I wouldn’t think so. Big difference between Carol and Dwight. I’m sure rick could care less.

 

No Rick doesn't care but I'm sure Tara and Rosita may have something to say about it.

 

I hadn't noticed the parallel. Nice!

Your name title almost rhymed.

I will miss Dwight. I hope they figure out a way to bring him back without Daryl murdering him. I did love that Daryl said, "Go find her." *melts*

 

For some reason I can't see Rick spending any time stressing over Dwight's whereabouts...although he did make it a point to reach out to Jadis (via Morgan) despite all of her flip-flopping lol.

 

Rick exiled Carol for very different reasons. Rick banished Carol because he thought she had become a threat to the group, Daryl banished Dwight as an act of mercy. I think Daryl feels like Dwight did redeem himself and even understands what compelled Dwight to do the things he did to Daryl, but I can't blame Daryl for not wanting to play neighbor with him going forward. I came to like Dwight's character, but from Daryl's perspective, I think he did the merciful and right thing. Other than Tara, Rosita, and maybe Eugene, I don't think anyone's going to care that Dwight rode off into the sunset. I hope he finds a comb

 

Rick banished Carol for selfish reasons: at first he told Carol it was to protect her from Tyreese, but then he admitted he didn't want her near his children.

Daryl banished Dwight for selfish reasons too: Dwight not only murdered Denise (shot her in the back of the head, and joked about his aim being off) he also kept Daryl in a closet, buck naked, eating dog food sandwiches, and listening to a loop of "Easy Street", although it was Dwight who wound up breaking in the end.

I've never been a fan of this Daryl vs. Dwight subplot. Its ridiculous that Daryl tried to avenge a woman he barely knew, and Daryl is smarter than he's been portrayed these last few seasons. Having Tara out for revenge is more logicial.

 

Will Dwight make a reappearance like Carol did by saving them in some way?

 

And some shampoo...

 

I just watched it all the way through again for the first time, instead of rewatching sections.

Daryl absolutely meant to kill Dwight. He had told Rick long ago that when this was all over he was going to kill Dwight, and this was the moment. Daryl drove them deep into the woods off the road. It was Dwight's acceptance and deep acknowledgement and apology that saved him.

The completed circle was that Dwight had stolen Daryl's ride and left him defenseless in the woods, all with no good reason at all since Daryl had only offered them a good life. Daryl left Dwight with the truck and sent him off with good wishes, even though he still hates Dwight for many reasons.

If Daryl had always meant to simply send Dwight on his way, the truck would have been parked on the shoulder of the road, or he would have dropped Dwight off on the road and turned the truck around and driven home himself.

You're a good man, Daryl Dixon.

 

Rick knew all along that when this war was over, Daryl was in charge of Dwight's fate. It will not be a surprise to him. And Daryl didn't really "banish" Dwight, because he was never really part of their group to begin with. Dwight was part of an enemy group and Daryl simply let him go free. I'm not sure why Rick would resist this. This is the same thing Rick did with all the other Saviors. He let them go.
