‘The Walking Dead’ season 4 spoilers: Norman Reedus and a bandanna

“The Walking Dead” to this point could have released approximately a billion photos of season 4 if they wanted to, and we are pretty sure that everyone would have been beyond excited.

However, the show is choosing instead to use something that could otherwise be known as “patience” to tease what is coming up ahead for the series … including the attached photo that we have for you here of Norman Reedus’ character of Daryl Dixon. This image was first uploaded by Entertainment Weekly, and it makes us feel like he is considering strongly taking on another career as an outlaw in a Western in addition to being one of “The Walking Dead’s” most-awesome characters.

What will transpire for Daryl early this season is going to largely be a by-product of where he is at emotionally. Things like Merle’s death have to stick with you for some time (if not forever), especially when you consider the way in which it happened here. In addition to that, some other characters will likely continue to involve him in their troubles, and everyone within Team Rick (if you want to call the prison camp that) have to deal with the possibility that the Governor is still out there somewhere, and they have to be prepared for him coming back and causing some more trouble for everyone.

What do you think about this photo, and is there anything that you are particularly excited to see from “The Walking Dead’s” fourth season? We want to hear more of your thoughts below! Meanwhile, be sure to click here to have yourself a quick tease of the story ahead courtesy of executive producer Scott M. Gimple. The new season of the hit show will premiere this October.
