kill Glenn off quite yet. Maggie has lost her sister and her father in only about 2 seasons and I feel like they won't kill off her boyfriend/husband (whatever you want to call them) so soon after both of them. Whereas Daryl has such a fan following (with the whole "if Daryl dies, we riot" thing) and I believe they will kill him off because it will be unexpected since a lot of people don't think the show will take that big of a risk. Not to mention he is pretty much Rick's right hand man and his death would be a huge blow to the group.

Michael Cudlitz said in an interview that the season finale will make people angry. I believe that also suggests that Daryl is going to die.

I figure it's either going to be Daryl or Carol. I don't know which I would prefer. Carol is dope but I love Daryl too.
