Gifts for Team Delusional on Easter!
Okay so maybe Beth didn't show up in the finale of TOWL (spoiler) but thanks to Emilion Fqs, who attended the French comicon, took some videos, and shared them with us, we still have a LOT of hints to Beth's imminent return.
Like, this is downright ridiculous! 😱

The Ones Who Live - I'm Back + Intro!
youtube
Morning Everyone!
I'm sorry I've been gone so long. I posted a short intro video for you so we can get back into things as the first episode of TOWL drops tonight.
I'm so excited to get back into our beloved TWD world, even if we won't see much of Daryl here. I still have high hopes for Beth's return.
Go give this video a watch now, and then look for my episode breakdown tonight after this episode airs. I'll try to get to all your Asks as the week progresses.
Hooray for Rick and Michonne's love story!

TWD: Daryl Dixon: L'ame Perdu - Analysis
Okay everyone,
I did this as a video. But it took a REALLY long time to make and ended up being long. So, I'd appreciate some feedback. I may not always be able to do the video component. Are you guys good if it's just the audio, podcast style?
Also, would you prefer I broke it up into 10 or 15 minute chunks for easier listening? Or do you like the longer episode? Let me know!
And also what you think about the episode and the analysis, of course! 😉

The Dialogue That Sent A Ship Reeling And What It Might Mean for the Overall Story Arc
***Possible spoilers for future episodes****
@bookqueenrules:
So, I read a ton of reviews of season 1 before episode 1 aired. Many of the reviews were from “Carlyers”. I am always interested in seeing their perspective.  
They all seemed to agree on a few things.
First and foremost, they HATED Daryl’s response to Laurent in this exchange from episode 1:
 L: “Do you have children, a wife, parents?”
D: “No, nothing like that.”
Tumblr media
I believe this exchange at the beginning of the episode speaks VOLUMES about Daryl’s “happy ending”.  We see him think of Judith and Carol, the people he is closest to at home, as he is regaining consciousness.  However, soon after that he does not acknowledge Judith as “his child” nor does he acknowledge Carol as a type of “wife” or “life partner”. 
Tumblr media
This tells us that in Daryl and the writer’s minds Daryl has never been a father nor husband/life partner to anyone, yet. 
Being able to be a good husband and father after the abuse and trauma Daryl has experienced, I believe, will be his happy ending. 
Another thing they seem to hate is that by the end of the series, Daryl is torn as to whether he should stay with Laurent and Isabelle or keep trying to go home.  I assume that happens in episode 6 because a DEVOTED Carlyer said that was the hardest episode for her to watch.  Daryl being torn is more understandable when you see the parallels in Daryl’s mind: Isabelle is a platonic friend he becomes close to(Carol), and Laurent is a child that is not his, but that he feels responsible for because the parents are not around (Judith). Now, of course, we all know he will and should choose TF, but just the fact that he is torn should let the viewer know that Daryl still feels he is missing “something”.  Back to that in a minute.  I think it’s helpful to look at all of Daryl’s close relationships during the flagship to see why Daryl is still looking for “something”. That “something” is to belong to someone.
Tumblr media
Merle- Daryl did at one time “belong” to Merle. It was just the two of them.  Neither had other close family nor significant romantic partners or friends.  It was a dysfunctional type of belonging, but a “belonging” none the less.  Daryl believed he belonged with Merle.  In season 3, Daryl was torn between his new family(TF) and Merle. He did leave with Merle, but would have returned to TF even if he hadn’t convinced Merle to go back to the prison with him. So, he chose TF over Merle in the end. 
Tumblr media
Beth- Beth is the ONLY character that Daryl asks to settle down with him.  HE asks HER to stay at the funeral home and try to make a life.  He gives up looking for Rick, Carol, and the rest of TF. He feels he now BELONGS to Beth. This is an example of functional “belonging” because she restores his faith in himself and in the possibility of good in the world.  This is further emphasized in the “Buttons” episode where Daryl and Aaron are trying to save Buttons the horse.  Oh! Buttons the horse, Daryl’s highlighted button in the promo pictures, and the button on Beth’s necklace… Sorry, I just made that connection as I type!  Major symbolism there. I digress. In that episode, Daryl says of Buttons, “He once belonged to someone, but now he just belongs to himself.”  The implication being that the statement is true of both the horse and Daryl. 
Tumblr media
Rick- Rick becomes the better brother Merle never was. However, he can never really belong to Rick in the same way he did Merle because Rick has a family of his own and didn’t live through the same childhood trauma Merle and Daryl did. 
