The Walking Dead has turned itself from one of the most promising shows on television to one of the most disappointing, and now all the way back to being one of the most interesting programmes on TV in the span of three short seasons and in the hands of two different show-runners. With Glen Mazzara on his way out, there are precious few episodes left in which to enjoy one of the best runs of any executive of any television program pretty much ever.

It seems like high praise, given the many brilliant television shows that have been on the air, especially in recent cable years, but after watching the forthcoming episode of The Walking Dead, I don’t believe I’m reaching too far in that assertion. Rather than delaying with a flashback, or a catch-up, or something of that nature, The Suicide King jumps right into the moment where the show left off, immediately kicks off action scenes, and does not let up for a good portion of the episode.

However, when the show does let up, it’s for a good reason. One of the big problems the show has had in the past is that its discussions/arguments/whatever were completely meaningless. After all, there are zombies out there eating people, and they’re having pointless debates. There were many palavers and arguments during this week’s episode, but for once they kind of… made sense, I suppose. They were discussing issues, and they were real, relevant issues to the current situation actually happening. More telling, they were speaking in pretty intelligent ways rather than platitudes.

That’s a big credit to writer Evan T. Reilly, one of the better minds in the show’s platoon of writers. He has a good handle on the character dynamics, and he has produced a well-balanced, well-plotted episode that moves cleverly between action and drama as necessary to propel the story along. It’s interesting to see how the characters interact with one another and how they deal with the losses they suffered along the way to get where they are, and how what they’ve gone through presents itself in their current mode of behaviour.

The personality clashes between the two… well, now three group leaders on the show – The Governor, Rick, and Tyreese – are getting really interesting, particularly given Rick’s instability in the first part of the third season. It’s unsettling for the audience and the characters to see Rick, the stable, moral, lets-talk-it-out guy of the first and second season begin to turn into a dangerous dictator type (the Governor, as we all saw earlier this year, needs no help being dangerously crazy). Tyreese hasn’t gotten involved between the two much so far, but he looks as though he’s going to become a major player since, well, he was a major player in the comic series and the show needs to have one legitimate black role model (who isn’t Morgan from S1).

Season 3 is just around the corner for “The Walking Dead Series” approximately that is 2 weeks from now before the most anticipated return of AMC’s zombie drama takes it longest season yet to date slated to hit tubes this 14^th of October. On the recently released trailer by AMC, any TWD avid fan would definitely be excited to see a glimpse of some notable characters in the series which everyone has been yearning to see. On the a new clip from the series which was released internationally, fans would be delighted to see one of the series iconic character, the sword wielding  la femme fatale, Michonne (as played by Danai Gurira) do her stuff (and of course can be Michonne without her zombie pets right?) in the minutes long teaser clip.

In a brief take, the story continues as Rick Grimes along with other survivors fight for survival against hordes of undead walkers, when they realize there are entities more frightening than that of hungry walkers.  Their fight for survival has never been this hard and they must muster more than enough courage and strength to overcome the perils ahead while keeping themselves’ alive and human. The third season will be the longest chapter (16 episodes) of the series which will be divided in to two parts, the first part will be aired in the last remaining days of the year and the second part will be aired early next year (around February of 2013). Also the third season of TWD will introduce two of the most revered characters in the series, Michonne (Danai Gurira) and the evil of all evil in the TWD series, the man behind the quite sanctuaries of Woodbury, The Governor which will be played by British actor David Morrissey. Season will also be a season of comebacks, as some notable characters in the series will be returning (with vengeance) in the series’ storyline. Continue reading →

In a recently posted  transcribed interview with AMC ‘s The Walking Dead blog, executive producer Glen Mazzara shared some few bits of spoilers of the upcoming season of the series and the way it says, undead walkers are the least of concerns for our survivors.

Anybody familiar or may have been a follower of the graphic novel (to where the series was derived) knew the exactly what Mazzara is discussing about, and it points to one single character who happens to be known as The Governor. Now given if the writers of the TV series will stick literally to the characters’ comics presentation , than The Governor will be the most terrifying entity to be in the next season.

“The number one rule is not so much keeping the zombies scary, it’s keeping the show scary,” Mazarra shared in the interview. “(the walkers) are always a horror but as our folks learn to live with them, the new horror becomes what people will do to survive and to protect each other in this world. And what they’re willing to sacrifice to achieve their ambition.“So it’s very much a human drama, and I think these new characters, particularly The Governor, certainly do play into that,” He quipped.
