    Rick said this in last nights episode "Judas...."
    and it got me thinking that

    a) i've never heard before that Merle has military training

    b) we don't know much about characters background info

    and is this because the writers don't consider it important for the whole plot.

    I've often thought it would be interesting if we got brief flashbacks to their prior lives. In the beginning of TWD we saw a flashback of when Shane visited Rick in the hospital and all that was going on at the time. The flashbacks would serve to remind us the characters living real and normal lives like the rest of us and were different people then they are during the ZA world. It would serve to magnify how shocking and horrific the ZA world is and how much it can change a person. You don't really know you are until you are caught in a new world of trauma, sorrow, fear, and survival.

    I believe that a big part of Merle and Daryls background will be revealed in the walking dead: survival instinct. I heard it will focus on their lives when the apocalyps just started and how daryl got his crossbow.

    Wikipedia says it comes out on 19 march 2013. Sorry if a second post appears, I tried adding a url to the first and it's under moderation but I'm a very impatient man. Sorry :Grin:.

    Yeah in the very beginning of Frogs he is talking to himself about getting locked up for 16 months for knocking out the officers front teeth.

    When Merle is handcuffed on the roof he's talking to himself how he beats an officier and went to jail for it.
