Im sorry adison but I couldn't be in the apocalypse with you lol you would try to spare everybody's life even when we're in danger or in a war lol you would say we need to hear them out... especially after you felt like Carol shouldn't have killed Lizzy
La Toya Sheri

CRAIG
Rick fed up fr, I feel him tho after everything he been through... not saying it's right but it ain't wrong either, cause and effect is all this is now, just consequences

Beth still a dawg in my heart

Beth dying like that made no sense. I think it reeks of bad writing. She was too close to being back home. I agree what with ya'll her weapon of choice was not worth the risk. RIP Beth! She was a real one!
AJ
Crash out Rick is my fave arc of the series
Desteny Alatorre
45:20 Brandon WHAT đ°

RIP Beth. I remember this was the first time I cried gor anybody dying especially after seeing Daryl cry. A shame.
Stefanie Anderson
Beth dying was probably the second most unexpected death of the series for me. It was so quick, so unexpected, etc. that I was shocked. To the point Adison made about how there were guns available so Beth shouldn't have stabbed Dawn with the scissors - I think that a gun was too impersonal in Beth's mind. A bullet to her head means instant death, no suffering, no nothing. Dawn didn't deserve a quick death after what she let slide. And also, if Beth had walked up to her with a gun out she wouldn't have gotten close enough to do anything, or if she did, then the followup to that could have potentially been a shoot out in the hallway where multiple people on both sides could have been hurt or killed. I don't think Beth's death was her own fault in the grand scheme - because as everyone said and saw, Dawn didn't shoot her intentionally or in retaliation, it was simply a reflex/instant reaction that she didn't have time to think about. Daryl crying always breaks me, so I always tear up at this episode, but also - major props to Lauren Cohan who plays Maggie - because no matter how many times I watch this episode since it's release almost 11 years ago now, when she sees Daryl carrying Beth out and she drops to the ground and screams, I end up sobbing uncontrollably. She is a phenomenal actress.
Cleo Griffith
R.I.P. Beth. Beth should have gone for Dawn's eye, at least get some damage done.
Crazy Taco
Lmaooooo yall getting disappointed at ol boys dive got me Rollin

Definitely some deliberate parallels in this episode between Rick and the cop lady. Both had to kill their friend who "lost their way" and take over control of the group, and then both seemingly turn more like the old friend they killed. With Beths death, I was fuming when I first watched the show because it really felt pointless lol, but I guess it mimics real life in the sense a lot of people really do die at such random and unfair times. Shit can come outta nowhere
Allure
Im sorry, none of those cops were good or innocent people. The cops were sexually abusing the young women in the hospital and bullying/mistreating the rest. They were abusing their power to the MAX. In my opinion, none of them deserved to liveâŚ.
Riy
Iâm so weak đđ. Going from the last episode where you said ânext time I see you Iâm gonna have to đ youâ and Rick did EXACTLY that to the cop Bob and now you canât support what he did đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł. Omg yall are so funny lol. But Beth was just trying to stand up for whatâs right and rebel again Dawn and her power trips. And honestly I donât think she cared what wouldâve happened to her in that moment
Nancy KD
I never looked at it like that, but it makes a lot of sense. She had suicidal ideation since season two. I donât know if I fully agree with it because I think she would have wanted to see Maggie again, but I do really like your explanation of what Beth might have been going through in that moment and the moments leading up to it.
Constantdev
I'm on "Martin"s side as per usual
vceisdead
exactly. Rick learned his lesson
vceisdead
honestly I think we need some "pointless" deaths. Not everyone has to have a top of the world hero death, and we dont need anymore of the cast being a part of the Walking Dead MCU we have rn
vceisdead
damn thank you for spoiling GOT.... on a Walking Dead video.
christine d.
đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł I'm deaddd
Jasmine Stone Lemus
Have you seen "the talking dead" episode that aired after this one, that actress was heartbroken she was written off the show. I don't think she chose to leave. Her death was used for shock value by the writers for the mid season finale of season 5, those if us who watched while it aired had to wait ten weeks for the next episode. They did that sh.. on purpose.
Ashleigh
Great takeâŚ. Hmm I guess she still took her out in the end
Ambar Lora
Exactly! Weâve been through too much to start letting stuff slide now like???
