1. They kept you waiting for six months...
2. Then kept you waiting 20 minutes more
3. Before you know who dies they reward you with black and white character montages beloved of daytime US soaps
4. Turns out there was no particular reason not to show the death at the end of the last season (thanks) as they eventually showed it anyway...in a flashback
5. And this meant the incredibly tense slow-build momentum of the previous season finale wasn't paid off at all
6. The whole six month gap between Abraham's season-long acceptance of his mortality and his eventual death only succeeded in lessening its impact
7. Similarly, Glenn's death was equally as disappointing given that his final episode consisted of sitting silently and whimpering
8. In the end, the two characters you thought were most likely to die in different circumstances last season ended up dying anyway
9. They missed the opportunity to rationalise not showing a character's death last season by having Maggie die
10. It's now so obviously about shock value rather than character development and story.
