No idea. They have diverged a fair bit from what I understand of the series (wasn't Tyrese supposed to replace Shane as Rick's lieutenant?) so no idea what they will do.

Deaths of characters I like is one of the big reasons I haven't bought Game of Thrones to watch (we don't have HBO but it's now available on iTunes)--I learned enough from reading just a bit of the first Game of Thrones novel a few years ago to know that I don't want to go through that frustration.

And even Downton Abbey has been doing that to us in the third season as actors leave to do other things. We haven't quite made it to the end of the third season yet but I know there is another big death waiting for us in the season finale--just don't know who (and don't want to know).
