A number of flashbacks to the Dixon brothers backstory as teenage children would be so needed in the Daryl Dixon spin-off.

Great acting btw. Merle looks almost crying when he realized that Daryl experienced the same childhood he escaped from but still Daryl went back to rescue him on that rooftop. He failed to protect his brother now the Governor is about to kill him and his friends.

Merle thought he was too far gone to get any better but he proved himself wrong in his final moments

Merle knew most everyone was right about him. And he knew he could never change. Not enough anyway. So he helped the only way he knew he could. And he died doing it. Miss him.

Hardest part is Daryl is no longer that guy at the beginning. He’s fighting so hard to his Merle’s brother because he loves him but he’s changed so much that it hurts him to leave Merle behind because he has a family he can’t give up even meaning he gives up his own blood

A rare real glimpse at merl. He could have done great things for the group if he wasn't damaged goods. Glad Daryl found a way to swim while his brother sank.

Merle was an amazing character and well acted

Absolutely love this scene, it truly shows just how far Daryl has come as a character, no longer needlessly violent or picking fights, he became a strong, supportive and reliable ally, friend and brother to not just Rick, but the group as a whole. In a way, Daryl being separated from Merle was probably the best thing that could have happened to him, as Merle was definitely a bad influence on him, Merle was holding him back and keeping Daryl from being the good man he always was deep down. Sadly Merle didn't have the support that Dayrl got, as I don't believe Merle was an evil guy, but he clearly picked up a lot of his father's less than stellar traits and abusive mannerisms, and was too stubborn to change for the better, thankfully he did go out fighting, and showed there was some good in him after all.
