In honor of AMC's "Dead White & Blue weekend" marathon, were giving you the survivors who "bought it" in the most memorable ways.
4. Joe
With all the zombie jugular biting going on, who saw this man on man action coming? With his life about to end, and his son about to get raped by some fat dude, Rick is the first character on the Walking Dead to learn some killing tactics from the Walkers. I kinda wish he took more bites to be honest.
3. Lizzie
When it's determined that little Lizzie is a friggen psychopath, Carol does the unthinkable. In the world of the Walking Dead, it actually made the best sense. Why keep this mental-case around? Imagine surviving walker attack after walker attack only to be done in by a little murdering bitch with a fondness for killing her friends, relatives, bunnies and rats? I was emotionally scared for the following week. This one wasn't physically jarring at all, (we never even saw it) but emotionally it was MESSED UP!! . ...."just look at the flowers Lizzie"..........................KABLAMO!
2. Merle
Nothing says brotherly love like bashing your zombie brother's face in with a knife while sobbing hysterically. Love him or hate him, his skull sure took a beating from his own kin. I actually watch this one from time to time. The special effects team on The Walking Dead did a good job recreating Merles face, and even better job caving it in.
1. Hershel
This one left me the most distraught.....and I had to deal with it for weeks since it came during the mid-season finale. One of my favorite characters got his god damn head chopped off with a god damn sword! In the comics, it was Tyreese's head that the Governor cut off. I'm glad they stuck to the comics and beheaded someone, but I was utterly devastated that it was Hershel instead....... Adding salt to the wound, we got a glimpse of Hershel's zombie head in the next episode, until it was finally put down by Michonne. I guess we can only hope he returns in more flashbacks or possibly in "Obi-Wan Kenobi style".