WheatThinDabs
Rip Beth but she 100% caused her own death she got shot because she stabbed the cop while she had a gun in her hand
girlboss
I genuinely think it was weaponized "Suicide by Cop." I think Beth's stay at that damn hospital was not great for her wellbeing or her mental health. It brought back feelings of hopelessness and everything being out of her control. I believe her sitting over the elevator was her really thinking about jumping. Her words to Dawn that this life is all they have left now and it's all that matters were pretty significant considering what she does at the end of the episode. She stabbed Dawn knowing it would force Dawn to kill her, and in turn force Rick's group to kill Dawn. This frees Noah and gives Beth her way out.
Fellerz
The last thing Daryl told Maggie was that Beth was still alive just gone. So, Maggie was just hoping Beth was Alive out there somewhere so that's why she wasn't too worried. I think they killed Beth off here because the Actress wanted to focus more on her music career so the killed her off
Samuel Daley
This was the first episode to ever make me cry for a tv show. The fact they found her, got her and lost her in less than 10mins did something to me but yes she caused her own death.
Jacena
I havenât teared up on this series yet⌠but this?! đ
Ash Lee Can
Rick's plan had a much higher chance of getting people killed. Even Noah knew that and he lived in that facility so he knew how both each officer, including Dawn, and facility operated better than all of them. It's easier to side with Rick's idea when you don't see how it ended up playing out, when the odds of that working was a lot lower and way more deadly than what they got. Same as the plan to go back a kill the Termites. The fact they all hot out alive in the first place was a miracle, and going back to out themselves a high risk like that had a higher chance of getting a lot of them, if not all killed by doing that. In the end, all they lost was Bob, who only got snatched up because he was outside all alone, and he was going to die anyways. Tyrese plan DID work. Beth didn't make it out because of Beth. That was HER fault. Nobody else's...
Ash Lee Can
The only reason anyone died was because . Tyrese had an absokute fair point. All it would take is someone getting spotted. Look what happened. Even Noah corroborated. The plan failed completely because of BETH. She thought she had something to prove and be Billy Badass and got the top of her head blown off in response. Dawn didn't even mean to shoot Beth, it was just a reflex to literally being unexpectedly attacked and stabbed. Rick's way would have almost guaranteed someone getting hurt because all it would take is for one to get spotted and the situation gets hot with no direction. Not to mention the innocent people that could which are a loy of weak people who can't defend themselves (the whole reason they were kept in the first place) Tyrese's way was fine for the most part. It would have saved lives if it wasn't for Beth's actions and the only ones who DID lose their lives were the two that haf the direct and the only two that attacked, which were deliverately directed towards each other. No one else got hurt outside of their actions. Even with Bob, they did want to risk and with fair reasoning. They literally. Glenn literally almost just hot the back of his. They that every single last one of Team Family made it out without barely a damn scratch was a blessing. To them, going right back into danger after the universe let them beat odds like that is like playing universe's face and asking for you to lose people. That's like escaping Michael Myers and then right back to run the fade. The only person we allow something stupid as hell as that is Jamie Lee Curtis and that was 20 years in the making. This ain't that. We don't know how many Termites were still alive. They have an armory full of weapons (Carol was only able to get Rick's python and Daryl's crossbow). Sure, we had guns hidden, but I'm certain they had a lot more in their community. There were about 11 people (sans Carol & Tyrese). Rick would most likely make Carl sit out. Eugene's out. Abraham is probably not letting just Carl guard Eugene, so he's probably out. So, now you're down to 8 people. Again, Rick would most likely have them split up, which . That's putting a HIGH risk of losing a lot of your people. Compare that losing the 1 they eventually ended up losing by creating distance and getting their bearings? They got Bob because he went outside in the middle of the night. They most likely would have had AT LEAST two people on watch while they slept in the church, so it would have been much harder to pull an attack with everyone inside without someone knowing. Even with them getting Bob and being alerted of their presence, which Rick had already been aware of because Daryl & Carol sensed they were being watched the night before, they were able to come up with a well thought out plan to eliminate without losing anymore people. That sounds a lot better than what very well could have been a d for less risk. Rick has most of Team Family together and well(physically aleast) and both of his children are alive, breathing, and in his arms after everything they all been through. I say they got off well and easy, all thing considered, so I don't see how Rick is somehow declared to have been right, when his ways had much higher chances of having the outcome result far worse than what we got, which were moreso by chances and the actions of others(Bob & Beth). Losing 2 out 15 people in the span of like maybe 4-5 days with everything that happened sounds like almost unbeatable odds.
