TWD - Merle season2 spoiler...

[bassman]

Ehhh...Merle doesn't seem quite as...prone to reason as his brother... I dunno. He started to pray quickly when he thought his card was up. To be such a tough guy slinging racist slurs, he was fast to give in to a helping hand... pun intended

Speak for yourself, Moon, I wouldn't ever want to be like any of those people, you yo-yo chocolate man! j.p. Hence the roll eyes & lol smileys. (But believe it or not, these guys HAVE been defended in the past, in pretty much the same fashion. ) I dunno. He started to pray quickly when he thought his card was up. To be such a tough guy slinging racist slurs, he was fast to give in to a helping hand... pun intended Yeah, lot of folks start prayin' to Jesus when they think their number is up. Note he was also quick to turn on Him & say " I'll do it myself!"

I hope he comes back long enough for me to hate him all over again before getting his inevitable horse treatment by a full-on swarm of dumb-fucks, er I mean walkers.

I love that people get so angry about this character throwing around "the N word" and being a douchebag, while there have been the same types of characters in every movie of Romero's trilogy. "Spick" and even "chocolate man" are thrown around, ffs. Anyway.....when they bring Merle back, who knows how he'll be? Maybe he'll turn around like his brother and become an ally to the group? Daryl was a hot-headed bastard at first, but became valuable to the group and quite the badass. In my opinion it's not Merle's racism that is the problem, and a few slurs thrown around isn't a deal-breaker. The man was a danger to the group, pure and simple. He was perfectly fine with endangering the group to satisfy his prejudices. Daryl didn't do that. For all his hotheaded aggressive behavior I never felt Daryl was going to sacrifice the safey of the group. As to why I think they won't bring him back for a one-and-done thing... the writers have shown a serious predelication for dragging out plot points, especially where character storyline evolution is concerned. If they bring him back and kill him in one episode I will be very pleasantly surprised.

If they bring him back and kill him in one episode I will be very pleasantly surprised. Fair enough. I actually considered he could be a recurring villian. If so I only hope it's a 2-3 episode arc & not a TRUE recurring thing. That would get old/kinda silly after too long.

Only if its two zombies driving the General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard. More than likely, it'll be a black zombie. Oh...the irony!
