Me, too! I loved how, in the end, he didn't give up. He knew who he was, and he fought. He died because there was just too much damage; and that is a part of life in that world. But he didn't give up, even though that Terminus guy kept doing the "I told you so"; and I think that was a lot of the internal conflict with Tyreese....remember when he just sat in the car when the four of them were going after medicine (back during the prison sickness), and the car got stuck and they were under attack by the zombies and had to make a run for it? Remember when he was trying to figure out if he should participate in the Governor's attack on the prison? He had internal conflict, I think...should I fight or just accept? A gentle soul, in a vicious world.... real conflict. Well, I think he resolved that in this last show, regardless of the ultimate outcome of his being bitten.
The end, where the girls said, "it's better".....I don't think it was better that he died. I think it was better that the battle was over. Dying or not, he finally would be able to be at peace, and not in turmoil because he didn't know his place in the new order of the Apocalyptic world.
It was affirming, even though it was sad. I liked Tyreese; and I'm glad that he was able to declare that he "knew who he was"; because he definitely struggled the whole show. Real people go through struggles like that all the time....I don't mind when shows stick that into their storylines; because it adds dimension to the characters.
I will miss him.....