courtney
a lot of people mention how bethâs death was pointless, and i agreeâŚbut i think thatâs the point. in this type of world, people would make stupid decisions & mistakes and that could cost you your life. some people would die and be killed for no good reason. itâs an apocalypse so not every death will be warranted or righteous or justified. thatâs how i took it at least đ¤ˇđ˝ââď¸
lily mccann
Also Martinâs actor refused to put his hands around the babyâs neck so her real father did it.
lily mccann
Rick said to go back to Terminus and finish and he said to go in blasting at that hospital. He was right both times. No cops there were good because they let bad things happen and were all delusional. It would have just been them going crazy together if they didnât drag others into it by kidnapping. They wanted servants, victims, and a false sense of purpose.
Monica
He was in The Bikeriders with Tom Hardy last summer too.
EliG
Maybe Rick had the better plan. They went with Tyrese/Daryll kumbaya everybody-gets-to-live plan. Listen to Rick people!
EliG
Adison/Brandon - would you have left hospital and gone off with our gang? Looking mighty dirty, disheveled, unhinged and super armed. Meanwhile all spick-and-span at the hospital and they had strawberries! Electricity somehow. (Back up generators lasting years?!) Line from Station 11 - "to the monsters we're the monsters."
Matthew Tallent
The guy who played Martin wasnât the Babyâs actual father. But they did get her actual father to do the scene with the hands around the neck. Thats why his face was never shown during that scene.
Faith
A bad decision on Beth's part that costed her her life. They could have easily left then snuck back in to get Noah. There definitely would have been a few more black eyes in store for Noah until they would have been able to do that. Dawn would have definitely gave him a few for escaping. RIP Beth. Just wished you hadn't done what you did.
Mikel Swart
So old Bob was Thumb Thumb New Bob I will call BBB. Broke Back Bob
brandy.
yeah agreed. And also to add to that - usually the character development has an arc that teaches a lesson to us, the other characters, or just provides emotion within itself. Not eveything has to have a "satisfying" happy ever after ending - and not all characters who will die are insignificant, if that makes sense.
Tyrademi
It took Beth 4.5 seasons to toughen up. She grew on me and now weâve lost her. This episode reminds me of Arya (GOT) about to be reunited with her mother and brother â but then⌠we all know how that ended. In this situation, Maggie is Arya. My heart breaks for Daryl and Rick. I know Rick feels like heâs failed Hershel.
David James
"all the character development for nothing" eh. I think characters unceremoniously dying is one of the more interesting parts of zombie fiction.
Shawanda Hafford
I didn't like how directors took Beth out like that. It was pointless. All that character development went to waste. Great reaction. Looking forward to next episodes. You guys are in for a wild ride.
Ryan Cumming
Brandon's face when "he hit the gas like that" đłđ¤Ł
Ronan Crawford
I hate how she died but I get why beth did it, ever since the farm she's always been looked after, everytime she's been in trouble, she's had to have been saved and I think the comment dawn made to beth about being useless and always needing to be saved stuck with her, I think it made beth feel weak knowing she was once again saved by the group and to show dawn she's capable, she stabbed her.
Ashleigh
Father Gabriel pissed me off so much this season
Ashleigh
AdisonâŚ. Youâre gonna have a tough time with the rest of this series if you canât see why Rick needs to be a savage rn đ
Aaron Alexander
I have a problem with Brandon tryna challenge me because why he have to have the arms out like that. Ion like det. lol. Great reaction
Queen S
Hi Adison hi Brandon I think Rick has taken on some of the characteristics of Shane I remember when Shane was telling him you can't always be the good guy and that's true in some situations especially in the world that they living in because since Shane has died things have gotten a whole lot worse our group has been through a lot the governor people trying to kill them and eat them. I feel really bad for Maggie and Daryl bad for Maggie because she just got the news of her sister was alive and Daryl because he wanted to save her so bad she helped him get through a lot when they was in that cabin when she told him to burn his past and she sat there and she told him you're going to miss me so bad when I'm going Daryl Dixonđ
Wolfy! Wolfi! WolfĂŠ!
