.... unpredictability keeps viewers on the edge of their seats and the shows' stars in a constant state of alertness.
"You see series and they last a long time and sometimes the writing gets lazy or the acting gets lazy. Because we're in a zombie apocalypse and anyone can go at any time, it sort of keeps us fresh and on our toes," Norman Reedus told The Associated Press Friday.
Fans lined up around the block to watch a panel discussion with Reedus and his co-stars at Paleyfest, the annual Southern California TV celebration. Many in the crowd showed their support for Reedus' crossbow-wielding character, Daryl Dixon, with their "If Daryl dies we riot!" T-shirts.
The 44-year-old actor says his vocal fan base is responsible for his character's impressive longevity in a series that seems to have no qualms in axing its most popular characters.
"Hell yes. Oh my god, yes," he said. "(They're) keeping me on the show."
"The Walking Dead" focuses on a rag-tag band of surviving refugees, including unruly brothers Daryl and Merle Dixon, who were not part of the series' comic book origins.

Duane. But “Duane turned” was on the wall too.
Well there is some discussion that if the digestive tract stays in tact then Zombies live longer because they eat which allows the body to renew itself but at a much slower pace than normal.
Remember we found out in the first season that the brain reanimates but only in the lower functions. Apparently their lungs work (at least the diaphragm muscle anyways) because they can make vocalizations (grunting and such) it takes air being forced from the lungs to do that.
I am currently reading the Rise of the Governor/Walking Dead Trilogy (They are novels not Comic Books).
Trust me, the Gov. lost it a long time before he got to Woodbury. Hell he even lies about who he is.
Those can be tough to track down. I spent weeks looking for the song they played on Deadliest Catch when Phil Harris died.

I did NOT know that. Thanks.
Indeed. A dirty little Girl. ;)
they seem to do a good job of killing off characters I find annoying
Dale, Shane, Lori, Axel.
and I’m getting tired of Andrea
I remember Andrea asking the gov his name but he wouldn't give it.......I'm curious as to who he is and what he may have done before the apocalypse...
And since they were fully armed and in military uniform, I have to believe there is still a military compound somewhere within maybe a hundred miles.......
I wonder if they will figure in to any future episodes...........
If you recall, a helicopter from that base crashed in that episode or the one before and a survivor said that the base had effectively fallen.
That’s how the governor knew to expect the small convoy. Its been months but I think the helicopter was scouting a path for the guys traveling by road.
As cripplecreek said, the small military unit was basically a group of refugees from Fort Benning, GA, which had been overrun by walkers.

I’m hoping Rick got some ideas on how to shore up defenses at the prison after their little visit with Morgan.
It was nice to hear Rick actually make a funny with Michonne when he said she should drive because he sees things.
I think having Rick lighten up a bit will change the whole dynamic for the better.
That was a good scene. :D
That was a good scene and I think it indicates that Rick and Carl have finally accepted Michonne to their group.....
The culture wars are over!?
Well they explain in that very episode the Soldiers in the helicopter were scouting for the convoy that the Gov. goes back and ambushes. The soldier they rescue from the helicopter said their army base got over run by walkers and their convoy was all that survived.
Good list. Add a little Andrea,and will have a flush. Lol.
