yes yes yes yes, that episode was MADE of PURE AWESOME
I also LOVE this Daryl. We've seen before that he's on a journey to being a decent person, like when he went off with Merle but then decided that he wasn't that guy anymore, couldn't run away from his *family*, even if Merle was his blood. But Beth, yeah, OMG, she's like this hill that he's just racing down, not sure where it's going to take him, but loving the ride, loving that it's taking him away from the past that he wants to get away from, and it looks like he finally has. Burning that house down was freakin' CATHARTIC for him, and
ok, now I'm babbling
and I think what he's got with Beth is more of a kid-sister thing, but he likes that, since all he ever had was this dumbass jerk of a big brother who didn't do anything but lead him into more trouble or run away when he needed protection from their father. But I think kid-sister/big-brother is ADORABLE, and yes yes, please, I can't wait to see how he plays it with the trogs because like you, I KNOW he's just playing along to see where it will get him and will take off/turn on them the first chance he can. and that will be RIGHTEOUS to see :)
Yes, and the fics! OMG I have SO MANY fics running through my head from the last 3 episodes with him and Beth and yes, I can't even get my head around how awesome this is.
And yes, because I'm a Carol/Daryl shipper, I CANNOT wait for them to be reunited, for it to be this cool thing where HE'S now going to be HER redemption, he's going to have to be the one who pulls her back from the edge and says, 'you can't be that person, it's not good for you'.
and only THREE MORE??!!!! AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH.

And I also have to admit -- I hadn't even considered Daryl being, like, the light for Carol in all this. And man, I would HATE that. I mean, part of that is that I am just at the point with Carol where I was with Andrea in S3 -- like I just want her dead. (Sorry, Carol fans.) But most of it is that I don't want his journey -- and by extension, Beth's -- tied up in Carol's story. I think it's HIS story, and he's so very at the beginning of it. He's still processing everything, figuring out what he feels, how he wants to live. Realizing that he DOES want to live, and not just survive. I feel like it'd be far too soon for him to be able to share what he's processing with someone else.
And also -- I don't want forgiveness for murder. I don't want her redemption. I want the realization that there ARE some things that you cannot come back from, that there IS a line that cannot be crossed, and that murdering innocent people is it. I think there's no edge to draw her back from, because she already willingly leaped over that edge.
But that's me. And I'm supremely anxious as to how all this is going to play out.
LET'S JUST ENJOY THE SQUEE. (And also, the fic that we should both be writing!)
*hugs*
