I didn't feel emotionally attached to this episode. It felt forced. Beth is too smart to stab an armed cop with tiny scissors. And we're supposed to believe Dawn either accidentally or on purpose was able to shoot her in the head in about .5 seconds? Come ON. Seemed like a lazy episode.
She was so sad on TTD. I was happy when Chris gave her a hug, she looked like she needed one.
I know! I wish they had had Norman or Lauren on the show with her for support, instead of Robert Kirkman just awkwardly sitting next to her like "hey, sorry I killed you (not sorry)".
Lol jinx!
Plus Kirkman can't explain anything because he likely had very little to do with the decision and story line. He writes a few episodes per season, so we have poor sad Emily Kinney trying to explain the unexplainable. She at least deserved a death that gutted people and not one that made everyone go what the actual fuck.

Having Lauren or Norman there to support her would have been so much better. Ugh. I'm so upset still this morning that this happened.

Did you see the interview she did with tvline? It was also sad but it sounds like they really treated her poorly (not her cast mates but the writers/Scott Gimple).
I'm upset for Emily because she made me sad. But I'm mostly confused and annoyed in the context of the show. I cried last year when Hershel died because it made sense but it still gutted me. I feel like with all the build up of Beth, the character deserved (as did the fans) a more impactful death. Not this confusing slop.

That interview killed me. She seemed so upset and rightly so. She built the character of Beth so wonderfully over the last season and I hated that it ended this way. Honestly I knew it was probably coming from spoilers and her not being on set but I was still so surprised. She mentioned that some of her castmates found out when they got the script and that really sucks.
I am really interested to see how this effects Daryl and how that plays out. He is not going to take this well and I do this that will be really interesting.
TWD's FB/Twitter pages were posting spoilers before it had even aired on the west coast. I would've been sooo mad.
Anyway, I'm sad it was actually Beth. Once we started learning more about Dawn, I figured she wouldn't survive. I felt bad for Maggie. I'm in the camp that she thought Beth was likely dead, I never thought she didn't care or abandoned her. What was she supposed to do? Put up "missing" flyers? I mostly feel bad for Daryl though
I think when Dawn said "see, they always come back" Beth realized just how crazy and manipulative she was. But I really don't think Dawn killed her on purpose. Or, maybe was just trying to save her own ass.
I also thought Maggie had believed Beth was dead this whole time. She basically lost her twice.
Ugh. Poor Daryl. Poor Maggie, too. I know she seemed indifferent, but I agree that she was just trying accept that Beth was gone. That last 30 seconds or so of the scene where they came out of the hospital was really good acting by both Lauren and Norman, I thought. OMG, when he was carrying her out. I cried last year when Herschel died, and Daryl crying and carrying Beth out made me cry too.
I'm disappointed because I really would have liked to have seen what happened between Beth and Daryl after a reunion. I have no idea what the hell they are going to do for the second half of the season now, because as others have said, this was really disjointed and jarring.
Obviously I'm upset about it, but of all of the main characters that could have been killed off (because let's face it, we knew someone was going to be offed), my first choice would have been Beth.
But Darryl carrying her out of there-that was really rough to watch.
