I like him as a character. I don't really have favourites as it's a zombie show so I never really got attached to any of them. So long as they are involved in well set up situations then I'm okay with any of them dying. If anything I'm more sorry about good characters being introduced just to be killed off (Carter) rather than long-running characters dying.
I do like that actor in the Morgan role though. He was fantastic when first introduced right back in episode 1 or 2 or whenever it was and I'm glad he's came back into the story. I really rate him as an actor. Problem with the character is that he just doesn't seem to have long term survival prospects with his current attitude. I can only assume he went crazy when his son died and killed a lot of people and now his guilt has made him totally against killing, no matter what, otherwise he thinks he'll descend into barbarism again. For drama's sake, I can only see him ending up in situations where his non-violence will be tested and will eventually prove his undoing. The show seems to go that ironic route a lot of the time. Characters dying due to their choices and outlooks. So I expect it will come back and bite him if he doesn't adjust.
Another thing I think the Morgan character is good at is the psychological stuff with Carol. I don't think most of the other characters are shrewd enough to be in a scene like that where Morgan is letting Carol subtly know that he knows she isn't the sweet, defenceless person she is trying to portray.
As you can see - I like the character and am looking forward to the next episode. I think there might be a shock or two when we see Morgan's past.
