That\u2019s pretty much all I can really say about\u00a0The Walking Dead<\/em>\u00a0mid-season finale.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t felt this hooked into a television show since the fourth season of\u00a0Dexter<\/em>.\u00a0 But I don\u2019t think even Dexter could pull at the heart strings like The Walking Dead does.<\/span><\/p>\n

I really can\u2019t think of anything that disappoints me about the show, other than the fact that it\u2019s not on more.\u00a0 I\u2019ve more or less developed at least one emotion to pretty much every character to this point, and I feel my entire body going tense while watching each episode.\u00a0 There are parts where I can\u2019t even sit down, I\u2019m so far beyond the edge of my seat.\u00a0 The zombies themselves are an afterthought for the most part, it\u2019s the constant threat of them being around that is enough to create the necessary tension.<\/span><\/p>\n

A long, long time ago, I read the first few issues of the comic book, so beyond the first season, this is all more or less new territory for me, beyond the few differences and wrenches the television storyline has embarked on.\u00a0 Now, I dare not even think about delving into the comic books just yet, for fear of ruining the suspense and anticipation that I\u2019ve created for myself in regards to the series.\u00a0 Maybe later, in the future I will, but certainly not now.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love where how the show is progressing with my boy Glenn, and it always rules to me when a male protagonist can have an emotional monologue, and get good results out of the words.\u00a0 Vicariously, I want to be Glenn, with the opportunity to kill zombies and pursue a relationship with the hot farmer\u2019s daughter.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not even upset with the whole mid-season finale thing they\u2019re doing.\u00a0 I\u2019m more in admiration for AMC\u2019s intelligent decision to not bother competing with the stretch run of football, as well as the coming bowl season, and I\u2019m guessing they\u2019ll re-air the first seven episodes again, and try to snare some more loyal viewers, right before restarting the season in February, with hopefully a bigger following.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
