I think it's good to have "useless" characters in a story like this one, because not everyone can kick ass and take down zombies, and in a real crisis, you're going to have the people who just aren't fighters or needs to be protected.

My problem with Beth, though, is that her death just felt like a huge "we're just doing it for the shock factor!" they were inconsistent with her from the start, kept forgetting about her for a while (Maggie didn't even once mention her... she fought tooth and nail to find Glenn, and then just... never mentioned her sister again?)

This season, it felt like she was finally getting some characterization and development and attention. I liked the arch of she's-going-to-become-a-doctor-like-her-daddy they tried to get going. But everything that happened in that last episode was reading to me as, "well, we gotta kill someone. This'll cause a big shock, lets go with this."

That, and... you'd think that, after so long of fighting off zombies and basically immobilizing things coming to attack you, that she'd have at least learned to aim better. I mean, stabbing a woman wearing (what looks to be?) a protective/bullet proof vest in the chest... versus, oh, I don't know, the neck or the brain? Or even her arm. The writers didn't even given Beth a chance to live. It was pretty much, yep, she's gonna die. We're not even going to try.
