I can't even express how infuriating this episode was. Usually, The Walking Dead's midseason finales have been fantastic, but this one was just awful in my opinion, in fact I actually consider it to be one of the worst episodes of the series. I'm only giving it a 3 because most of the episode was pretty good, from the beginning scene, to the fight between the cops, to Morgan returning, this could've been a great episode if 1 thing didn't happen. So during a trade, Beth decides to be really smart and stab Dawn with all the officers holding guns, and surprise, she gets shot. After that, Daryl shoots Dawn, the character that just started going through some real development that made you like her, but they literally kill her off, along with Beth, who also had a lot of potential after so much growth, just for shock value and because it's the midseason finale. Usually the shows' scenes where main characters die are really shocking, well written, and add to the story (such as Herschel's and Shane's death), but these deaths were so poorly written that it's frustrating! Why on earth would Beth think it would be a good idea to stab a cop who has so much backup, and why would the writers think it's a good idea to kill of the two characters that had just recently gone through so much development? And couldn't they have just let Maggie and Beth reunite? I don't mean to be so negative, but this show has not been too good lately. With the season's amazing premiere, I really thought this would be the best season, but I was left beyond disappointed with this first half.
