What if they killed him off like they did Axle in the comics?
Quick and with nothing to say.... Boom headshot
Axle gets shot in the head??
As Season 3 is coming to an end, I'm starting to not mind whether Daryl dies or not. Look at how far the character has come, he's been an impact on the show and story that he'll be remembered no matter how many seasons are made - Although, I still hope he makes it past the prison because for some reason I see him dying at the hands of the Governor/Woodbury so he can be remembered alongside the Prison storyline...Me too.
For some reason I always want to see my favorite characters die in t.v., movies, or books.

The whole question of when / if Daryl is going to die is really kind of a stupid one.
There seem to be two general camps, the "Never kill Daryl ever!" group. Or the "Kill Daryl because I want to be seen as a unique outsider to everyone else."
The actual logical group to be in is a third group, where you view Daryl for what he is, whether you like him or not. He is the main fan favourite of a highly successful show, and therefor a very large revenue stream for both AMC, Robert Kirkman, and anyone else associated with The Walking Dead. Why does this matter? Because Daryl is worth money. T-Shirts with Daryl on it, bobbleheads, action figures, maybe a special "What Daryl is doing in the comic verse novel" that Kirkman could write (and would sell millions). Because Daryl is such a cash cow, he is very unlikely to die, at least not until someone will take his mantel. However, there is always that outside chance that they will off him for the proper literary reasons, but Daryl will never be a "Oh he just got bit!" like T-Dog, it will be a big 2-3 part ark and he'll have a very Hollywood-esque death, despite how against normal Walking Dead norms this is.
You also have to remember the show appeals to a more standard audience. Normal people are not willing to deal with character deaths as easily as diehard fans of an overall genre or fiction source. My brother and many of his friends watch the show but dont like any other comic books or zombie fiction. They all have Daryl Dixon t-shirts.
Carol and Beth in a safe place? Members of Tyreese's group are planning to take over as we speak. Lori and TDogg were both killed in the safe setting of the prison. Carol and Beth are protected by? an infant, a 13 year old boy, a one legged senior citizen, and a felon. The 13 year old is the best fighter. There is no safe place in the ZA.
Daryl does continually put his life at risk but he is also the best fighter in the group. Daryl is the Golden Goose, he can walk through a hail of bullets or a herd of zombies and he comes out unscathed.
...actually, that's a great thought. if Kirkman did a spin off comic, the Daryl and Merle show, if you take my meaning. It could be a completely seperate universe to the TV show, where they are just surviving together, and without the regular cast of characters, or with a different bunch. Would be pretty successful.
I think there are some characters that will not die for a long time. (to respond to a post above, Glenn being one of them.) The whole Daryl /Tyrese/Abraham triangle is going to be really hard to work out. It's one of those things that will just play out as it goes.
having said that, Abraham doesn't have to be in it at all.
Maggies a badass! She can stick up for herself, but I do agree about carol and bethI don't understand why a character like Daryl just HAS to die when a character like Carol needs to live on. A person like Daryl is someone who can survive in this world but for some reason everybody wants him to die. Im not one of those people who stop watching or "riot" if he dies but, I just don't find it believable that a badass can't survive but carol, Beth and Maggie can.
Shield yourself from those not bound to you by steel, for they are the blind. Aid them when you can, but lose not sight of yourself.
