In the entire TWD series (not including spinoffs), I don't think they showed Daryl making arrows out of wood/sticks ever, except for that one scene where, after they discover Sophia in the barn, Rick leaves to find Hershel and Lori goes to Daryl to ask him to bring them back, we see Daryl whittling down sticks into makeshift arrows for his crossbow.

But after that one scene, he is never seen using those arrows or ever making any more. And even if he goes back to get the arrows already shot into walkers, that really can't amount to much, and definitely not for the entire show.

So how is it that every time he's on screen, he always has a full set of manufactured arrows on him. I know he could always find more when scavenging, but for how long?

(1.) Steven Yeun still have met the same fate in the show?

(2.) How much would it have positively and/or negatively affected the character in the show?

I feel like Merle could've been a very valuable asset with his ruthlessness and brutality but I wonder if he'd clash or get along well with these factions. What are your thoughts?

It’s not a hot take to think Beth’s death is the stupidest in the whole show only second to Carls right? Watching someone react to the show and they just got to her last episode. Just wanted to confirm for myself that others felt this death was really out of nowhere. I definitely thought so when watching this show for the first time.

Also I feel like the police/hospital people come out of nowhere and aren’t developed enough to warrant a big character death.

Like, would the doctor try to analyze his transformation, having a fresh subject? He seemed to be into something until his latest sample was destroyed when he spilled that chemical on the flesh.

We often talk about Carl, Beth or Glenn. But Tyreese's death broke me. His sendoff episode was a great one. I've just rewatched it and it just hits me in the feels. It was such a great representation of his PTSD. A few episodes earlier, Tyreese & Rick are burying Bob outside the church and Rick asks Tyreese what happened to him on his way to Terminus, to which Tyreese replies "It killed me". Rick says "No, it didn't".

Tyreese had seen too much, and he was quite sensitive. But I truly think it could've been a strength if he made it. I really love 5x09, but I'm wondering : "what if he lived through this ?". Him adaptating to a new life without his arm, but it could've worked since they find Alexandria not too long after.

I would've liked to see him dealing with Negan. Witnessing Glenn dying. Fighting in the war after Sasha's sacrifice. Would he be willing to join Rick on the "mercy" philosophy or would he side with Daryl & Maggie on the Negan situation ?

Him fighting Beta would've also been so cool. Being there for Carol after she lost Henry. Being brought back to their shared trauma of Lizzie & Mika. Watching over Judith again after Michonne's departure. Then when Maggie gets back, the whole Negan-Maggie angle could be a nice reflection on Tyreese's history with Carol (even though both situations had very different circumstances).

In the end, what hits me the most is that both Sasha & Tyreese kinda "gave up" in the end
