Wow. So glad I stopped watching last November. TWD is done without Andrew Lincoln. Does anyone watch for Daryl anymore? I stopped caring about him in season 5. Seriously, Daryl as the new lead? Maybe if Carol took over I’d care more, but Daryl? He’s the person a lot of people blame (whether actually responsible or not) for getting Glenn killed, screwing over Rick by him jumping the gun with Negan, not to mention for Carl getting killed. And a few other things. Wrong choice to lead the show.

Hey, they're giving me the perfect "jumping off" point. Sweet!

Just end it, give Reedus a spin-off but the main show should end with Rick.

I think the idea is Daryl is probably the most popular character other than Rick. I jumped off a few years ago so this won't effect me much. But the series has been on a downward spiral for years, why not just take the opportunity to wrap it up.

Agreed. Doubtful it will go beyond the first season with Reedus as lead.

With a new showrunner and Daryl taking over, I think we can expect something of a soft overhaul of his character.
