You'should think someone like Gabriel would die because they zoned out, not Ty.

Loved Tyrese in the comics and was excited for him to appear on the show, but the writers completely butchered his character imo. He was too soft, mostly useless as a babysitter, died in a stupid ass way.
They couldn't even let Tyrese go out like a badass in his final scene, dude fumbled the hammer and got bit again. Geez.

Has become?
He WAS. Always. I'm kinda glad he's gone now, maybe it means Rick's choice of shooting up the hospital will be done instead of these "trades."
Woah...woah...you are blowing my mind ..

Don't know who asked for this but here you go.
This is so gif reaction material. And by the time I use it in the NFL thread when next season starts they won't be crying spoilers
He is dead and the others are just seeing his ghost.

Its like the gif version of this.
Of course Ty is killed once it became clear Noah will be around with us for a bit longer.

Probably pretty unlikely, but they can pull any character from the game or comics and change their backstory or fate to fit whatever they want to do on the TV show, so anything could happen. But it could also wind up being nothing like what you'd want (see: Tyrese in comics vs Tyrese on tv)
None? She's not real.

Well technically none of them are "real". Also Daryl is a made up character so why no Clem? Still probably not likely going to happen.

Was sad about Ty at first, but the events following the bite were satisfying

Omg that gif lol.
But the gif isn't spoiling anything, no one should complain. Shit I'm gonna use it
Wish Ty would have went out in a better fashion. His actor was one of the better actors on the show. A decent episode and it's funny to compare Michonne the old road warrior to the settling down version we have now.
The show had some pacing issues though. I think it needs to get better on that front.

Bear does good work.

Black dude mentors his replacement, is taking out as he looks at dude's brother and realizes only one is left alive and is talked to being okay about his death mainly by a recently deceased black member. This episode was uh, weird.

Do we know if the actor playing Tyreese wanted out? It was a really pointless death, storywise. Just came out of nowhere. Reminded me of Dale in season 2 and the actor in that case wanted to leave.
It was a really well done character exit, though. Beautifully shot.

Tyreese told him "I'll do anything to pay my dues for Woodbury" before Sasha and Him GTFO after all the shit they saw there. It was the Governors "you didn't do what you said you'd do for me" moment.

Tears of Joy. Fuck Tyreese
I take back what I said earlier, initially his name appeared as one of the major characters in The Expanse, but looking it up now, he's not listed anymore. So I don't know why they killed him off.
edit - well he's not listed on the IMDB page, but apparently he's really on the show which is already being filmed here locally.

So they killed him by chopping his arm off? Could have at least let him say his goodbyes. Ok episode.
It seemed really odd to get rid of Tyreese. I don't know, it just didn't feel right. It was well done though, but it still didn't feel like it was his time.
I was reminded of Dwayne McDuffie's rant about the "Rule of three". According to him, if there are more than three recurring characters of the same color, then audiences will see it as a product that represents a specific race.

Not saying this is definitely the case here, but it is odd, and disappointing, to see how quickly a black character dies after another is introduced. As this rate, another character is gonna go once they reunite with Morgan.

Did I miss something? Was the radio he was listening to or thought he was listening to have. some reports of villages being plundered in Africa or somewhere? Am I to presume that Tyrese was part of these plunders and he feels guilty?

When Tyrese was accepted within the Governor's town, I think Tyrese said he was going to pull his weight around or something.
Man, I am so pissed they killed off Tyrese without giving him his hammer moment. Not that I read the comics, but you guys teased him like he was so awesome
I love how his similarity with Cutty in The Wire is that
they both want out of the game
You are not allowed to presume anymore...

So I am missing something. They said villages were being burned and children killed. Thats not zombie behaviour.

He said his dad made his family listen to the radio growing up. To stay informed about news of the world.
The show was trying to make the connection to being aware of the bad news of the regular world, not shutting it out, to not shutting out the reality of the zombie apocolypse world. Something to that effect.
So yes, you missed an entire conversation.

Ah that makes sense now. I was too busy talking Raptors Basketball as I was watching my bad.

Ah, so he is going to be on The Expanse as someone mentioned earlier. Nice.
Neat editing, nice retrospective feel... but honestly... this episode was a slow burner. They could have sent off Tyrese halfway through and moved on to something else. Of course, I have a feeling we're going to have to sit through a couple more boring episodes of the group running around looking for food and shelter.
The crap on the radio, was that legit or was Tyrese imagining it? If it was true, Rick and co. better hightail it the fuck out of there.
I too am tired of this show finally giving you, the viewer, a sense of a particular character's development only to kill them off. Beth in particular was episodes wasted for almost nothing.

Subete no aware
It's weird how formulaic the deaths feel now. I felt nothing when Ty died.

Tyrese was a horribly written butchered character. How they managed to completely waste one of the top tier comic character astounds me
