Deserves An Emmy For His Final Epi --TWD

Love LOVE Michael Rooker.

He played the role of Merle brilliantly!

I'm going to miss him! Next to Daryl, Merle was my favorite character.
Yes, he was a bit of a jerk but he added layers to the character and made him interesting!
Everyone in Rick's group is Mr good guy and the show needed a Merle to shake things up!

I believe deep down Merle had a good soul, he just kept it buried. He & Daryl had a rough childhood and Merle never had anyone really care about him nor did he ever have anyone to care about, other than Daryl.

At least the writers gave him a great send off! I just wish he could've killed off the gov but I felt he redeemed himself.
Rooker was fantastic and deserves an Emmy for that episode! Out standing performance! The guy is amazing! He has awesome presence, when he's on screen I can't take my eyes off him.

I know he has other obligations but I sure wish he could've stayed for season 4.

RIP Merle, gonna miss ya!

We'll miss you on The Walking Dead Michael!!!
Bravo! Best wishes for continued success!!

"Did you see him on "Talking Dead" last night? He is even interesting in person!"

YES! Yes, I did see him on Talking Dead!
I was sooo happy he was the "special guest cast member", I was hoping it would be him.

I was crying from the scene with him & Reedus, it was emotional and I got 'lost in the moment' so real life Michael helped me come "back to reality."

It was really good- I miss him already.

Merle was such a bada$$ but had a good soul, deep down, when it counted.
