After waiting two seasons for the big Dixon family reunion I was rather disappointed. Merle and Daryl are not given enough time together as if the scenarists were in a rush to get Daryl make his decision. These two are so important for each other and so important for the story, they should have had an entire episode for themselves at the very least.

 

Hello

When they were in woods. The scene at the arena was really stupid I thought. But the woods are a special place for them. It's where they grew up, it's kind of symbolic. Season 3 seems to dismiss the possibility to survive alone, but you need to be alone to realise the benefit of a group. Daryl needs to be away from them a while with his bro to understand it. Season 3 is a mess...
