  • Trailer For The Walking Dead Season 4 Return

    http://youtu.be/KP3YCd_n560

    Now that all shit has been let loose and Rick and his group of survivors are split up after The Governor’s assault on the prison, where do they go from here? We are not too far away from finding out. The Walking Dead returns on February 9th and here is the trailer for the show’s second half.

    How near will the plot be to the aftermath in the comics? They have already done the whole “bucknuts crazy Rick talks to Lori on a phone” on the show so that is out the window. If Rick and Carl meet up with Michonne, like in the comics, it could be a good opportunity to flesh out her character more.

    We know that Abraham, Eugene and Rosita are on the way so we may be headed on a trip to D.C. and don’t forget (off the comic trip) that we should see Carol sooner rather than later.

     

  • Carl And Rick Hit The Rails In New Poster For The Walking Dead

    If you watched the mid-season finale of The Walking Dead then chances are you are still traumatized by the events that happened, and if you are a comic fan, then you are happy that finally, in the show’s fourth season, it is beginning to get the feel of the comic down. Give you a taste of normalcy then bash your face in with pain.

    The new poster for the second half of Season 4 shows Carl and Rick out on their own after being run out of the prison. How long will it be before they meet up with Michonne? Will we see Carol sooner rather than later? How much more of a man crush can some people (meaning me) have for Norman Reedus? We will find out on February 9th.

  • The Walking Dead Sets Another Ratings Record

    If you were waiting on The Walking Dead to show signs of slow down in the ratings, you may have a long wait ahead. The Season 4 premiere of the AMC show set another ratings record last night with 16.1 million viewers. The previous highest watched episode was the Season 3 finale with 12.4 million viewers. It was so big that the major networks Sunday night ratings were down 17% total.

    How about this? NBC has not announced the ratings for last night’s Sunday Night Football but there is a good chance that The Walking Dead may have drawn more viewers in total. That is f***ing insane. With DVR playback, AMC thinks that total viewership could top 20 million viewers. For a basic cable show.

    I enjoyed last night’s premiere. I know the series is far from perfect and can never truly encapsulate how great the comic series is but the show made great strides in Season 3 and looks to be moving at a good pace.

    The Talking Dead also had big ratings with 5.1 million viewers. I think we can attribute that to Nathan Fillion.

     

  • Want More Walking Dead? AMC Hopes So. Spin-Off Series Coming In 2015

    AMC is developing a spin-off for The Walking Dead with creator Robert Kirkman and show producers Dave Alpert and Gale Anne Hurd. The show would involve new characters and locations not in the current show.

    This is a smart choice for AMC, even if some will roll their eyes at it. The Walking Dead is AMC’s highest rated show and a spin-off is logical considering Breaking Bad is ending in a few weeks and Mad Men’s seventh season will be its last. They have already given a go for the Breaking Bad prequel, Better Call Saul.

    So the AMC lineup for 2015 should look like this:

    The Walking Deader/Deadest?

    Better Call Saul

    Madder Men

    High Summer Moon

    Graphic Novel Women

  • New Poster For The Walking Dead Season 4

    The prison is not looking like the safest place to be in the new poster for The Walking Dead. Rick and his group of survivors will bring in people from Woodbury while someone on the inside begins to sabotage their defenses. Also don’t forget that The Governor is still riding around somewhere and will be wanting his revenge.

    The Walking Dead starts on October 13th.

  • How About A Clip Of The Walking Dead Season 4?

    As big a fan of The Walking Dead as I am (both comic and show), there is no way to say that Season 2 was not a little boring and really felt stretched too thin to make 16 episodes. Gladly, Season 3 seemed to address those issues and it really began to show what it is capable of with much better pacing with split stories between the prison and Woodbury as well as the inclusion of new characters that fans cared about.

    We are a little over a month away from Season 4 and AMC is turning up the promotion dial to ten including a sneek peek during last night’s Low Winter Sun. It is only 45 seconds, but it is 45 seconds of Michonne so enjoy it.

    The Walking Dead returns on October 13th.

  • The Walking Dead Season 4 Trailer Is Un-Fu**ing-Believable

    Even for fans that have turned their backs on The Walking Dead, you can not deny that the Season 4 trailer shown at Comic-Con is easily the best the show has ever looked. The main characters are established with Tyreese and Michonne now firmly entrenched in the group and the remnants of the population of Woodbury moved in. Now it appears that someone is secretly compromising the safety of the prison forcing Rick and everyone to think about leaving.

    For a fan of the comics (me) this is the closest the show has been in tone and feel to the monthly series since Season 1. I am loving the “solve the mystery” aspect the trailer plays up as the group wonders why the prison is closing in around them.

    The Walking Dead returns on October 13th.

    The wait is almost over. February 10th sees the return of The Walking Dead. Will Daryl and Merle make it out of Woodbury alive? Can Michonne gain Rick’s trust? How awesome is it to finally have Tyreese? Will Andrea stop being a massive, moronic bi***?

    Check out the new poster for the show’s return with The Governor’s new look thanks to Michonne’s handiness with fish tank glass.

  • Rick Plays “Mine’s Bigger” In The New Walking Dead Poster.

    Here is the final poster for the upcoming third season of AMC’s The Walking Dead. While last year’s poster got fans excited to see Rick running towards Herschel’s farm, this offering is giving fans a shot of Rick in front of the prison which many people (me included) have been waiting on since the series started. And if you are not caught up on The Walking Dead comics or just watch the show exclusively then you really have no idea how appropriate the tagline for this season is.

    Season 3 of The Walking Dead premieres October 14. Just in case you didn’t read the poster.
