Initial Thoughts – I originally
thought that this series was okay but since I had seen so many zombie
films, I felt it gave us nothing original. These thoughts vanished
by the second season and now it is one of my favorite shows on TV. I
was wondering how it was going to be with lots more people including
children but the show continues to change and alter just enough to
keep us wondering what is going to happen next. I have stayed away
from the comics.
The Plot – At times it seems this
show can be slow but this pacing pays off when all hell breaks loose.
This season I felt was all a lead up to the return confrontation
with the Governor and everything else was just filler. The build up
was perfect and now it will be interesting to see what happens next.
I hope the prison is gone
for good, it is time for a new setting.
The Highlights – This show is not
afraid to kill off characters. It is also not afraid to develop
characters, sometimes changing them drastically. The show also loves
to give us hope and quickly take it away so it is always surprising
even though you can see what is going to happen. Some annoying
characters like Carl have improved vastly. The Governor was fleshed
out a
bit more and was dealt with beautifully.
What's Next? - I have no idea. I
would expect to see some of the survivors of the Governor's group
find some of our group and Carol will no doubt return I would guess.
The Walking Dead is doing well in the ratings and will no doubt be
around for a while. The season resumes on February 9
