First Time Watcher S03E15

This was definitely a good episode and Merle reminded me why he was my favorite. I love the conversation he had with Darrell and the prison and with Rick and even Michelle. It felt like Merle strongly resembled misdirection. All three characters talking to him, put some kind of perspective into who he was, but I don’t think Merle was one person. I think he was complicated man with many layers and acted on whatever layer was dominant at the time. The actor did a great job with playing attic, Merle playing villain Merle, and being the Merle that realized he had a choice to do something outside of his own loyalties fears and even passed mistakes. I felt like a lot of people can put themselves in Merle shoes and learn something about themselves from the final decisions he made in the show.

The man’s amazing and I absolutely loved how well he kept his humanity in his final scene at the bar getting drunk. He went out his way and went on faith. I feel Hershel helped him out with that. They did a great job on this episode… even showing hi Hotwire a car really showed us all of the many perspectives you could have of this character and even with him and Michonne, cutting loose the bondages of a black person when he himself is racist; a lot went into this veteran’s final mission, I feel is honorable.