Tumblr media
Leah- Daryl is torn between belonging with her, TF, and searching for Rick.  He leaves even though she has issued an ultimatum. It’s only after she is “gone” that he says he belongs with her. I believe that indicates that Daryl really does want to belong to someone, but Leah is not the right one.  He knew it when he walked out on her.
Tumblr media
Carol has belonged to Zeke for a long time now. Even when they drifted apart, they drifted back together.  Before him, Carol belonged to herself drifting in and out of storylines fighting her need NOT to belong to anyone. She initiated romantic connections while Daryl was free and clear to form that kind of attachment with if she chose. Zeke is the one that showed Carol she could have her “happy ending” family after the dysfunction she experienced with Ed and Sophia. Though Henry didn’t live, Carol still had six years of a “happy ending”. 
After telling Judith he wouldn’t leave her, why does Daryl leave to explore? There were many others in Alexandria and Hilltop who could have gone.  So, Daryl must have WANTED to go. Judith seems to be OK with it because she connects it to his “happy ending”. Carlyers are interpreting Daryl’s call to the Commonwealth, presumably to Carol, about coming home in a week, as Daryl realizing his “mistake” and wanting to come home to his “happy ending” being Carol and Judith. If that were the case, he would have responded differently to Laurent’s question. 
The Carlyers all LOVED the last minute of the season(We can all guess that is when Carol shows)
They also agree that some of the themes are fatherhood, purpose, and belonging. Curiously, they don’t see the “happy ending” as a theme for the most part. It’s been pretty obvious, but few of them comment on it. I am assuming that episode 5 will be heavily related to the theme of fatherhood based on some vaguely worded reviews. 
  I wanted to mention a couple of other things that I don’t believe you discussed in the video. Forgive me if I just missed them.
Isabelle’s comment in the bath about scars showing you have healed.  I believe that is heavy foreshadowing for Daryl healing his scars from childhood.
Also, I don’t believe you mentioned the radio in the “map room”. Would that be another Sirius/radio connection? I thought it was interesting that Isabelle is caught in a lie about the radio. It is clear that Isabelle is willing to lie and manipulate to get what she wants.  She reminds me of Carol in that way.  She feels the ends justify the means for the greater good. She also reminds me of Carol in the sense that Daryl, Carol, and Isabelle are all characters who were “broken before the world ended”.  It was after the world ended that Beth broke for a moment, but all of these characters have proven they are survivors. It will be interesting to see that play out if/when they all meet. 
@twdmusicboxmystery​:
Love, love, LOVE everything you said here! And totally agree! It’s fun to know what the Carylers are saying.
Honestly, I hadn’t thought much about Daryl’s reply about not having a wife and kids. And great call about the foreshadowing there. It’s clear that he’ll have them eventually, and we all know it won’t be with Carol. 
Honestly, I think the reason he’ll be so torn will be Laurent, rather than Isabelle. I was thinking as I read what you wrote is that part of the reason he was willing to leave Judith was 
1) she doesn’t truly need him anymore. She’s okay with him going, which means she a happy, healthy, well-adjusted kid. He still loves and wants to be with her, but if someone else is depending on him as a lifeline physically or emotionally, well, he’s going to stay for as long as they need him. And Judith is such a badass all by herself, that she doesn’t necessarily. 
2) It’s also true that he doesn’t see her as truly “his” and if there’s any chance her real dad (Rick, although biologically that’s a can of worms, lol) is still out there, he wants to bring Rick home to her. So, once again, it’s Daryl doing something for someone else, rather than himself. Which is why Judith says the thing about the happy ending to begin with. She recognizes that he deserves to think about his own happiness every once in awhile, rather than everyone else’s. 
Anyway, I’m actually excited to see the part where he’s torn about staying or going. It plays into Daryl’s changing his mind/what changed your mind theme, which started with Beth and has been constantly in play since S4. 
Isabelle reminds me a lot of Leah. Not in her personality or toxicity, of course. But in the sense that she’s an interesting blend of Carol and Beth. I already like her relationship with Daryl and I can see them becoming close friends. People say Clemence Posey’s performance here is really amazing. Up there with Norman’s. So I’m excited to see more of both of them.
Thanks so much for the post! Absolutely love it! 
Oh, and yes, the radio is a Sirius symbol. Because Sirius Radio XM. It’s also part of the Communication Theme. 
Thanks Dear!

