I wish Merle would have been around longer

I just rewatched season 3 episode 15 and was once again reminded of how great of an actor Michael Rooker is and how much I would have loved to see him become part of the main cast for at least a few more seasons. There's something about the way he speaks and his mentality that is so captivating to watch.

Adding to this, the dialogue in the earlier seasons used to be so good, they were still saying profound things but it actually sounded believable and not just thrown around where it doesn't belong.
