Beth’s demise felt cheap to me. She didn’t die because of some horrible thing that just happened to her. She made a stupid choice to try to stab a cop who was much better trained and armed than her…None of it makes sense, and so I’m left reeling when Beth is shot—but partly because her death doesn’t come as a result of meaningful (or even just horrible) events.

Every single character survived the well-fortified, cannibal-occupied Terminus, but Beth is killed off by the cops. I’m not sure I like the math. I’m not sure I like the show’s decision to kill off a character after finally, finally giving her the space to become an interesting person rather than just a prop.
