Revive And Safeguard: Season 4 Edition.

Season 4 has been around long enough now to warrant this thread, I think.

If you remember my season 3 edition of this thread, you'll know what the idea is.

If you could revive one character, which character would it be?

If you could safeguard one character, so that they'll never die, who would it be?

If you revive a character, they're obviously not dead anymore. However, they could still die in a future episode, so you can always revive and safeguard the same character.

As for me, I'd revive Axel. So much wasted potential there... It's such a pity considering comic Axel was around for much longer.

For safeguarding, I'm not sure whether I want to safeguard Abraham (My favourite character from the comics) or my sexy waifu Sasha.

I think I'll go with Abraham, because if Sasha dies I can always look at pictures of her online to make me feel happy. (And a little bit aroused)

Anyways, begin with the posting in three, two, one... GO!!!

Brian Heriot.

If I could revive a character, I would choose Hershel, for he was like a mentor and father for the whole group. However, I cannot see him limping around in the wilderness after the prison fell, and he seemed to have taught Rick in his morality as evidenced in "Too Far Gone" . If I could safeguard one character, I would choose Beth. Not because I like her singing, but she seems to be the only member of the group that retain some innocence, she seems to be the only female on the show that doesn't act like being tough and strong like all other female characters (Maggie, Michonne, Sasha, Carol, Tara, Rosita). I am aware that that could make Beth too weak to survive in a ZA, and the odds are against her survival, but somehow I hope she survives anyway. But then she need to be a little smarter than she was in last episode, risking her life for having a little booze.

Brian Heriot.

The original Brian Heriot, not the one who stole his name. 

I'd revive Amy

Safeguard: Rosita

Revive:

Milton.   There's no other character on the show like him.   A vulnerable, sheltered man who never had to deal with "surviving" like the rest.   I think Milton's growth into being a valuable member of the Prison group (after switching sides, of course) would be an interesting arc.   He would be Eugene without the smartass-ness and mullet.

Safeguard:

Tara.   She has been sheltered with her sister, niece, and dad since the beginning of the ZA until the Governor came around.   Now, for the first time, she is having to use her (somewhat rudimentary) police skills to survive.   She brings a fresh perspective to what everyone else has been facing daily.    Remember, in TWD time, she just learned a couple weeks ago that the walkers had to be shot in the head!

Revive - Andrea

Safeguard - Tyreese

Beth and Daryl.......Walking Dead's pioneer medieval couple....the rest...well sorry but you're on your own

Definitely safeguard Beth. I like it that she's kept most of her innocence in such a cruel world she lives in. I feel like she deserves to be safeguarded because it's so rare to find people like her still alive up to this point of the apocalypse. And she is cute

Revive Merle I guess. He was funny, and I like all the conflict that he brings just by being around.

Revive: Brian Heroit/Philip/Gov/ - The new 2.0 Version  & Safekeep : Abraham - I'm really liking & digging him.

 Last post. Oopsy.  Revive: Brian Heriot  & Safeguard: Abraham: I'm really liking and digging him. ( I like Michael Cudlitz)

I almost want to say the revive the Gov because I absolutely love the shows version of him, but I think he exited at just the right time so...hmmm

Revive- T-dog. I dunno, kinda miss havin him around lol

Safeguard-uhhh Bob I guess. I have a feeling he's gonna bite it soon, but  I feel like that'd be a waste of a character and a good actor.

Revive Shane

Safeguard Daryl

Revive Andrea so they can fix her reputation before she dies again, I really liked that character.

Safeguard Beth because

Definitely safeguard Beth. I like it that she's kept most of her innocence in such a cruel world she lives in. I feel like she deserves to be safeguarded because it's so rare to find people like her still alive up to this point of the apocalypse. And she is cute

 

Revive Merle I guess. He was funny, and I like all the conflict that he brings just by being around.

Hah, yeah. Merle just has to stand in the room and everyone gets pissed off! I wish he hadn't died.

Revive Andrea

Safeguard Maggie. I don't like all the rumors I'm hearing.

Revive Merle.  He amused me. And he would have been useful. He always left me wanting more...more backstory, more insight into his motives etc.   Given time he could have evolved a bit.  I wouldn't want him completely domesticated though. 

Safeguard Carl.  Now that everyone can see what a true psychopath is (I'm looking at you Lizzie!), I hope to win more over to my "Carl is actually pretty well adjusted for a ZA teen survivor" viewpoint.  I want to see what the new normal is for a kid growing up in this mess.

Revive Shane. Without Lori in the picture I think he and Rick could co-exist and be buddies again. Shane was a big part of the show's success for two seasons.

 

So, is this Shane, not trying to kill Rick, and he makes it to the prison, Lori dies and leaves Judith, still getting along buddies/number 2 man Shane? That kinda Shane?

Be interesting. 

I'm also in the Milton revival camp. He could in later episodes be shown as the "narrator" of Rick's story at the end of the show. 

Revive: Merle

Safeguard: Daryl

I like the Dixons and would have liked to see them interact more then just half a season.

Revive: It's a toss up between Andrea and Merle.

I'd love to see Andrea back, if they could give us comic book Andrea instead of the mess that we got in season three. It's such a shame, because in those few episodes where she was allowed to shine, Laurie Holden showed that she was perfectly capable of portraying the comic book version of Andrea.

I also love Merle and think Michael Rooker rocks. So much potential was wasted by killing him off, and we didn't even get to see how his death affected Daryl. It was just glossed over. I miss rowdy, unruly Merle and all the trouble and tension he could cause. I always thought there was some decency lurking under the surface and was intrigued to see Merle at war with his own conscience as well as everyone around him.

Safeguard: It's a toss up between Judith and Lizzie's sister.

With Lizzie around, those kids could use all the safeguarding they can get.
