‘The Walking Dead’: Twitter Reacts to “How It’s Gotta Be”
Published on December 11th, 2017 | Updated on November 8th, 2019 | By FanFest
Last night’s midseason finale of The Walking Dead “How It’s Gotta Be” hurt. It featured the promise of death for one of the show’s most important characters, which was felt wholeheartedly by the entire fandom. So, with that in mind we will be featuring our usual best tweets from the episode – aka the tweets that made us smile and LOL – but also will have a section at the end with the tweets mourning and remembering our latest fallen character, Carl Grimes.

This was the moment my heart broke and every damn emotion you could ever feel flooded in, before leaving me. I now remain, with not even a flicker of humanity left. You will be greatly missed… @chandlerriggs thanks for everything Carl #TheWalkingDeadpic.twitter.com/RFdl5qoI9e

Another member of the fabulous #AtlantaFive is gone. I have no words. Just numbness. #CarlGrimes was beginning to shine & show his strength. But a moral compass too. That’s a death sentence on #TheWalkingDead. #RIPCarl #TWDFamily is mourning your loss.

Carl being bit is even more heartbreaking when you realize that it happened, not during the attack, but when he was doing what Lori told him on her deathbed.#TheWalkingDead

Chandler Riggs grew up on The Walking Dead & very dearly played Carl in a way I don’t think anyone else could ever do like he did.#TheWalkingDead

Ranking All of ‘The Walking Dead’ Midseason Finales So Far
Having studied Media & Writing at James Madison University, I always knew that I wanted to do some type of creative writing, but being able to write about zombies, Starks, and superheroes on a daily basis for Fan Fest is my actual dream. While I probably shouldn’t be as proud as I am to be so similar to Nick Miller, I do hope to one day write my own “Pepperwood Chronicles’.
