You know what, I did too, and I wasn’t expecting that type of reaction.
The character was deeper than what is seen with a cursory glance.
It was brought to life brilliantly by a fantastic actor.
For all the the faults the character had, it also had worth.
Good stuff, I can’t think of anything else on tv that compels me to think about it on any sort of deeper level at all.
I know....you just can’t help wanting to dissect and discuss. It’s that good.
Michael Rooker did a fantastic job with the character of Merle. Merle really did have a well of humanity down inside. I’m sorry it won’t be explored any further now.
