    "I aint gonna beg... I aint beggin you" were not only Merle's last words, but he also said that back in s1 when he was all alone on the rooftop in Atlanta. He isn't talking to the Governor in his last moments. He's talking to the same person he was talking to back on the rooftop. God. He sees all of this (being handcuffed to the roof, being killed by the Governor) as punishment for the things hes done, but he has never once begged for God's forgiveness, and he wouldn't even do it in his final moments. Very touching moments. Merle Dixon was truly one of the most complex characters in TWD history. He will be missed RIP

      I have to respectfully disagree, they made him an asshole at key points where he could have found his way. The only real moments he had were near the end. They were good moments, but watching all the episodes before this.... him being a junkie, his reasoning for being loyal to the Governor, his self pity after he realizes Daryl belongs with them... Idk, doesn't seem like a Merle transition to have a change of heart and if he had he would have sided with group instead of go out like a badass. He's not that complex in my opinion, but he definitely could have been.

    Merle did it for Daryl. He was always looking out for his younger brother or trying to and when he saw that Daryl had grown and stood up to him. Merle realized that Daryl wasn’t going to go or be with him he had to do something (sacrifice himself). and Merle knew it would give Daryl a chance to live his own life and a better one than Merle had.

    I think Merle redeemed himself. I think it was such a heartbreaking death, especially seeing Daryl’s reaction. It still makes me cry and I’ve watched it a dozen times! I loved the dynamic Merle brought and would have loved for him to continue but I think he had a good death, he went out doing the right thing and trying to protect his brother and the group. I can’t wait to see your reaction to the next episode! Great job on your milestone!

    There was another bit of dialogue in "Home" when Daryl & Merle were out on their own not only were they both abused by their father (Merle left the home because if he didn't he would've killed him and Daryl still needed a home to grow up in after losing their mother & so Merle did that so he didn't kill him) but Merle told Daryl "I bet you never told them that we were gonna rob that camp blind" referring to the Atlanta camp. But since Merle got left behind & Daryl then was left with their group, that didn't end up happening. Hershel said it best about Merle being erratic but having military experience and how Rick and the group shouldn't underestimate Merle's loyalty to Daryl. I was also really glad that they added this redemption arc for him, though I wish he would've had some more time to hash it out and truly become better & help the group for another season or so before dying, it was a really well written arc!

    I wonder what it would have been like if a woman had shown some love to Merle? I feel like him saying he can't go back was because he felt he would never be accepted. It seems he and Darryl suffered a lot of abuse growing up and no love. I think he sacrificed himself so that Darryl could have a family. Michonne convinced him that the group loved Darryl.

And seeing him sacrifice himself to give Daryl, Rick and the family a shot.....that was everything for me. And made me glad that I had always liked Merle. And yes I think Merle would have been a wonderful addition to the family. The thing about Merle that was evident from the start was that loyalty and love meant everything to Merle. It's just Daryl had been the only person he ever had in his life. But he grew to care for them I believe and would have had that same loyalty to team fanily. Just what I think, lol. And I still miss Merle to this day. And you have to admit, even in his most asshole moments he could he hilarious

    Merle’s sacrifice how I interpreted it was he did it for nobody, but Daryl cuz he was so selfish and not really there for Daryl that much when they were growing up. So he in turn saw this is his chance to finally do something for him for once cuz he could see that Daryl had made a new family in Rick’s group. Merle loved Daryl and he always did, but he was a bad brother and he knew it.

    Well she was wrong about that part.
    Merle knew he would never be accepted into the group after what he did to Glenn and Maggie, and no one would care if he died. He thought he was expendable enough to give Daryl and the others a fighting chance against the Governor by taking out as many men as he could.
    What makes this more tragic is that Daryl did care, but Merle didn't think he did because he never showed it. Merle died believing that his own brother didn't love him.
    Side note: Can confirm that was Ben (the kid) who Merle killed. Allen is going to be pissed and want revenge.

    22:48 Gets me every time. I can't handle Daryl crying.
    I don't think Meryl would have changed much, and he would have challenged Rick & Daryl continuously, but I think everybody would have been able to accept him if he proved that bottom line he's with the group. That's what Carol was trying to tell him by saying "Are you with us?" And I think Michonne reminded Meryl that he's running again, but he didn't have faith in himself to incorporate himself with the group, because he doesn't think he fits with Daryl's group, so he did the next best thing for his brother - he took out as many opponent soldiers as he could, so that if the Gov'na does attack, at least there's that many less soldiers to deal with. RIP Meryl. He did redeem himself. Not that it's an excuse, but remember that Meryl was high when he was on the rooftop shooting off his mouth, and the rifle. I think without drugs to screw up his brain, he's at least not irrational. I believe he really would have killed Glenn, because he was following orders. It's the same with Daryl. Daryl was ready to follow Rick's lead to take Michonne to the Governor, even though he clearly wasn't happy with it.
    This is one of my favorite episodes, even though Daryl makes my heart ache at the end.

