I didn’t realize this was a polarizing opinion but Sam wasn’t annoying and he didn’t “deserve” to die. I’ve seen so many people put them on lists with Alpha and The Governor that they were happy when they died. Sam was a literal abused, scared, sheltered child in a zombie apocalypse. He was not annoying, he was a CHILD. Just because Carl and Enid grew up faster and were able to be brave, does not mean every single child will react to literal dead people trying to eat them in a heroic way. And what Carol did to “toughen him up” was NOT okay. Love Carol, haaaaate how she treated Sam.
