The Walking Dead has to be one of my favorite television shows of all time. The special effects, the intensity, the drama, and this fascinating world where walkers really are the secondary evil next to other people. That, and their penchant for killing off main characters at the drop of a hat, really adds a level of suspense to the show.
Last season was full of some real heartbreakers... giving Hershel a full episode dedicated to how awesome he is before The Governor decapitated him, and The Governor getting his own three-episode arc before getting killed himself, so we can understand just how evil he really is.
"The Grove", however, that episode broke my heart. I was talking to a friend of mine about CM Punk appearing on "Talking Dead" afterwards, and did he drop any hints about the WWE, was he coming back, did he bring up what he was doing, etc. But I told him there was zero opportunity for that, because "The Grove" was such a heartbreaker, such a powerful and brutal episode, that they had to dedicate the entire episode to talking about it.
So Season Five starts Sunday night, and right now, we've got the following survivors list...
Currently stuck in a boxcar in Terminus

I think that's it. Plus, apparently there's gonna be several new characters added as well. It's gonna suck not having Hershel around, but apparently he did far better than he did in the comic.
That's the thing about the comic. You can watch both the show and read the comic, and not spoil one for the other. Different things happen in the comic than the show (For example, in the comic, The Governor decaptiates Tyreese). Daryl doesn't even appear in the comic.
So, I guess what I'm asking is...
Are you excited about the Walking Dead coming back?
What do you think is going to happen?
Who's the first main character who's gonna be walker food?
