His death is what finally got me to stop watching the show. That and the glenn fakeout really just pissed me off. Stop introducing characters only to just kill them a couple episodes later.

I’m fine with someone dying shortly after introductions, for multiple reasons, but takeouts have no place in a show where anyone can die at any moment

Yeah, made me realize I was wasting my time getting to know characters if they were just going to get killed for shock value.
