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.
