Well thats a bit of a shocking kick in the nuts. Youre there, casually minding your own business and playing with a severed head, and then the next minute you have your throat slit in a sneak attack. This was a shocking WTF moment, and it involved Daryl creeping up and slitting the throat of one of Negans guards. It was a bloody, brutal move out of nowhere, and it was one that set a carnage-filled plan of attack into action. This was Daryl at his most hands-on and clinical, something that weve not see as much over recent seasons as the character has mellowed out a little in comparison to the rogue we saw when we first met him all those years ago.
