The Walking Dead returns with heart pounding action…unless you’re
a zombie. Then you have no heart.
February is known for being that time of year when you
snuggle up close those that are the most important to you and paint the town
red. By “those that are the most important to you” I am obviously talking about
the remaining members of your Zombie Apocalypse group. And by “paint the town
red” I mean the excessive amount of head shots that you and your group are
unleashing on the hordes of undead that are in constant pursuit of you and your
group. The problem with the Zombie Apocalypse is not really so much with the
zombies, but more about the people that have changed to fit in to this new
world paradigm that they find themselves in. People stake out their places in
the world and will fight to the death to hold on to that. Sometimes that is a
great and noble thing, but in this world it is usually followed by a maniacal
mad man that is looking to reign down death and destruction on anyone in his
path. Welcome to a day in the life of Rick Grimes (AKA “Officer Friendly”).
Storyline: The dead walk the earth. There is no real answer
to why they do, they just do. Bites are a death sentence and the only way to
ensure that your friends and family do not come back as “walkers” is with a well-placed
shot to the head. This is the world that we live in now. But not everyone has
been turned. Rick Grimes (Lincoln) and his group have been on the run and
looking for a place to call “home” for the last year. They have finally found
that home in the form of a prison that the group had to clear of zombies to
make safe. But a rival group in the town of Woodbury is not happy with Rick and
his people being in their backyard. So an all-out war is being waged between
the two factions and many, if not all, of those in the fight may lose their
lives in an attempt to hold on to what they feel like is theirs. It’s a
dangerous new world, and zombies are the least of your worries.
SPOILER: This poster makes me think that poor little Carl is about to take one to the dome. You know, he lost an eye in the comics...but the show has deviated so far from most of those story lines that it might not happen. Dale lost a leg in the comics, not Hershel. Michonne is the one that the Gov physically abused (raped) and held captive, not Maggie. Their stay on the farm was brief, not lasting months. Shane dies in the first comic, not so much further into the story.
The show has a way of making good on the events that took place in the comics but often changing the timelines or the character that the event happened to. So, as the poster suggests that there will be "an eye for an eye", maybe Rick is the one that is going to have his peeper popped? Beats him having his arm cut off (like he did in the comics).
