‘The Walking Dead’ season 3 finale spoilers: Norman Reedus is ready to go

“The Walking Dead” season 3 finale is just about here, and there are really five words that we can use to describe it better than anything else: it’s going to get ugly. Just how ugly? Let’s just say that counting the bodies that fall (including the walkers) during the episode may not be a particularly easy task.

Let’s start things off here by sharing what has to be our favorite promotional photo from the finale, as it shows Norman Reedus’ Daryl Dixon somehow completely raring to go despite everything that happened to him last week in Merle. It’s not often that your brother actually dies twice, and we can’t imagine that this was a particularly easy thing for the character to go through. Nonetheless, there is not really much time to sit around and mourn outside of just wearing dark-colored clothing and being on a very cool motorcycle.

Although we know that there is going to be at least one important character who dies during this episode, we’re almost 100% positive that it won’t be Daryl. He is one of those people who really embodies the spirit of the show, and it would be beyond cruel for us to lose two Dixon brothers within the span of two weeks. By the same token, we’re probably not going to lose Rick since Andrew Lincoln is the lead, and we’d be personally surprised to lose either Glenn or Maggie given that these two are one of the only real glimmers of happiness within the entire show. (Maggie’s father Hershel is a much different story, since the man is already wounded to begin with.)

Reedus can also be seen tonight on “Talking Dead,” as he will there along with Chad Coleman (Tyreese) and “Community” star / TV uberfan Yvette Nicole Brown.
