EvenDaryl'sspin-off shows only minimal changes: WhileDaryl'sweapons and allies might be different, those underlying qualities – the grizzled survival skills and fiercely loyal nature –remain completely consistent and continue to impact the story itself; despite showing changes.

A Long History of Captivity: Daryl's Trademark
Being captured? Old hat forDaryl!

The most crucial development however comes after that entire sequence of events that culminates withDaryl'scapture; emphasizing once more just whyDaryl'sactions never cease.
Think back: Season 3sawDarylkidnapped and fighting his brother.

He’s remained a mainstay from that very first appearance and these consistent appearances prove it further.
