Bethyl Quotes Masterblog

I have decided to leave the blog open for a while. I think it's nice to have a reminder of Emily and Norman's insights on Daryl and Beth's relationship, and although the producers' comments feel extremely emotionally manipulative towards the audience, they were done, so I suppose they need to be there, as well. 

I think he would do anything to get them back. He's trying to be careful because of the situation but there are no lengths he wouldn't go to. He's always been like that, even with Sophia. He went the extra mile and Rick saying, "Wait for us, we'll make a plan" and Daryl says he's better off on his own. You can't really stop him. When the group needed baby formula, he just went for it. He's balls out on everything and that also goes with matters of the heart. When he feels things, he really feels them.

Daryl is thinking, "What's it going to take?" He doesn't want anything to happen to Beth, so if he can avoid bullets flying back and forth and get her out of there, that's his first option. Daryl in seasons one, two and three would have just gone in there and burned the whole building down and taken the bodies out. But now he's thinking and doesn't want to lose Beth or get hit by a stray bullet or caught in the crossfire.

Beth has meant a lot to Daryl. It wasn't so much lovey-dovey feelings; she had hope in her. Hope in anyone is hard to find in this world. He thought, "Hell, we could live in this house together and maybe things can be good. I know we're going to have to leave this house at some point but let's hold on to this for a second." If he had butterflies in his stomach, I don't think he understood what those were but he was down to feel those butterflies. She means a lot to him.

Life isn't just about surviving, it's about love and experiences and connecting with other people, and art and music. I do think you see the characters just starving for that. We're not just animals surviving in this apocalypse, we're human beings trying to make sense of our lives and to have some sort of purpose and enjoyment, and love is one of the biggest ways to feel connected to life and to feel like your time means something. I think it's cool that people see that, and who knows what will happen. It's the fun of the chase, the unknowns of what could happen next. It's cool when people care so much about the characters that they do want to see them in love and they do want to see them do fun things besides just survive.

We don't even know what condition she was in when we last saw her but Beth is strong and a survivor. She's going to be in pretty good shape.
