In Sunday's episode of THE WALKING DEAD, not only did T-Dog (IronE Singleton) sacrifice his own life for the good of the group, but Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) chose the life of her then unborn child over her own, instructing Maggie (Lauren Cohan) to cut her open for an impromptu C-section that cost the group's matriarch her life in a grimy boiler room. The reaction on Facebook and Twitter to both T-Dog and Lori being dead was instant with fans posting their shock at the ending of the show.

Robert Kirkman and Glen Mazzara and spoke to TVGuide.com about what happened in separate interviews.
TV Guide Magazine: You say you wanted to have two characters die. Was there ever a thought having someone else other than T-Dog as the other person?
Kirkman: There were a lot of things thrown around in the writers' room. I think the actors would probably be terrified to sit in on one of our sessions. It was very clear from the get-go that T-Dog was the character that needed to go for various reasons. For various reasons moving forward, that's a death that would affect the group in a big way. That's one of the things that caused us to land on that one.
