The popular zombie show posted a photo (spoiler sirens blaring at the link, FYI) [hinting at a character’s death](https://www.facebook.com/TheWalkingDeadAMC/posts/1099091440117013 "undefined") before the midseason finale aired on the West Coast, causing incensed fans and viewers to post their sentiments on the page. “This is the dumbest post I’ve ever seen from an official fb page. Spoiling a major plot point for millions of your fans? Someone should be fired over this,” commenter Shayne Daugherty wrote.
