Oh I love talking to TWD fans, but I'm going to have to disagree with you a little bit. I think Daryl has become a much more interesting character- yes, he has lost the bristly hillbilly badassness, but that only made him one dimensional. The show has established a true character arc, explaining the reason why Daryl behaved the way he did- hinting at his childhood abuse, his relationship with his brother and family, the reasons why he related to Carol- all and all, they've made him into a more human character, while preserving his zombie killing awesomeness!
I do agree they are progressing his character in perhaps a realistic way, although not all realism is entertaining. I do think that although as he has developed through the story that his wys would change being depended on a lot more, but I don't think that would wash away almost all, if not all, of his initial persona.
Daryl was one of my favorites, however he has changed, which may make his story more of a change for the better, but his character itself go down a bit.
I still would of prefered it if Shane or Merle stayed alive in exchange for Daryl, though. Would of made an interesting change completely.
