    My reaction was like this

    Probably the only time I really felt for her character since her sister died. RIP to Andrea, a character that should have been so much more but the show writers failed her in so many ways much like they did to T-Dogg's, Dale, and now Andrea's character.

    TBH I didn't really expect the writers would end Andrea. The comment about the safety was a nice S1 reference. Even though she was not one of my favorite characters, it's a pity she couldn't be the much-rumoured comic Andrea.

    I've had times were I've intensely disliked Andrea but I didn't want it to end like this, never like this!

    I'm loving the season 1 references, like in 3x10:

    Merle: Damn near killed... that Chinese kid.
    Daryl: He's Korean.
    Merle: Whatever.

    ...was a reference to 1x04

    Daryl: You got some balls for a Chinaman.
    Glenn: I'm Korean.
    Daryl: Whatever.

    I loved the reference to 1x02 and 1x05 with the safety.

    If she didn't get death threats we might've seen the bad ass Andrea. She was becoming it then nope she's gone.

    I was actually surprised Andrea died, because it seemed "too easy" a reach from last weeks ending where she was shown in the Governors special torture chair. The previews all this past week leading up to last nights show, made it seem her doom was inevitable WHICH by TV logic means she will be rescued by the good guy (99.99% formulamatic TV stuff)...like Glenn & Maggie were before.
    So even though it was a bummer to have Andrea gone from the show, at least it doesn't turn out to be an updated "Hogans Heroes" with Rick's group constantly infiltrating undetected & getting over on The Governor every time...essentially turning Morrissey's character into a modern version of "Colonel Klink" and Woodbury into "Stalag 13"

    Gawd, I hope that she didn't leave the show because of that!! I heard about some of those threat stories & that would REALLY suck for several reason (besides Laurie Holden leaving after last night). The 2 most important ones just off the top of my head would be : 1.) affects it would have on getting future quality actors on the show (seriously... what actor would want to be in a series and have to deal with such crass behavior?!?), & 2.) possible changes in film locations for the show, due to such threats, which would hurt future Georgia revenue as well as strides it has made in the film &TV industry.

    P.S.: I hope that ass hat that called in from Tennessee is publicly called out by Chris Hardwick and the staff @ Talking Dead!!

    I'm probably going to say something really stupid now, but unless there's really a threat, I probably wouldn't leave the show (sure way of earning money). No matter what you play, as an actor/actress, unfortunately stupid people still exist, thinking that you are the character.

    That would mean that if Laurie Holden left TWD because of the threats, they have reached such extreme heights that it would have become unsafe for her to continue.

    I don't know how much credence I gave that article. No doubt about it, I believe that they're people out there doing stuff like that (always are). Maybe after that article, the threats increased (herd-idea), I don't know. It's just such a pity to kill of an character like how Andrea got it. It left me unsatisfied.

    If TWD was a soap-serie, she probably have gotten plastic surgery and, voila, a new face and actress. :zombies_confused:

    I felt embarrassed for her and wanted things to end quickly — mercy killing. Literally and figuratively. The entire sequence was painful to watch.

    It was my third time watching the walking dead and I only just noticed the reference.
    Andrea mentions about the safety referring to the time she met Rick when she pointed the gun at him and pulled the trigger but the safety was on, Rick later mentioned that she should make sure the safety is off.

    Rick carries a revolver. Revolvers typically (99.99%) don't have safeties, and the model that Rick carries is NOT the exception, therefore there is no safety on it.
