Merle Dixon is back!
The Walking Dead's racist and hot-tempered brother of Daryl
(Norman Reedus) is back in action for Season 3, as evidenced by this first-look
photo AMC released on Wednesday. The last we saw of Merle (Michael Rooker), he
had unceremoniously chopped his own arm off when he was handcuffed to a pipe on
an Atlanta rooftop, lest he be eaten by the horde of zombies heading his way
during Season 1.
The Walking Dead Exclusive First Look: David Morrissey makes
his debut as The Governor
As we can see in the photo, Merle has a very interesting
device now in place of his missing arm. Does he use it as a weapon? The more
important question: Where has Merle been all this time? Presumably, Merle would
want to join other vicious and bloodthirsty leaders, and with the introduction
of The Governor (David Morrissey) on the horizon, it seems all too likely we'll
find Daryl's brother in the town of Woodbury, where at least part of Season 3
will take place as we follow The Governor's exploits. The other part of the
action, that we know of, will be at the prison, nearby where Rick & Co.
were last seen at the end of Season 2.
Still, Merle could be any number of places, including, but
not limited to: Hanging out in the prison commissary, safe and sound in some
other CDC, following Michonne (Danai Gurira) around, or part of Randall's
(Michael Zegen) group of friends who have come looking for revenge. Suffice to
say, Merle probably won't be too happy with T-Dog (Irone Singleton) since he
was the one who dropped the keys to the cuffs, a mistake that resulted in Merle
amputating his own arm. Ouch!
Where do you think Merle has been all this time?