    I feel like the Merle situation was a product of him seeing the dynamic of the group together and how ppl treat each other. How they treat each other.He knows Daryl has a family now and he is on the outside. He is giving Team Fam a chance. He told Michonne if she fed back to get ready for what comes next.. so he knows there will be fallout of what he is going to do. I also feel like Merle knows he could never be Daryl. He is a different person then Daryl. He finally did something for someone else. It was a heroic act. I feel like Merle reacted on emotion to a lot of things. He has never really thought things through. Just reacted. He tried to help the best way he knew how. I’m sad that Merle is gone. How do you feel this is going to affect Daryl? Will he be stronger or messed up like rick has been over Lori?

      Originally he was supposed to make it to the hunters arc (terminus) and I believed they would have done that and have him killed off by them. As he wouldn’t have been able to survive in Alexandria without a massive character change. Unless of course they had him with the biker group and had him somehow join the saviors and use him as “Dwight” but that’s just my thoughts on that.

    this was the moment that defined Carol and darryl for me. everybody wonders what the relationship was, lovers, brother and sister, best friends, but it's none of them, they are victims to terrible things before the walkers took over, they have a bond because of that that can't be labeled. a husband is supposed to protect his wife, a big brother is supposed to protect his little brother, they didn't.

    The thought of Merle doing it for Daryl never even crossed my mind, but it makes so much sense! He’s always cared for him, but he’s also abandoned Daryl multiple times it seems. And without Merle being there, Daryl flourished into a respectable man with an entire extended family to love him all the time. Maybe, Merle saw this and decided that he couldn’t be around him anymore. And If he couldn’t be around Daryl, he simply did not want to be. And, on top of that, he went out doing the right thing- ultimately trying to stop the Gov from attacking. Awesome awesome awesome!

Vader is the same ruthless killer for 20 years, and in the last 10 minutes or so of the film "redeems" himself, which is the main character arc in the whole series. I guess that last few moments as he saves Luke mean nothing because half an hour earlier he was just the same as he'd been for decades?

    The deaths of both Merle and the Ricktatorship in the same ep.
    Trivia on the episode:
    Merle was not supossed to die here. Michael Rooker was supossed to continue on the show on the 4th season.
    Part of the original plot of this episode involved Milton and Andrea trying to kill the Governor (so this implies that the script for the previous episode was quite diferent as well as Andrea would still be in Woobury but not as a prisoner).
    Merle's death was decided last minute (one day before filming of the episode begun).
    Merle's final line (which is towards God and not the Governor's) was improvised. The "No" that the Governor said after that was also an improvisation. Both were not on the script.

    I agree with Steve about what Merle saw with Daryl. He taunted Daryl with being Rick's yes-man, but he could see it, and Carol helped there; Daryl has a new family, and it's a better family than he had. They respect Daryl, care for him, and Merle knows that Daryl is better off with this group. He belongs, which Daryl never did before. So Merle's an awful human being, but he does love his brother, and also feels guilt over leaving Daryl to the abuse for years. Sorry for two long responses. Great reaction/discussion, you duo.

Maggie probably didn’t care for him because she wasn’t even part of their group when Merle was around. Merle felt like an outsider and didn’t think he had any options. He couldn’t go to woodbury because they’d kill him, and he didn’t think he’d be accepted at the prison.

    daryl: cries
    me: STRESSED
    I think it hit Merle hard to realize he had killed sixteen people for a man who just threw him out at the drop of a hat. I think it made him realize that wasn't who he wanted to be and really pushed him to going out to die trying to take out as many people as possible and hopefully Philip at the same time.
    If you remember, Daryl was also mildly racist too in the beginning. Not as much as Merle, but they obviously grew up with a pretty shitty family. Daryl was able to break out of that because he had Rick's group. Merle didn't have that until very recently. Daryl also didn't seem to always be intentionally harmful with it but more that he just may not have known anything else, if you get what I mean? For me I think regarding Merle if he had survived, he would have gone through similar experiences as Daryl and eventually gotten better. I don't think he'd ever quite necessarily reach the point Daryl got to, but I think he could have changed in that sense. He'd yeah, probably always still be kinda an asshole, but I think all that past behavior is something he could have fought off like Daryl did.
    I'm not so sure his good side was always /totally/ hidden though. When Andrea told him Amy died he told her "she was a good kid". Despite what happened at Atlanta, he did attempt some kind of consolation. I think it was always /there/ but he was probably trying to mask it behind being an ass because it wasn't really something he was known for.
