The Walking Dead 1016: Daryl and Negan had a moment – Undead Walking

The world of The Walking Dead is full of complex relationships, and sometimes survival depends on choosing the lesser of two evils. When it comes to Daryl and Negan, they will likely never be friends but after killing Beta [somewhat] together in The Walking Dead season 10 finale they definitely had a moment.

When Negan told Daryl he couldnt join in the fight, he wasnt trying to back out of the battle. Negan knew full well Beta would be coming for him, probably more than anyone else, so why draw attention to himself? Though no one could be spared, Daryl probably saw some logic in his reasoning and didnt give Negans decision to stay behind a second thought because he had enough to worry about.

The moment of Betas death was interesting. Negan lured him, and Daryl delivered the blows that killed him. You could argue that Daryl couldnt have done it without Negan distracting him, and Negan couldnt have done it because hed already been knocked to the ground by the hulking Whisperer.

Once Beta was dead, Negan looked to Daryl and started to make a comment about Betas real identity but Daryl shut him down, because at the end of the day who Beta used to be doesnt matter anymore.

When all was said and done, though, the two men bonded. Negan had every opportunity to run away, but he didnt. He put himself in danger to help the group, and Daryl is the kind of person who understands that kind of commitment. They might not be friends, but they shared a moment that wont be forgotten between them. When lives are on the line, Daryl and Negan will act and will (probably) have each others backs.
