What an ‘expected’ shocker it was
watching the start of the second half of Season 5 of AMC’s TWD. I’ve been
building up the expectations by reading countless rumours and hints dropped by
the AMC team on the rest of Season 5. I’ve always anticipated that a major
character was gonna be given the boot but my prediction was off. I never
expected Tyreese to exit the show so soon even though his character kicked the
bucket a long time ago in Kirkman’s comic pages.
A lot of speculations have been
brewing in the cyberworld as to why the producers decided to end Tyreese’s
involvement in the TV series but the best (and most logical) explanation came
from the very actor who played Tyreese himself, Chad Coleman. Coleman went on
to explain his theory (and by Kirkman’s beard he is right!) that technically
both Tyreese and Daryl can’t appear concurrently in AMC’s TWD series. You see,
in the comics, Tyreese is rick’s right-hand man while Daryl, who was created
specifically for the TV series, seems to be holding on to that title in AMC’s
show. So there’s the sad truth about Episode 9 for ya.
I dig Daryl’s bad-a** attitude
and what he adds to Rick’s gang but I personally didn’t want to see the muscle
of the gang to exit so soon.
You will be missed Tyreese.
