Okay, some folks aren’t physically dead, but they’re zombies of the soul. Morgan Jones discovered peace, then turned into a “clear everything” machine gun monk. Carol Peletier became a smiley assassin who kills people with cookies. Are they dead? No. Are they living? Depends on your definition of “living” when you’ve baked a dozen pies and a dozen bodies.
Daryl Dixon has survived every season, but he’s emotionally deceased. The man hasn’t smiled since season three, and his crossbow is his only therapist. He’s a walking corpse of masculinity—and we love him for it.
