TV Series - Daryl shouldn't die for a LONG, LONG time
I've already said that Daryl is the greatest and my favorite character in the TV series, and that goes for thousands of other fans of "The Walking Dead". Which is why I'm making it perfectly clear that Daryl Dixon shouldn't die for a very, very long time.
I think Daryl is someone that has pretty much surpassed his character's expectations when he first debuted in season one. With the storylines with Merle and Carol in season three combined with the awesome acting by Norman Reedus, Daryl is the perfect character for "The Walking Dead". I can't back this up, but I think Reedus does more autograph signings and appearances then anyone from "The Walking Dead".
If the writers were to kill Daryl in season four, I think it would be really bad for the show. He's fun to watch and he's a fan favorite. To kill Daryl, I think that Carol has to die first because she has a connection with him, along with a lot of other characters like Hershel, Beth and maybe even Maggie and Glenn. In addition, he's never appeared in the comic book series, so his story is a lot more interesting because we don't know what will happen with him in the future.
For some of the characters in the comic book series, we have an idea of where they end up. Take Andrea for example, who died way earlier in the TV series then her comic book counterpart, who is still alive. We can then decide which story arc we like better from which series. We wouldn't get that choice if Daryl were to die.
Honestly, it would suck if Daryl was killed off and as a result, I think the TV series would lose so many viewers and fans. Sure, the ratings may skyrocket for the couple of episodes after his death, but the show would just go straight downhill after that. But again, so many other characters have to die before we see his death.
I could even see Daryl living longer then Rick, but I actually see Carl surviving the longest out of everyone, but that's another topic for another day. But in my opinion, killing Daryl off in the next couple of seasons would be insane and idiotic. He's the best survivor in the entire series, so it would make absolutely no sense to kill him off anytime soon.
Tell me what you think about the idea of Daryl Dixon dying in the TV series. Do you think he should? Why or why not? Would you still watch the show if he were to die? Let me know what you guys think in the comments below.

First Season 3 Deleted Scene revealed + my thoughts
Some footage from a season three episode was revealed yesterday that features Merle and Carol. Here's the video if you haven't seen it already:
I'm guessing this takes place sometime after Merle joins the group at the prison. It seems like he's still being nice to everyone and trying to find his place within the group. What Carol basically says in the scene is that she should've been dead several times before. Then she threatens to slit Merle's throat while he sleeps if he does anything to Daryl or the rest of the group. The acting from Michael Rooker was on point, as always, but I think the acting from Melissa McBride was a little off mostly due to her smiling too much.
Overall, it was an okay scene, but again, a little awkward from Carol's perspective, but it still makes her character look great threatening Merle like that. I like the way Merle just smiles afterwards and then we see Daryl in the background.
I actually wouldn't mind if we actually saw this in season three. Sure the acting from Carol is a little weird, but it's still a really cool moment from her character. But it gives Merle more reason to just go in alone with a bunch of walkers against the Governor. He also said to Daryl, "You people look at me like I'm the devil." The scene gives more reason as to why he said that.
So tell me what you guys think about the first deleted scene from season three. Did you like it? Should this scene have been in an episode? Let me know what you guys think in the comments below.

Season 4 - New video released by AMC + my thoughts
A couple of days ago, AMC released a new behind the scenes video for season four called "The Cast on the Set of Season 4: The Walking Dead." Here it is:
The video basically contained some new angles and changes of the prison, which we also saw a little of in the trailer as well. We also saw the spiked gate at the entrance of the prison, almost like Morgan's traps in "Clear", where the walkers would walk into them and become immobile. All the members of the cast also talk about their characters and their mindset going into season four.
Lauren Cohan, who plays Maggie, also revealed that there will be a new threat in season four that "isn't walkers or other people." Executive producer and the mind behind the "The Walking Dead", Robert Kirkman, also said that, "It could be more deadly then the other two combined."
So what could this "new threat" be? The only thing that I can think of would be lack of resources. As time goes on, it gets harder and harder to find supplies and food to feed a whole community. Rick's group is huge now with all the additions of the people from Woodbury and it will definitely be hard to feed all those people.
The zombies are also starting decompose more to the point where we can see their bones and their bodies will be more torn apart. As we heard in the trailer and in this video, there will be more zombies then ever before.

Season 4 - "Sanctuary... those who arrive, survive."
The very last scene in the Comic-Con trailer featured Daryl, Michonne, Bob and Tyreese all in a car driving somewhere. All of a sudden, they hear a voice on the radio that says "Sanctuary... those who arrive, survive."
I actually have a picture of a rumored location we might see in season four and it's of Fort Benning. Here it is:
I've seen this same picture on many spoiler websites for "The Walking Dead" as being a location where they're filming at. Now I do remember back in season one, the group (Shane in particular) was strongly considering heading to Fort Benning for shelter. But then they decided to head for the CDC instead. I think they were originally on their way to Fort Benning in the season two premiere, but Sophia got lost, Carl got shot and the group just ended up staying at Hershel's farm.
We still don't know where the Governor has gone to, so maybe this is one possibility for somewhere that he has gone. But I think it would make more sense for Rick's group to go here because Rick and Shane were talking about checking this place out and seeing what was left.
So is Fort Benning the sanctuary that we hear of in the trailer? It could be, but I have absolutely no clue as to where this sanctuary may be. It could be the Alexandria Safe-Zone, where Rick's group actually went after they left the farm for the last time. They're still there even to this point in the comic books, so the television series will eventually get to Alexandria. But I don't know if that's the sanctuary because Alexandria is all the way up by Washington D.C. and Rick's group is still fairly close to Atlanta.
So I think Fort Benning has the best chance of being the sanctuary, but honestly, it sounds too good to be true. This is supposed to be the time where we see Abraham, Eugene and Rosita, according to SpoilerTV. So maybe they will be at this sanctuary. Another possibility is a group like the Hunters (a group of cannibals from the comic book series) broadcasting this message out to people and getting them to go to a certain location. From there, the Hunters would kill them, take their stuff and then eat them.
I really want to see the Hunters though, not that I want to see a person from Rick's group eaten by another group of survivors. But if they're going to be leaving the prison and they reportedly are going to come across Abraham, Eugene and Rosita, I would have to think that we could see the Hunters very soon. The have the potential to be very good antagonists in the television series.
Tell me what you guys think about this sanctuary they speak of in the trailer. Where is it? Could it be the Alexandria Safe-one? Fort Benning? Are the Hunters laying down a trap? Let me know what you guys think in the comments below.
