The Walking Dead: Walking Straight Again

The smash hit TV show The Walking Dead is set to air season two on October 16th. Although the first season of the show started out with a huge bang it left many Fanboys confused.

SPOILER ALERT!!!! DON’T READ ON IF YOU DON’T WANNA GET SPOILED!






Season one ended with Rick and his crew of survivors leaving the CDC and starting to head out on the road again. But in the comics there is no CDC scene. Also Shane is alive and kickin which is again not how it goes in the comic book world.

But it seems they writers have kicked themselves into gear and are heading towards the right direction by having the survivors head to Greene Farms. I’m not going to spoil what goes down there but it’s bound to be intense.

Although it worries me that executive producer Gale Hurd has confirmed that all principal cast has signed onto a multi season contract, which is GREAT in most cases but what about Shane because he is dead by issue six of the comic.

But maybe there is hope yet. The first episode of season two is called “Miles Behind Us” which is the title of the second collected edition of The Walking Dead (. But who knows that might just be how their starting each season. Season one’s first episode is “Days Gone Bye” which is the first C.E)

Other than the two mishaps of season one (CDC, Shane) the shows stays close to the source material which is amazing and I don’t think they could have picked better actors to play Rick, Glenn, Lori, Dale and Carl.

And the adding of characters Daryl Dixon and Merle Dixon are just amazing story lines and I hope that Robert Kirkman (creator of the comics, producer of the TV show) takes note and does a spin off series of the two brothers. And in interviews Kirkman does seem very interested in doing so.

Here is a trailer for Season 2!



I know a lot of rambling but those are some hopes of Season 2 and thoughts of series.
