I Ain't Gonna Beg
"I ain't gonna beg!
I ain't begging you!"
This is the last line of Michael Rooker's character in The Walking Dead, Merle Dixon. Racist, Druggie Big brother of Resident hottie, Daryl Dixon.
Why the sudden TWD post, you ask?
Well, my folks and I were watching the last season of The Walking Dead. More of a TWD marathon really. So, I got to rewatch the heart wrenching moment where Daryl finds out that Merle has turned and he has to be the one to kill his own big bro. Tore me up the first time I've watched it, really. What I find quite fascinating is the fact that my mom seems addicted to TWD. My mom, who dislikes anything with gore or horror, is addicted to Walking Dead.
Haha, anyway, Merle is characterized as a racist,druggie who seems to only care about himself. I really liked his last lines, as I've quoted above. It seems like it's the perfect way to end his character. He never gives up. He never gave up on his brother and this was his character's redemption.
I honestly like the shows that kill off characters that has served their purpose. I hope a few more TV series adapts this plot device. Not because I like seeing people die and get kicked off the show but I believe that death is a really effective drive a the remaining characters in the series. It's also a good source of mystery like Warrick Brown's death in CSI: Las Vegas. Well enough of the death topic. This is getting morbid. I hope I get to watch Season 4 of The Walking Dead soon! I miss Ric and the Gang.
I'm really glad that I was forced to watch this show, like, literally forced by Gracie to watch a Zombie filled show, one of kind of monster that I actually find terrifying. It's a human drama. Everything about the show I love. I just hope they don't kill my bebe,Daryl, anytime soon, because I just might quit watching it. Lol.
Norman Reedus is wearing a bikini top and everything else is irrelevant.
