I see people complaining that the end was spoiled on FB for the West Coast but I live on the West Coast (in Canada, if that matters) and I watched the episode live at 6. It has always been like that for this show and Breaking Bad. Why would my AMC be like that and not for others?

Some carriers have the East Coast feed and some don't.

She helped Noah escape. Why would she willingly let him go back to that group after she basically helped him escape (and they both planned to escape together?).

Holy shit, this episode was so good.
Walking Dead just went from a show I'd watch out of casual necessity, to one I'm actually hyped for, almost, but not quite on par to Game of Thrones levels.


Rick Grimes is the fucking man.
And great little ending teaser.

so her solution was surgical scissors to the shoulder.

her solution was causing something that she knew would lead to Dawn getting off'd. Once again, people are dissecting this way too much. She had good intentions. She literally thought that plan up in about a second. Yes it could have gone wrong but no guts no glory. The sacrifice worked out. And what else was she going to do? The scissors was the only weapon she had and she had to act fast. This is beth we are talking about not rick. She wouldn't be able to slit her throat with it or something lol.

Would've been better if Beth went for the juggular, got killed, and Dawn bled out on the floor while everyone stood there not helping her.

Other than that I thought it was pretty good.

About time she was killed off. She didn't need to exist. Hopefully, the next one is Darryl. I'm glad they are starting to kill off people who don't exist in the comics.
Next stop, Alexandra!!!

Just watched the opening... that was unexpected. lol

(Comic Spoilers)
Based Gimple replacing comic Martinez getting road killed by Rick with Bob 2.0. Damn, that was brutal. Givenofucks Rick is best Rick.

"Can't go back, Bob."

Same words Gareth told Bob in the premiere when they were all about to have their throats slit.

I thought this was a pretty good episode, especially in comparison to the last couple episodes, but then they offed Beth. I liked Beth, more than I like Maggie. They just like keeping cast numbers down so they don't have to pay an extra actor?

Just finished the episode. I'm glad we're not going to get any more Beth angles...now just people sad over her. Awesome seeing Morgan again and hope Carol gets her powers back....hell, and Tyrese too.

So just like the first time we saw Morgan this season, the marked out Terminus sign was more overgrown with vines, indicating he was not really close behind. Tonight I noticed that the magazines are way more faded when Morgan find them than when Gabriel see them earlier.

It's gonna be awhile before Morgan catches up,I reckon.

looked like she was trying to get everyone killed to me

hard to feel bad about her death when she was portrayed as being so goddamn dumb

Ugh, this show is so damn stupid sometimes and the writing really is shoddy. Seriously? That's how you get rid of a major and minor character? Over stupid Noah? Not to mention her act as noted would likely have gotten everyone killed were it not for cool heads on Dawn's side.


I hate to pimp other shows, but in stark comparison to this is Person of Interest, which just had a death of a relatively minor character (a villain to boot), but had done it so damn well you felt it was just such a good send off and even had sympathy for the character. Here you've got Beth who dies for no reason and takes Dawn with her.

I do not buy the sacrifice. Seems like Beth was on that tough drink then found herself in a "when keeping it real goes wrong" situation.

That's kinda what it is. She tried to hidden-blade Dawn, but forgot that humans (at least in Hollywood land) have a 2 minute or so "reaction death" time and thereby Dawn can twitch-shoot her. Though, it seems weird that Dawn wouldn't have holstered her gun or something after "okay, everyone weapons down for this trade!"

Robert Kirkman (and a group of writers), ya'll. I say that with love toward the Comics, TV show, and his other series. Sometimes the leaps/gaps are there.

The official Facebook page spoiled the episode for me before I even had a chance to watch it.

Shit popped up on my feed minutes after it aired on the east coast. :/

So now Maggie remembers she has a sister?


I watched S1-S4 in the Summer and all of S5 so far and I really don't see what all the hype was about aside from Season 1 and 2, maybe 3

Things really need to pick up


Oh and someone I know on Twitter spoiled the Beth death by posting that it was insane that AMC posted the spoiler on Facebook........she didn't think the RIP Beth part of the screengrab would show up in the image preview on Twitter =/

Heh, posting that spoiler on Facebook is worse than CTV posting the winners of Amazing Race Canada on Twitter right when the finale ended

Hard to top last season's midseason finale, but I enjoyed that. That was an incredibly brutal and quick way for Beth and Dawn to go out. This is probably the first time Daryl stepped up and straight ended somebody. There was Mitch (the tank guy from last season's midseason finale) but this one felt different. Daryl, Carol and Rick's tears actually got me choked up so bravo to them on that.

Couldn't tell if Noah decided to join the group at the end there. He walked out with them (behind Daryl) but not sure if he was just escorting them out or if he decided to stay.

I'm in love with Officer Lamson's actor (Maximiliano Hernández) on Talking Dead lol had no idea he was such a big fan of the show.

That was pathetic that Beth's scissor to the throat didn't even faze the cop. If she was going to go out they should have at least let her kill her.
