SDCC DARYL DIXON: THE BOOK OF CAROL TRAILER

“Some bonds have no borders.”

[darylscigarettesmoke]

Notes for 2x05

just watched the episode and…. Spoilers/Thoughts below. Beware.

- I just can’t stand how Daryl talks in this season. His tone is always so flat, so casual almost, so nonchalant. Especially with Carol. His voice’s always been soft and warm, now it’s like you can’t get through to him. He talks like nobody’s home. I miss his flagship-show voice. The flagship-show Daryl would never come along and flatout ask if someone has “the hots” for another person. I don’t interpret that as him being “jealous” of Ash, it just striked me as kinda disrespectful He’s icecold.

- Daryl is now canonically shit with a rubik’s cube and honestly I can relate.

- “She loved you. She told me.” With all due respect Laurent, but shut the hell up. Read the room. Daryl’s silence after Laurents babbling is hard to read again. I need subtitles for this man, and this man only. Even though I can’t speak any french word anymore besides the basics, I understand this language better than what is going on with Daryl. He looks guilty in this scene. And broken. But of course he doesn’t answer Laurent. Doesn’t say “me too.” Laurent is sweet and means well, but it’s so frustrating to watch how everyone’s putting a bee into Daryl’s bonnet since season 1 😩

- “I should stay here and you should go back to where you belong. That’s what you always wanted” - yes please. Laurent is happy in France, feels at peace??? Goddamn Daryl can’t catch a break and I am catching feelings again. Laurent the sweet boy just told Daryl off LMAO

- I don’t understand why Laurent/Isabell talk with a british accent I mean I’m german I have no clue about accents but I know a french one when I hear it

- the same old sophia barn flashback scene is getting old and pretentious sorry carol

- “and now you’re replaying every decision, thinking about what you could’ve done differently” aaaaand the old survivor’s guilt is back. We’ve seen that before. “It’s a pretty long list” Daryl says and yes it is - and they put Isabelle on top. Like he doesn’t have so many other death’s weighing heavy on him. My poor baby boy. It’s not your fault.

- Daryl in the night club I am OVULATING again. GODDAMN this man has me wrapped around his thick ass finger goodbye and ofc they’re singing lady marmelade LOL voulez vous coucher avec moi? Non, mais avec Monsieur Daryl

- laurent should find another dad in codron they even speak the same language

- they found daryl’s audio recorder laying around … just like that? Where are we, in a soap opera?

- lousang is just a far cry villain at this point and nobody can convince me otherwise

- Daryl leaves Carol alone a lot in this episode. She feels so unimportant idk

- “Everybody I love is gone, fucking except for you!” Ring a bell? Yeah, they fucking pulled an Ellie from The Last of Us again. I’m so tired. So, so tired.

- Ash calls Carol out and it’s great and he’s so right, Manish acts his soul out

- yup I think Ash is gonna be the next dad for Laurent

anyway heres a pic from my chubby babycat to calm the nerves 🩷

He never stopped trying to get home to her.

The Book of Carol: 2x04

[hisdahlia]

the more i go on with this season, the more of a … clunky attempt at a second season it becomes. i do not find myself happy nor necessarily dreading another episode, but, it’s hard to make out what it is they are trying to do with daryl. he is experiencing some sort of development of some form, but it only seems circumstantial to me.

it doesn’t seem like something that will stick with him when he finally finds his way home, IF he finds his way home at this rate with how many hiccups there are in his road.

his reunion with carol, that devotion to that woman has just been eradicated. they do not feel like best friends, they do not feel like the carol and daryl that we know. their relationship and how much they mean to one another felt so undermined and this is absolutely incredulous. it was underwhelming and carelessly dealt with.

so, i’m stuck wondering, what happened?

Daryl and Carol’s reunifications are always so good 😭😭

I hate to be wishing for a character's death, especially one who had the potential to be a strong female character. But. Clémence Poésy's imdb says she's only credited in episode 1 of season 2. That's probably wrong bc people have already seen the first episode and I feel like we'd have heard if she'd died in it, and also we know the actor is in the last episode. But it gives me the tiniest hope that they won't spend all season building up Darabelle.

Ps. Sad that this is sort of my first more serious post on here. Just feel so moody today after all that's been popping off 😂

!!! POTENTIAL SPOILERS BELOW !!!

“Go! Go!” You yell to Carol, waving her off, “I got these three!”

She nods, running off into the building. You let out a grunt as you kick the one walker back, stabbing the other with your knife.

The third comes up and you duck, spinning around to knock its leg out from under it, finish it off with your knife to its skull.

The third one falls to the ground, dead, and you take off running in the direction Carol ran.

“Hey, hey we gotta-“ you freeze in your tracks, seeing Daryl standing there was a shock. You almost felt like you were hallucinating, “W-wha-“

Daryl steps away from Carol and meets you halfway.

You fall into the embrace you never thought you’d feel again, but this moment right here, right now, is what made you happy as hell that you held onto that little sliver of hope.

“What are ya’doin’ here?” Daryl leans back, cupping your face with his hands as he sniffles, “Oh my god.” He pulls you back in, “Are y’good?”

He leans back out to examine the gash on your cheek but you swat his hands away, “I should be askin’ you that.” You reach up, running your thumb gently over his beat up face, “I knew you were still alive.”

“Yeah, yeah, m’still kickin’.” He shakes his head, quickly turning his attention to the gunshots growing closer, “C’mon.”

He looks back at Carol while giving your hand a squeeze, “We gotta move. Now.”

Here’s a kiss for likin’ and rebloggin’💋

[darylscigarettesmoke]

A kid, believed to be immune to the virus by his caretakers and a fanatic group? A father figure who tries to stop the experiments on the kid, at the expense of (maybe) the world?

I think I’ve seen this film before. And I didn’t like the ending.

Nothing about Laurents story feels remotely original. Nothing is new, nothing is exciting. His birth story is a total copy. It’s cool that the spin-off toys with the idea of immunity and I’m looking forward to the resolution of this, but c’mon. Daryl’s spin-off should’ve come with an original story, that fits to his character perfectly and not some copy. He would’ve deserved it.

Whatever. The negativity about the spin-off lately threatens to overwhelm me. I don’t wanna lose Daryl, a character that I hold so dear to my heart. At least we still have him - somewhere, out there, burried under a little rubbish. But I tune in for Father Daryl 🫡 ❤️

Actually, ‘people get upset’ because romantic potential between Carol & Daryl has long been used as a plot device, or a way to exploit and manipulate a portion of the audience, or in the case of The Book of Carol, as a complete marketing misdirection. You want a happy audience, pick a narrative direction and commit to it 100%. Carol & Daryl aren't wishy-washy characters so why should their relationship story be any different?

[hisdahlia]

very emotionally fragile man shares a kiss with a woman he’s barely known. of course people are going to be absolutely appalled, shocked, beside themselves. we’re talking about daryl dixon that took just short of a dozen seasons to say i love you to one person. misery adores my company ever since this broke out.

The Book of Carol: 2x04

They are so funny. And I love that everyone think they are in love, even if they think Carol is someone else. The fact that they still think that by watching them interact, says a lot.

[freefromthecocoon]

They will never know what they mean to me.
