I'm not sure you can maintain shock value over an extended period for a television program in today's day and age, at least not in the sense that she'll still show up on IMDB as part of the cast, there will be set reports and leaked photos. They also need to give people a reason to keep watching.

I look at it this way. You can have her in the final shot this season, have people who haven't read the books go apeshit all summer with speculation, building anticipation for season 4 (similar to the way Michonne was introduced on TWD). I'm not sure they have a whole lot to gain by waiting on it, not when it can be a talking point now.

Not that it matters. They'll do what they do, and my opinion won't influence it either way. It would also work at the end of next season, but I'm not sure the impact wouldn't be greater now, in the wake of last night.
