Tell your dad he'll meet his favorite character soon enough if he doesn't turn it back on.

Denial is a preliminary stage of grief, my friend. Hang tight for the long ride.

Seriously, his favorite character is *Noah?* Wtf why? Noah's just eh. Glen on the other hand, he's been there since season 1, even before the previous Daryl. (I like Daryl, but he's Overrated. :P)

...I can kind of understand his feelings but no way should punish you all by turning off the cable completely. turn the tv off sure, have a sulk and feel pissed off, yeah why not. Just don't make everyone else suffer. I've had my mood altered because of characters dying in books many times but I didn't start burning books... just sulked

I HAVEN'T WATCHED IT YET! Now I'm dying on the inside wondering if your father's favourite character might also be mine! This is borderline SPOILER! FML

So I'm guessing it was either Noah or Tyrone because those are the most recents.

I personally still don't understand why people get so emotionally attached to fictional characters
