11 Times The Walking Dead Said F**k You To The Fans

7. Beth's Death

Season 5 is one of the show's best runs - arguably even the best - but it's not free from error. The Beth-at-the-hospital storyline was built up for half of the season, with hopes for a strong resolution.

Finally the heroes arrived to save her from Office Dawn and co, only for Beth to turn around and meekly take a swipe at the police officer with a pair of scissors, resulting in a shot being fired and Beth being killed off, undoing the fact that the whole point of the storyline had been finding her and wasting all the character development she'd undergone in the process.

To rub salt into the wound, The Walking Dead then spoiled the death for half its audience on Facebook.
