The Walking Dead Season 6: 10 Things Episode 15 Got Right

Look, it was a shocking moment at the time, but within a minute or so, the world was back to normal and the Daryl fake-out fell flat. Why 'fake-out'? Well, quite simply because that's what happened. If Daryl Dixon was killed in that split second, I'll take that all back and declare the moment masterful, but come on, he's alive.

Yes, that's a negative, and while Daryl's 'death' is all people will talk about until the finale has aired, it simply doesn't mean his time is up. However, underneath the hype and the leather, Norman Reedus is shining.

He finds himself in a similar situation to Andrew Lincoln. The pair are obviously two of the longest-serving characters in the show, and maybe because of that, fans take their acting skills for granted. Daryl is a cool character, but that's only made possible thanks to the genius of Norman Reedus. He produced another fantastic episode in 'East', with an edgy, unnerved performance. Let's hope he turns in a fantastic, ALIVE finale.