Hun...you go put your pistol away before you shoot holes in your walls đ Maggie should have absolutely been pushing to search for Beth
Wolfy! Wolfi! WolfĂŠ!
100% You almost said his quote đ "I don't take chances anymore"
Wolfy! Wolfi! WolfĂŠ!
Beth's death is one of the most pointless in the series. It was just for shock that's all. I won't post spoilers of course but there are only a couple others that piss me off more than hers. And seriously she wasn't my favorite character or anything, but her story being all cut short like that after episodes featuring her...it was just horrible writing. I DO think she wanted to try and free Noah either through sacrafce or signaling to the others and fight...but I DONT believe this character as much as she has grown would have stabbed her with bandage scissors. And the writers were just trying to shock people. Oh you like this character now? Boom lights out

Austin Hogan
A Wife beater Crazy scientist dude those people going to Nebraska/randal best friends the governor/ followers and the termite people eaters the Claimers and finally the piggies
Galadriel
I agree that she did it to save Noah, but she did not think it through. What did she expect exactly by stabbing someone holding a gun with tiny scissors to their shoulder (She was aiming for her heart but wasn't even close). If she thought about for just a little bit more she would've realized that once someone shoots one bullet, everyone might. Meaning Noah will probably die so you're not saving him, Carol can barely move so she probably dies too. Rick is in the frontline as well. Did she have good intention? Yeah sure. Was what she did extremely stupid? Very much so. Stupid and good intentions is not a good combo and can make one selfish sometimes because they don't think stuff through. You might want to help someone and go about it wrong then end up hurting them.

rip
Owlie
I always get so annoyed when the hospital people offer for them to stay like why even ask after all that?? We just gonna sit here and act like none of that happened.
Cole hauser
Which is why I think Noah and Rickâs attack idea wouldâve worked better. Who knew that group more than Noah. The outcome even showed that an attack wouldâve likely begun a coup against Dawn where even her people overthrow her with Rick as Noah had mentioned. I believe it was Tyrese trying to push for a peaceful resolution that caused what happened to happen. Mostly because I feel like Beth did that knowing that Noah was going to once again be enslaved never able to leave ever again. Dawn was so focused on maintaining her power that she felt like a situation of you canât expect to reason with the unreasonable.
Cole hauser
I would actually argue that it was an attempt to free Noah being why Beth did that. She knew he was gonna get abused again and she knew he wasnât gonna ever be able to leave ever again. So in that moment, I believe she did that in an attempt to kill Dawn and free anybody who didnât want to stay there if they didnât have to however, she died, and Daryl killed her. Which in my mind further pushes Rick and Noahâs attack mentality because even after Dawn died, it showed that a lot of them didnât even like her and they probably wouldâve joined in overthrowing and killing Dawn as Noah had mentioned. So at the end of the day, I would argue that Tyrese is at fault because he pushed for a peaceful resolution on top of info given by Noah who wouldâve known that hospital group better than anyone and has been with them for months. Dawn felt like a situation of you canât expect reason from the unreasonable..
Tad Dat
Non important Jones is crazy đ¤Ł
Cole hauser
This was actually the first major time when most audience members thought it was a pointless death. However, having seen this episode throughout the years, I feel like this was the definitive moment where going violent wouldâve probably worked out better mostly because I feel like Beth did that to try and free Noah. Trying to go the peaceful route just doesnât work that well anymore and I feel like that was what those experiences that they have just gone through was meant to show them that agreed peace isnât always on the table and sometimes you have to go out of your way and be the savage. Sure an argument can be made that Noah couldâve just simply stayed, but he wouldâve been enslaved and abused. Rick had a thought out plan that sure couldâve gone bad but you have to take to account. Noah has been at that hospital for so long that he knows the people and their ways by heart. Yet Tyrese tried to claim a peaceful outcome to somebody who knows who they are. That wouldâve been like Merle showing up at the prison in season 3 talking about the governor before the group met him, but Daryl who hasnât even met him speaks and pushes for peace with the governor. All of this to say, I truly believe Rickâs plan wasnât necessarily right, but I believe Beth wouldâve lived. I do like that Daryl is the one who pulls the trigger killing Dawn though because Beth was like a little sister to him who gave him hope in a hopeless survival situation. Another way to look at this situation also is that was the first time they attempted a peaceful resolution since the prison and one of their group members died and Beth dying and Daryl killing Dawn allowed everybody else who was a prisoner there or not loyal to Dawn to leave if they wanted. Further proving that Rickâs attack couldâve worked in their favor because of those not loyal as Noah had also mentioned. Currently weâre hitting a point in their survival where the Carol season 4 perspective is the way of thinking where itâs not about right or wrong itâs âdid it work or did it not work?â Because you canât be a communityless survivor whoâs not willing to kill to survive as well as expecting others to be as reasonable as youâre willing to be because Itâs survival of the fittest not who is the kindest.
