    Lol! Guilty confession: I hoped he'd get eaten! I like his character now.

    Daryl is my favorite!!! I really hope he doesn't get eaten now... but I think Merle will turn on him and somehow screw him over.

    Glenn is up there.. but I like Shane more. all the ladies in the show can just be eaten.. there is not ONE strong female character!! They are all whiny and I want them all to get eaten.

    I'm with the majority here. I couldn't stand him at first, now I adore him! I was truly shocked last episode during the flower scene. When he was telling the legend of the Cherokee Rose, it was definatley a new side of him.

    Daryl was definitely less likable when his brother was around. I'm excited to see how Merle's return changes the dynamics of the group. While I think the attitude of "we should all get along and help each other" is great in theory it's not necessarily the best for survival. Merle's cutthroat thinking is what got him from being on top of a building that was swarmed by zombies (without one hand none the less!) to finding his way back to the group (I'm assuming).

    My opinion of Daryl is definitely biased because I've had a huge crush on Norman Reedus since Boondock Saints.

    Oh, if it weren't for the Daryl and Glen, I'm not sure i would even like the show. They are my favorite in the series right now.

    ^^ This. Except I'd stil like the show but I'm biased towards just about anything with zombies.

    The symbol on the gas tank of his bike is a Nazi symbol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schutzstaffel). One would presume that he is a racist, or at least has racist leanings.

    Redeemed himself saving T-Dog (an African-American that one could say was responsible for Daryl's brother being trapped on the roof in Season 1) twice in a row when he got cut on the highway as a horde was coming through.

    Another interpretation of it is the fact that it is used by certain groups to indicate somebody that has murdered for the group.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hells_Angels#Insignia

    Considering it's presence on a motorbike would this not be perhaps the more accurate meaning of it in this case?

    That presence of the symbol actually raises two questions:
    (1) is it actually his motorbike or is it just something he found?
    (2) if he owns it, does that mean he has a murky past?

    The presence of it on the motorbike just adds to the complexity of his character. Does it reflect him? What/who is he? Is he a racist? Is he a killer?
    Edited to say: I just wanted to check the internet before posting about the second interpretation of the "lightening flashes" to see if the meaning of it was in the public domain. :laugh:

    Someone pointed out in the first page of comments that the bike belonged to his brother Merle. My bad.

    My opinion of Daryl -
    "OMG NORMAN REEDUS I LOVE YOU"
    *points to profile pics and brags about meeting Norm*


    My opinion of the character beyond that

    "Thank you guys for throwing me, as a comic reader, for a total loop by throwing in a complicated character like this"

    Daryl is by far my favorite. His character is never boring and never predictable, which I LOVE! I'm interested to see if Merle coming back is real or if it's some sort of a "vision" if that makes sense.

    With his dedicated hunt for Sophie, i'm wondering if he had a kid at some point. Maybe that was part of season one that I missed, who knows.

    Look at you!! You nailed it with the "Vision thing" Meryl is such a creep.

    And what was up with Daryl calling Carol a dumb b!tch in the stable? ( I got kinda pissed at him for that one)

    I didn't like Daryl feeling the need to remind Carol that Sophia was her daughter. My reaction would have been, thank you captain obvious. I liked her reaction. Her daughter died a while ago. Her daughter wasn't out there suffering. I can see how Daryl would not agree with that reaction, but I didn't like his reaction to her reaction. If that makes sense...

    Haha, yea. I blame the writers. :wink:

    We all mourn in our own ways. And I agree, I liked her reaction. It was very practical.

    It was. But in a way, it was to comfort herself. I cannot imagine a mother losing her child. To cope, it probably helps her to think that Sophia wasn't out there night after night, hungry and lonely and sad.

    Stupid writers! :wink:
