The Walking Dead Season 3 Theories

The Walking Dead one of my favorite TV shows on right now. If you haven't seen it, I guarantee you will like this movie. So if you have a chance to pick it up -- go for it! Now, what is the point of this post? To give my theories on what I believe will happen in Season 3 of The Walking Dead.

I will start of by saying two things. If the writers depend to much on shock-factor, the show will end up like Smallville and Heros and if they kill off Daryl Dixon, the show will fall flat on it's face. With that said, I am truly excited about this television series because there's so many avenues the writers can take. Nonetheless, this post is to give my theory about what I believe will happen in Season 3 of The Walking Dead.

In Season 3 of The Walking Dead, I believe Merle will return possibly with a gang of his own and Morgan will return with his son Dwayne. [SPOILER ALERT] Shane dies in Season 3, now for the first two season, Shane was the main villain in a way, he caused a lot of tension within the group especially when you see his actions. Now that Shane is out of the picture, the has to be some form of conflict within the show, to keep the show interesting, moving and on edge. So how would this be achieved? By simply bringing back Merle (with or without a gang) and bringing back Morgan. Merle is a racist and Morgan's black, both characters are strong and can definitely take charge, so with that said there will defiantly be some friction between the two.

Also bringing back Merle would mean T-Dog (also black) would be caught in the middle of this feud because T-Dog dropped the key in Season 1, which caused Merle to raining hand-cuffed on the roof. So Merle's only option was to cut off his hand. So there will definitely be conflict there.

Furthermore, with Merle returning, Daryl, Merle's younger brother, would also be in conflict for a number of reasons. One, Daryl always seemed like someone you can talk to regardless of if he hates you or not -- he can reason. So over the course of Season 1 and 2 he becomes a redeeming character -- you start to like him. With that said if Merle returns Daryl might relapse into his old ways and take Merle's side. Two, he may rebel against Merle. Three, if Merle returns with an army of outlaws behind him, this will put everyone in danger especially Merle if he doesn't take sides with his bother. There's so many possibilities that can take place if Merle returns.

Personally I think Daryl and Merle are very complex characters and if they were to be written off the show just for the sake of shock value, then the show will start to go down hill from there. Nonetheless, if you've never seen the The Walking Dead then I highly recommend it.
