Lori Grimes was undoubtedly a selfish woman. Surely contraceptives are widely available in post-zombie apocalypse America. A chastity belt and a black shroud of mourning would have clearly been apropos for the death of her husband, aka the Beacon of White Masculinity. Instead, she took up with his best friend and conceived a child. As severe as her supposed crime against masculinity it is fitting that she should die in childbirth and be wholly eaten by a zombie. And yet...she walks the earth, plaguing Rick and my television. Let her die. A woman should not be forced to serve as the albatross around her husband's neck, a near constant reminder of the penalty of fallen woman (painful death and no peace). We get it. Now please--let Lori rest.
