The Walking Dead Will Keep on Walking
 |
?With only two episodes aired, AMC has gone ahead and renewed The Walking Dead for a second season. This is good news, because The Walking Dead is pretty great — the second season will be for 13 episodes, unlike this season’s seven, so that’s groovy as well. This means Rick and his horse can sit down and rest for a bit, I guess.
I’m seeing a lot of nerd divisiveness on The Walking Dead, so we might as well have this conversation now. What do you guys think? How do you think it compares to the comic? I loved the premiere, although I don’t think the second episode was as good — it seemed much more like your basic, traditional zombie movie to me. But my excitement for the show certainly hasn’t diminished. You? (Via Newsarama)
