First my disclaimer: I haven't watched the episode yet nor do I seldom ever without reading the threads first. It gives me insight into what to look for as the episode progresses.......
I can watch an entire episode before reading the thread synopsis and find myself being completely blind to what happened in certain circumstances....
But back to Beth, she never became a warrior as the others have and now in a hostile environment, she obviously did what she thought she could with what she had....and it didn't work out. In other words, she had the survival spirit but not the knowledge that the scissors (from what I've read) she was using would not do the job she intended.
She did what a kid of her age would do and kudos to the writers who recognized that fact.
Beth should’ve went for Dawns eye. Dumb dumb dumb. Actually I don’t know why Beth didn’t shoot Dawn when she got the dead cops gun before her escape attempt. She should’ve went Rick Grimes on her ass.
I hear you...but it was just one more thing about her which served to irritate me, you know?
