People give this show ____ for character development, or maybe even just developing characters into people you dislike.
But how Daryl and Herschel grew in the show have been fantastic. I thought nothing of Daryl at first; I figured he'd be white trash who constantly fought with T-Dog. But his character has grown, truly surprisingly to me, into one of the absolute best (if not the best) characters on the show. He's got an amazing independence, but also has strong loyalty when it comes time for it. Also the way she dealt with the Walker in the RV was nice too.
Herschel started off like a willfully ignorant, but nice enough, fool. His steady acceptance of what is now his reality has felt like a natural progression.
And I've liked Rick's growth as well. It's gone from being a good leader and survivor due to his job skills, to adapting his personality to what's needed to survive. I thought he could have handled the last speech a little more diplomatically, but at the same time - ____ it. Obviously, he's fed up with having his decisions questioned, whether they were right or wrong.
