If it means I don't have to read about them in CBOT I like it

The reality is much more likely that your challenges will more likely be the pursuit of food, shelter, fuel and health. Not zombies.

Zombies are a bit like vampires and witches. A cute, romantic notion added in for colour. Only thing about zombies is there's a minutely slight chance they could exist in one form or another. And for certain, The Walking Dead would be one boring show without them!

Now, you can discuss your favourite show in here, post spoilers and whatnot. I don't watch it, never have so......seeyas!

I think people is fascinated with zombies because they represent many fears the humans have: Sickness ,rot, death, fall of society etc.

Besides it's the perfect outlet for violence, you can kill zombies with a chainsaw or blew up it's head with a shotgun and no one will argue about killing a souless undead monster

Better than the TV show

Tonight's episode was one of a handful that was genuinely deserving of the praise that people like to slather the show with. Laser-focused, well-written, and freakin' character-driven. Hell, they even showed a little bit of the Michonne that I came to love in the books, which was a refreshing change from the scowling, one-dimensional caricature she's been up until this point. Really good stuff. So good, in fact, that I almost wish that Rick, Carl, and Michonne would have just driven off and left the rote melodrama of the prison and Woodbury in their rear-view.

Yeah I thought it was good too, genuinely shocked the dude from season one was there. Liked it though!

I'm glad we got closure on the character from season one. There were brief times I always wondered if we would find out what happened. Looking forward to the next episode

I just can't seem to get into it since it's return... the awesomeness of the video game has spoilt the series for me. It just can live up to all those feels.

Bit disappointed, was hoping for a little more this week after last weeks episode.

Wish Andrea would just be killed off already.

Maggie is damn fine though. :P
