Still Mostly Optimistic About AMC's The Walking Dead [Video]

I’m on the record saying that I’ve been disappointed by AMC’s treatment of The Walking Dead. The books are better. The video game is much, much better.

That said, I’m more optimistic about the upcoming season than the past ones, largely because it will recreate my favorite storyline from the books and introduce Michonne, my favorite character.

Here’s another drip-feed trailer, which mostly shows glimpses of the zombie fights on the prison grounds. However, it also gives another hint of that other storyline. I may have skipped the middle part of season 2 and jumped right to the finale, but I’ll be with this one from the get-go.

How about you? Are you a big Walking Dead fan? How do you think the show is doing? (Let’s keep away from big book spoilers in the comments, but say that anything from the first two seasons goes as long as you give a warning.) Are you pumped to see Michonne do her samurai thing? Are you completely indifferent to The Walking Dead, and to zombies in general?

Chat about zombies, brains, or whatever else, here or over in the Talk Amongst Yourselves forum. It’s the weekend. We made it! Have a good one, and be kind to one another.
