The bald head guy who tried to kill Daryl? Did Beth know personality of every cops there? How do we know that nobody will take Dawn's place? They still need to keep that place going.

well beth spent a lot of time in the hospital obviously so she probably knew who was a bad cop and who wasn't. It aint hard to tell considering the crazies in there.

That was one of the most boring mid season finales I have ever seen. Who gives a fuck about this police squad? I mean who were any of these people? Tossing names around like as if the audience knows who the fuck Odonnel or Hanson are. It's your mid season finale and you're tossing around names I have never heard of before as if I should know who these people are.

The season started off strongly (by walking dead standards). The folks at Terminus were pretty fucked up and Gareth was charismatic. Then they go to this, which is by far the most boring group Rick and co have ever encountered. Featuring some of he most wooden acting on the show. And the big event of this episode? Beth getting killed? Who freaking cares? There's no payoff. It's not like Heschel getting beheaded by the gov or Gareth eating Bob's leg. That police officer was a fucking nobody.

I am done with this show. Officially. I am not entertained at all. I get that they're trying to cover what life is like in a world overrun by zombies but you need to have a fucking story. I could tolerate that for one season... two... Maybe three, but five seasons now and it's just the same fucking thing over and over. Get some fucking plot in here besides group meets other group, followed by conflict, then a rescue mission, and then as group split follwed by some deaths and a reunion. Same shit over and over. And what was the point of Carol ending up in the hospital? Where was that Rambo payoff walking dead apologists were fantiszing about?

Dreadful show and I refuse to punish myself by watching this shit anymore. This show doesn't even deserve a tenth of th viewership it gets.

I think they all walk out of there if Dawn doesn't try to take Noah back. And if you'll remember Beth sacrificed herself for Noah once before. Just this time it was with finality.

Haven't watched yet since I live in Holland and watch it the next day, but Walking Dead on facebook just spoiled it for me. 32 million followers (must be ton not in USA) and they just spoil it like that. Jesus christ.

Yeah. That's one of the main reasons I stay off of Facebook/Twitter during the evenings of certain shows. :(

I learned my lesson after someone spoiled Herschel's death.

I'm guessing that second half is the group going to
Alexandria. Michonnes talking about how this could be what they need and it sounds like the moment in comics when she's the first to want to go to the town cause of how bad things have gotten.

Dawn seemed like a pretty weird character.

She seemed to recognize the horrible things other people were doing, but felt like she needed to let it happen for stability's sake. But then you could see moments where she did show she would be strong enough to stand up to these people, but she still takes the easy way out of keeping things the way they are.

Yup, and Beth saw in the end that she would never break that cycle regardless what she said.

This sounds like mid-season banter every year. Someone goes out with a bang, but they come back. :D

I agree, i had no idea who these people were in the hospital nor did i really understand their whole system. Did the girl cop really need her laundry washed that badly that she would risk death? Perhaps they should have milked the Terminus gang a bit longer to the mid finale.

They never posted actual spoilers before so I never had any fears, gonna unfollow now, can't believe how they just disregard such a huge chunk of their audience..

Yeah, if we'd seen more of Maggie thinking about her that scene would have been more powerful.

Gimple and company completely butchered their handling of Maggie's character in the first half of the season.

It's tough enough delivering some kind of emotional impact to a moment like that when you've got commercial breaks running every 4 minutes. But to then compound that with Maggie's general indifference to Beth's whereabouts until Michonne smiled at her tonight? I mean, cripes.

Fucking Tyreese has been moping about stupid Karen for over a year now in practically every scene he's in. They could have given Maggie a scene or two of missing her sis.

Even Andrea losing Amy in Season 1 was handled a million times better than this garbage.
