Buffy The Vampire Slayer and The Walking Dead

I am looking forward to the new season of The Walking Dead hitting the airwaves in a few weeks.  I have been watching the prequel series Fear the Walking Dead, And while it has a talented cast, I do not find it nearly as exciting as the main show.  The idea of showing how the zombie outbreak began is an intriguing one, but by concentrating on such a small group of characters, the series lacks the kind of scale which  that story really demands.

Mr. Monster and The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead is back and even though the gory stuff makes me watch half of it with my hands over my eyes, I have been enjoying the return of Rick and company.  I like that they have added in a character who just may have a cure for the walking dead plague if he can get to the right facility - it gives the group a goal other than merely just trying to stay alive, and a good reason to keep moving instead of holing up in one place.

Marvel Zombies are The Walking Dead

I continue to enjoy AMC's The Walking Dead, even though I tend to watch half of the episodes with my hands covering my eyes - I'm not a big fan of the gore.  Still, I love the tension that is built up over the course of the seasons and the core cast of characters give solid performances.  I've read of plans to spin off the show, and I don't know how wise of an idea that is.  They have good thing going now, and I wouldn't want to see it diluted.