The Ones Who Live episode 5
*Spoilers* Beth Greene's painting is shown. Someone does step in a trap. We do have Rick and Michonne drinking in a cabin.
I love this episode. It's a Rick, Michonne and Jadis episode. It really is good.

Second day at the France comic con
So I am currently watching this and I wanted to post it for others to analyze to.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9VZ_GajxglM&t=10s&pp=ygUURW1pbHkga2lubmV5IGZyYW5jZSA%3D
She's talking about side gigs. She says sometimes when I'm bored I have thought about getting a job like the coffee shop. I'm paraphrasing here. However she says I like to be apart of something big. Then she mentions how she felt on twd. To me it seems like the way she is wording this is like she was on a break, like we all assume she is. I can't be the only one who hears something here. could be nothing just wanted to share😍

DD season 2
Sneak peak. My first impressions is that Daryl and his crew know that Genet has taken someone Daryl wants back. Could it be Isabel or Laurent or Carol or someone else. Isabel and Laurent do not appear to be with Daryl at this time. They know what road they plan of taking and Daryl has set up a trap with some sort of trip wire and it did not go off. The one guy says let's turn back it didn't work but Daryl is not having that because he wants who Genet has. That's why Daryl is showing no mercy to the people with Genet. My first thoughts was deleted scene from coda. Rick says if this goes wrong we kill everyone. When Daryl looks into the back of the truck there is no look of relief so we do not know if whomever he wanted back was there. To me it's giving Grady/Coda vibes. As for the Carol part when she goes to the mechanic shop type place. We see the man with Daryls crossbow which reminds me of terminus when the person had on Daryls poncho. Then Carol ask about a transmission. Transmission is interesting since we have had so many "stick shift" mentions with TOWL and season 1 DD. My prediction is the first scene is something we will not see until later in the season. I'm not sure how Genet will survive that with her army dead. I feel like the writers want you to assume this is the point in the season where Daryl will first see Carol. With her being in the back of that truck but I'm not sure. Could be someone else. Very excited to watch and see.

TOWL episode 6
So I know a lot of people are disappointed to not see Beth but I am not. Imo TOWL was always going to be about Rick and Michonne with more explanation of the CRM. To throw Beth's return in this would have taken away from the story they were trying to tell. The love story between Rick and Michonne and returning back to their kids was beautifully written and I loved every bit of it. I can see why Beth's return in a 6 episode series with all the story the writers needed to tell about Rick and Michonne did not happen. However if Rick/Michonne are parallels to Beth/Daryl or Rick/Beth parallels it just makes more sense to have her show up in DD. However I felt like the last few minutes in TOWL episode 6 were very important. It says that they have let people leave and they are free to go. So what if that was supposed to be about Beth. What if now she's free to go. That would make sense to me. We needed this CRM back story to understand where Beth was and how she was able to leave when she does appear on the DD show. That's just my opinion ♥️
Happy Easter friends.
