I don't think it can be anyone but Merle. I guess there's a chance it might not be Merle, but those chances are slim.

 

I would say Merle or Martinez. Either way I would say that person is going to play the role of Martinez from the comics.

 

I don't remember everything from the preview but I guess it is Merle Dixon. It makes the most sense. I want to see more of his character. (Dont we all?)

 

I say it is 50/50 whether they take him in as a prisoner or just leave him be in the group if they accept him in the first place.

 

Of course he's not a good guy, but now he has reason to hate the Governor now. And they never left him behind on purpose in the first place. T-dog dropped the key and Rick, Glenn, Daryl, and T-Dog went back for him. They will have to keep an eye on him, sure, but they will need as many guys as possible to take out the Governor and his goons, even if that means bringing in Merle. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

 

if you watch the preview you see daryl running through some trees...

 

But the governor already knows where the prison is on the t.v show.

 

I think Merle is just misunderstood. Yes, he said some insensitive things about T-Dawg and Maggie and Glenn and Rick and walkers and everyone else on the show and yes, he tried to kill Michonne and Glenn and Maggie and Carjulio and Rick and T-Dawg and everyone else on the show. I blame Mr. White for mixing up a bad batch of Blue Sky and poor Merle is now a pariah amongst, well, everyone.

 

Daryl gets saved by Rick and wants to stay with him. Merle stays where his brother does, and he really has nowhere else to go.
As far as the group goes, Merle could be good for going and getting supplies. Heaven knows the group has been low on ammo since season two started, lol. Merle could even stay on some other side of the prison to avoid clashes with Rick and the rest of the group.

 

I think they shouldn't trust him in the slightest. He may be against the governor now, but he will still have a bone to pick with Rick and co.
My idea? If they take him back to the prison, lock him in a cell and talk to him. Maybe get his bro to reason with him. Then decide what to do with him.

 

No.

 

Maybe Glenn takes out Merle with a shot between the eyes.

 

Everyone assumes Merle, but sometimes the previews mess with us. I hope it is.

 

You see Daryl running through the woods in the preview and the "What the hell is he doing here" comment surely has to be about Merle, Who else could it be? I think Rick's group will throw in a smoke grenade to rescue Daryl and he'll bring Merle with him, not that hes worth saving, he deserves to die IMO he can't be trusted.

 

As much as i want to believe Merle is going to survive, i don t think this ll happens. The show already got news characters, Tyreese being the new Merle. And it s big opportunity to show the gov go all mad, as the eye patch and others details seems to portray him more and more as on the comic.
i guess Gov will kill Merle and let him turn to a walker and kill him again or even more nasty:
giving Merle as food to some walkers in front of the public arena.
Daryl ll have to watch and the gov will let him go/ organize hunt int the wood for Martinez and others to play.
