I really, really, like Rick. It doesn't mean I agree with his character all of the time, but I don't know if I could watch without him. And my daughter could never watch without Daryl. So I really don't see either of these characters going until the show is on it's way out. My daughter is 16, I've hit the big 40 but it's not even an age thing— half her friends love Rick, half of mine choose Daryl! (We all actually love both, just one is a bit more preferred. I love when they work together.) I also would have a hard time seeing the show without Glen. And I like Michone.
Oh who am I kidding, I'll watch until the end but I like Rick!
I don't dislike Rick or Daryl, or want them to die, I just think they have done the most with Carol's character.
But I am predicting Glen's death this season.
