They interviewed Michael Rooker on the Talking Dead last night. Normally I'm pretty meh about the show, but man is he an interesting guy. I noticed when a lot of actors talk about their characters, they talk about them as a 3rd person. Michael just kept saying "I" and "me" as if he really was Merle.
He said in "his" head, it was never a turn of conscience. He said he sorta had the plan to ambush the group the entire time. Storm the base like a beach front. Kill as many as he could and see if he could get out if alive. So likely he just used kidnapping Michonne as an out.
He also said everything he did was always for him and his brother. I believe he said "Durl and Murl... no.... Murl and Durl". Hahah
