The future for A&E's hit series...The Walking Dead

So we all seen The Walking Dead right?!? I mean how can you not see the first show about brain eating zombies?! Well..I have...and I loved it..and Hated it...But regardless of my sentiments...It's back for a season 2!
The Cast:
  • Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes(the most awesome cop ever)
  • John Bernthal as Shane Walsh(the backstabber)
  • Sarah Callies as Lori Grimes(the ho)
  • Laurie Holden as Andrea(the unstable one)
  • Jeffrey Demunn as Dale(the grandpa)
  • Steven Yeun as Glen(the smart chinese mastermind)
  • Chandler Riggs as Carl Grimes(the kid torn b/w 2 dads)(premiering at big apple comic con this spring)
Of course there's a whole list of more characters but I got to bored writing all these down, so I'm sure this is good enough.

This show is awesome for many reasons, the only negative is that it can be slow sometimes and it lacks what you find in most zombie movies which action sequence after action sequence. Its more like a dawn of the dead kind of show where they hold themselves up in one location for 5 episodes and then move to the next for another 5 episodes.

Of course the awesome part of this show is the zombies and that it plays so well with the creative and amazing comic book series as well. The freaking characters even look pretty well alike. 
So anyways onto season 2 details.....
  • For 1 it will probably release in October just like season 1 of the show because they just start filiming in May of this year. 
  •  Stephen King may write an episode in season 2
  • Any character is subject to a gruesome death.
  • There will be ONLY 13 episodes =[
  • Bernthal: “Shane screwed up pretty big at the end of the season. We’re gonna see a guy who is really, really lonely. It’s a different kind of loneliness. He’s with the people he loves and he can’t be with them the way he wants to. You will see the worst of him and the best of him in season two."
  • Holden:“The only reason Andrea left the CDC is because she didn’t want Dale’s blood on her hands. She has lost everything and has no love in her life and there will be a lot of resentment towards Dale in season two. Andrea will get stronger and find her feet. In the graphic novel she emerges as a warrior, so I’m excited for that. She may be a bit of a lone wolf in season two, just trying to find her feet.” Bernthal: “In this season, you’re going to see that these people are a lot more dangerous to each other than the zombies are."
  • Holden: “I know we are going to get to Hershel’s farm in season two. But I can’t wait to get to the prison. Tyreese (Keith Allen Hayes is rumored in the role) and Michonne and The Governor -- we’ve got some very bad ass people we are going to meet, but I don’t think we will get to the prison in season two because there is a lot to do, but we haven’t read the script so we don’t know.” 
  • Shane Walsh might have an early departure on the show...*hint*hint* but no final script has been seen until just prior to them shooting. (I'm going to hate to see this triangle turn into a line)

    All in All, it looks like we still have a while till we can get our zombie fix on television. In the meantime though go watch some great Zombie movies like Dawn of the Dead or a classic like Night of the living dead....or even better...watch season 1 of The Walking dead so you can refresh your memory way to far in advance =]

    *In case of zombie apocalypse....FOLLOW ME!*
