I know I am, I think we should talk more about it since it's the only one with a build up that started in season 1, very well done over the years and even more amazing this season. Imo their brotherhood is beating at times even the Rick/Michonne friendship from the comics since Daryl is the embodiment of what impact Rick Grimes had on people, turning Daryl from the man he was before the apocalypse into who he is now, a storyline even more meaningful now that Carl is dead and Rick is about the exit the show. For me at least it's the most important remaining storyline due to it's history. It's even more heartbroken considering that they shared a brotherhood inside and outside the show in 9 seasons.
The next episodes will have a huge pay off for their dynamic just like Reedus teased and I can't wait for it, I predict a stelar performance from Andy and Norman. It would be a shame to not use Daryl as the one who puts down Rick if he's gonna die. Michonne should be spared of that pain now that she will lead Alexandria and have a baby but Daryl is perfect for that. Having a full circle from when Rick aimed the gun on Daryl's head in S1 to Daryl having to put down Rick with his own revolver ending it with "I love you too brother" (as a connection from 4.16).
I would like to put a summary of their relationship. What was your favorite moment between Rick & Daryl and how do you think it's gonna end for them?
Season 1: basically everything related to them when they were together on screen.
Season 2: Daryl slowly building up Rick's trust for being one of the only one who wanted to search for Sophia until the last moment, Daryl telling Rick that he doesn't see them fighting at the side of the road and when he backed up Rick in the finale when even his family was questioning his decisions.
Season 3: Daryl being the first one who took care of Judith while Rick was crazy and later returning to him leaving behind his own brother for his new surrogate family. Also Daryl trying to show to Rick that giving Michonne to the Governor would destroy their morality.
Season 4: Daryl trying to uplift Rick's spirit after the flu victims and in the finale when Daryl wanted to sacrifice himself to the Claimers for Rick, Carl and Michonne's safety leading to Rick saying that he will be his brother from now on.
Season 5: Daryl saying in Deanna's interview that the reason why he's there is because Carl and Judith deserves to have a home showing his love to Rick's family and Daryl accepting Rick's offer to be opened with the people from Alexandria (Aaron & Eric).
Season 6: them switching up their ideologies about people with each other's in 6.01/6.10.
Season 7: Daryl not accepting to become of Negan's goons and returning to Rick despite what he experienced at Sanctuary with his revolver as a Call to Arms.
Season 8: them fighting back to back during the war and with each other, also the graves scene from 8.12.
Season 9: once again everything related to their scenes due to their amazing performances and the great writing of Angela Kang.