Galadriel
What Beth did was very selfish. She knew she was gonna die (Kinda wanted to) and she nearly took all her friends with her. Stabbing someone in the middle of a hostage trade? With both sides fully gunned?
Na-Shara
The only problem was the weapon of choice being something we view as weak in that specific situation. A pocket knife for instance would have done way more damage if used the exact same way, but what I think some fail to realize is Dawn already had that trigger finger ready so she wouldâve reacted that way to an attack with any weapon including a gun. The only instance where it would have been an even playing field is if Beth had a gun also, but Iâm sure she only wanted Dawn to get hurt which is why she targeted her specifically instead of initiating a gun fight between her group and theirs.
Hunchooo
How you canât support Rick doing that when that man literally knocked Sasha out and is laying there telling the man that they all gonna die
ReelPiscesPlays
The move by Beth was so stupid and unnecessary . Rick couldve signaled something to the other two officers and they couldâve turned the tables on dawn so that they could get Noah. Damn was unliked and outnumbered
Guyton
You guys have to understand, Rick THIS SEASON is not taking chances with anybody. Rick in season 5 is acting a lot like Shane did
Cleo Griffith
Iâm catching you guys tomorrow the good Lordâs willing.
Rindamarie
After returning home from the gun range, I still had my pistol on my hip. I saw a large spider on the wall, and I pulled my gun without thinking. I caught myself before pulling the trigger. I get that automatic reaction from Dawn, just like Daryl had the same reaction! I wasn't a fan of how Beth went out. A lot of fans have said Maggie forgot about Beth this season. After Rick, Darryl spent most of season 2 looking for Sophia, Maggie should have been getting the crew to look for Beth.
Jaimie-Lea Livingstone
Daryl crying gets me everytime
Lauren Nicole
He said "stop. Stop! Stop, I won't ask again." He just followed through. * But yes! That's 100% true. They were going to have the actor do it (the actor isn't her father) But he felt uncomfortable with it and was afraid he might hurt her accidentally. So they had her real father step in, and that's why the scene is shot so weirdly. You don't see any wide full shots with the actor holding her head and neck. All you see is zoom in on actor's face, then zoom in on hands holding Judith, then back to zooming in on the actor's face. Lol. They did a good job cutting it together, and they knew nobody was going to notice those weren't his specific hands. Lol.
Acacia
Rick is an absolute beast this season, doesnât rlly surprise me that he killed bob. Especially if bob attacks a group member, takes off running, and soils the chances given to him to survive đ¤ˇââď¸
vanessa
in the beginning i get why rick did that bc why you running, who are you running to or trying to possibly warn about the plan they got in place? he was trying to trade them not kill them so bro kind of did it to himself ngl.. i personally wouldâve just brought him back for the trade but i feel like rick just fed up at this point and isnt gonna keep taking chances on ppl

been waiting for this
Edward
how can you not support rick taking out bob. rick was noting but polite last time him and this bob spoke then bob went out of his way to attack sasha and took off running. bob had no plan he didnt even go back for his fellow cops he just took off running presumably to make it back to warn his people... rick gave him chance after chance to stop running and didnt. for all they have seen before our group cant take risks on people. sasah could have been killed and had rick brought bob back there is no grantees he doesn't try something again but worse. im sorry yall but bob got himself killed and rick did what he had to do.
