They couldn't have written a better mid season finale. Ending it with Daryl and Meryl in the same room accused of treason was incredible. ... ... But if they kill Daryl im done watching hahah
Yes, it was a great mid season finale. I don't think you have anything to worry about in regards to the fate of Daryl. Most characters on the show are expendable as we all know, however, I have a little theory about four particular characters whom I believe will be on the show at least for a while. Here they are:
Rick-- he's the main character of the show. From the very beginning, the show has mostly been about his coping with the situations, fellow survivors and zombies. At this point, again for at least a while longer, Rick is the foundation or anchor of TWD.
Carl-- He is unique in the sense that we don't see a lot of kids having survived the zombie apocalypse. Viewers are generally interested to see how a kid might grow up in a rough situation surrounded by zombies and a lot of questionnable people, and the producers and writers probably recognize that element to their show.
Michonne-- She is a very popular and important character even though Michonne has not been on the show for very long. I don't think I will spoil anything for my fellow coolscifi residents who may have not read any of the comics by indicating Michonne is rather important in TWD comic book world too. She's a very powerful warrior and proves herself a tremendous asset to any group she is aligned to.
Daryl-- Let's face it, Daryl is the most popular character on the show, the Fonzie of the show (for those of you who have ever watched an old rerun of
Happy Days, you know who Fonzie is). Daryl is another great warrior and his survival skills are very valuable to the group. So there you have it; this is my group of four characters who will probably remain on the show for a good long while. We don't know what goes on in the creative minds of the writers and producers of TWD, but I think it would be a big mistake for any of the four characters listed above to be killed off anytime soon. To do so might endanger the whole dynamic of the show in a very negative way.
