Were Merles antics on the roof in Atlanta simple foolishness or was he trying to draw even more walkers to kill the folks below him in the building? That would have cut the group by a third and weakened them considerably. And Merle's cocky enough that he probably thought he could escape and return on his own.
Will this knowledge put Rick even further over the edge when it comes to trusting future people who want to join the group?
Will it change anyone in the group's attitude towards Daryl or will they still recognize how far he's come and just hate Merle more for it?

Gonna put money down that neither brother will say anything about their earlier intentions so they won't get kicked out. If they do say something, they are as good as gone (at least Merle) because Rick is pretty upset on who he trusts currently.
Good point. Merle's not so good at not spouting off, especially when he feels vulnerable so I'm 50/50 on him blurting it out.

ETA: I am more likely to think that it will never be brought up again. I think it was mainly just to show Daryl's growth while Merle has remained stagnant.

So, last episode, we found out that originally Daryl and Merle were going to pillage the quarry group. That brings to mind a couple of questions.

I dont know if it will be brought up anytime soon but i think Merles actions on the roof were part of the plan to rob the group. He got physical, started pointing his gun around an declared himself "leader". I could totally see him going back to the camp an holding people at gun point while looting the camp with Daryl! I dont think he was trying to bring in walkers to kill everybody in the building tho, that makes it just as hard for him to get away as it does the others an he has just as much of a chance of dying too (although im sure he wouldnt of given a shit if some or all died on the way back to the quarry!! Lol)

Some conversations should stay private and some secrets buried forever. The Dixon brothers both know that from long experience. The dialogue was written for OUR benefit and not inevitably for Rick's group to find out. As mentioned it was roughly (by the show's time line) a year ago and a LOT has changed since then. Especially Daryl. Merle on the other hand I think has just gotten smarter as far as the survival aspects of the world they live in. He's learned from Woodbury the value of a secure place, groups of people capable of fighting.
True, DC. I sometimes think we underestimate the ways in which Merle has changed while focusing on Daryl's transformation. Not that Merle has become an angel by any stretch but he has gained wisdom. Now, if we could just teach him basic human decency and respect, he'd be tolerable. I just don't see that happening unless Herschel somehow performs a miracle. And that's about as likely as finding a 'cure' for zombies.

It doesnt mean an attack on Ricks personal trust or friendship with Daryl couse it was planned before Ricks arrival to Atlanta.

Should the group find out, it'd just be another reason to not trust Merle and to trust Daryl more. However, potential new additions to the group (Tyreese, Sasha, Allen and Ben) may be a bit wary of Merle and even Daryl if they came to this knowledge. I'd be a bit skeptical in that position.
Alternatively, you could also just call me Soiled_Panties, on account of how pissy I can be.

That being said, I would really love to see a flashback of how Daryl and Merle joined up with the group outside Atlanta. I HIGHLY doubt that will happen, but it would be cool.

I could see Merle bringing it up if Rick was kicking him out and Daryl wasn't going to go with him. He may hope that Rick would throw Daryl out with him, or at the very least create a rift between them.
Doubt that will happen because of a short clip that showed Daryl and Merle in the Prison.
Just my 2 cents though.

Along the lines with Carol, I could very well imagine Ed trying to hook up with the Dixon brothers if he found out. And of course, Carol and Sophia would have no choice but to take heist with Ed, Daryl and Merle.
I had never considered that but I totally agree that Ed would have wanted to be a part of it. Don't know if the old Daryl and Merle would want the baggage a woman, child and obese man would bring but it's interesting to think about. Also, since they were abused as kids, do you think they would look kindly on Ed's abusive actions? Still, interesting point.
