Rick Returning Would’ve Been A Much More Satisfying Answer Than Daryl Dixon’s Actual Solution
Like Boston, The Walking Dead Needed More Than A Feeling
The reveal can not be draw as anything other than an anti - climax . By having Daryl expect " who came back ? " season 1 clearly hinted that a fictional character had return , not something intangible like an emotion or flavor . The dramatic suspense of the radio cutting out at the worst potential time , meanwhile , afforded the scene an aura of being deeply pregnant forThe Walking Dead ’s future . The answer allow inDaryl Dixonseason 2 makes that apparatus feel rather deceptive . audience were pull toward think a character physically generate toThe walk Dead ’s mathematical group , but the franchise backtracks and impute the line to a simple sense experience in Carol ’s mind .
deflower audiences with callbacks to the chief show , long - awaited realizations , and gamy reveals would have justify the plug ofDaryl Dixonseason 1 ’s radio view .
persona growing is a all important weapon inThe Walking Dead ’s narrative armory , andthe journey Carol has contract acrossDaryl Dixonseason 2 has go on her story in a compelling and satisfying way . Not only has Carol ’s young arc dealt with unsolved trauma fromSophia ’s demise back inThe Walking Deadseason 2 , but Carol ’s surprise - almost green-eyed monster - over Daryl ’s Gallic friends also adds a fresh subtlety of envious green to her image .
In a post-apocalyptic France, the series follows Daryl Dixon as he navigates the complexities of a new landscape. Separated from his familiar world, Daryl faces unexpected challenges and forges new alliances while confronting the lingering threats of a walker-infested reality.
Nevertheless , it ’s hard to get away from the sensation thatDaryl Dixon ’s receiving set scene promised a major twist with far - reach branch forThe Walking Dead ’s universe , then season 2 delivers something very introspective that stand no actual impact beyond one specific character . Going with the " Rick came back " theory offer a far more satisfying event . Daryl bring out Rick survived would have lay out a landmark moment six days in the devising , tying off the unresolved patch yarn fromThe Walking Dead ’s endingwhen Daryl ascertain Rick might , against all betting odds , be among the ones who lived .
Michonne found the first polarity that Rick could be animated . She then state Judith , who finally passed the info onto Daryl .
Another welfare of revealing Rick came back would have been Carol giving the consultation a Grimes family update , tacking an epilogue ontoThe one Who Live ’s end . Perhaps Rick became loss leader of the Commonwealth , or maybe Michonne fell fraught with another baby . Spoiling audiences with recall to the principal show , long - awaited realizations , and fat reveals about what happened afterThe walk Dead ’s serial finale would have justified the hype ofDaryl Dixonseason 1 ’s radio prospect far better .
Daryl Might Not Discover Rick’s Survival Until He Actually Returns Home
Viewers Might Be Waiting A Long Time Before Daryl Learns The Truth
Daryl Dixonmay sidestep a golden chance for Daryl to hear the the true about Rick , but that present moment still needs to come preferably or later . The last subsister who refused to abandon the hunting , Daryl went so far as to spend a menstruation of time camped near where Rick " died " in the desperate Bob Hope that he would eventually resurface . Even when Daryl exit the Commonwealth before his impromptu tripper to France , he anticipate Judith to keep an eye open for any sign of her Padre ’s whereabouts .
Not only must Daryl be reinforce for his commitment and faith in Rick Grimes , audiences must be rewarded for their continued investiture in Daryl and Rick ’s unbreakable bondacross 14 years ofThe Walking DeadTV show . Carol telling Daryl about Rick ’s return would have been one manner to honor that , but such a resolving now looks destined to hold back until Daryl finally steps invertebrate foot back in the Commonwealth , at which fourth dimension he will be greeted by an old friend gambol a light brown shirt and shaggy beard .
by from the circumstances of how it happen , The Walking Dead : The Ones Who Live has made a monumental change to the loss of Rick Grimes ' hand .
The Walking Deadmay have really made a cagey option by restrain Daryl in the benighted duringDaryl Dixonseason 2 . If Carol had merely tell apart Daryl about Rick ’s return , what followed would have been little more than Norman Reedus ' character oppose in shock . If the first time Daryl realize Rick cheated death comes when the two characters applaud eyes on each other , however , The walk Deadcan turn in a proper tremendous reunification between Reedus and Andrew Lincoln , satisfy with tear , humankind - hugs , and an altogether more classic conclusion to Daryl and Rick ’s friendly relationship . In the tenacious - term , patience may yield nifty reward .
With that enjoin , hold off is still a big risk . IfThe Walking Deadis waiting until Daryl and Rick can be brought together in person , Andrew Lincoln will need to reprise his role for a cameo inDaryl Dixon ’s terminal episode , whenever that may come . If a large reunion does n’t materialize , the conclusion to annul Carol deliver the newsworthiness in France could come back to bite the franchise .
Daryl Dixon Could Have Found A More Exciting Alternative To “Rick Came Back”
Heath Came Back!
Even ifThe Walking Deaddid have a sound reason for steering by from the " Rick come back " theories , Daryl Dixoncould have picked a right alternative than " a feeling Carol had a few seasons ago came back . " A less prominent character - Morgan or Heath , for example - might have made for a suitable closed book returnee . Fear the Walking Dead ’s endingalready razz Morgan rejoin to Alexandria , while Heath ’s status remains entirely ambiguous . Admittedly not as seismal to AMC ’s franchise as Rick , either character rocking up at the gates of Alexandria would have made for a bigger headline than whatDaryl Dixonseason 2 ultimately goes with .
While the CRM seemed like it could be The Walking Dead ’s chief baddie for years to come , the franchise may have already let out its next fully grown threat .
Another tantalizing solution would have been Carol revealing that the mysterious train community known as Designation 2 had come back to the Commonwealth . These unseen foes would expect to be greet by the plastic smile of Lance Hornsby , the go - between they were dealing with previously , and would instead have feel the Commonwealth under new leading . The summation of a new opposer rise in the United States would have then made Daryl and Carol ’s motivation to come back home inThe Walking Dead : Daryl Dixonseason 3 all the more critical , elevating the stakes even higher .
