The Walking Dead Season 6: 15 WTF Moments From 'East'

7. Angry Daryl

It feels like an age since we last see it, but East finally gave us an angry, edgy Daryl Dixon. And it was great€ well, apart from that it totally, totally got himself and others into trouble. But, I digress.

When we first saw Daryl, he was a ball of rage who was largely out for himself and brother Merle. Over the years, though, he€™s softened a little. Sure, he€™s still a badass when called into action, but he€™s not got quite as many chips on his shoulders nowadays and he rarely goes out looking for trouble.

With East, though, that all changed. Mightily pissed off at what happened to Denise, that she was killed by his own crossbow which was fired by a man he let live, Daryl is out for some cold-blooded revenge, and it made for some great TV.
