..."with its hints about the zombie apocalypse survivors going to Washington, D.C. -- "Walking Dead" anticipation has been climbing. Let's count down some of the latest reasons to have "Walking Dead" fever.

1. No time-jump between seasons...

2. Beth's alive!:

3. New photos!: OK, this probably doesn't ?deserve that exclamation mark, since the new photos AMC released for Season 5 don't reveal much. ...

4. Season 5 spoilers: More hints about what's to come emerged at Comic-Con...

5. That awesome Comic-Con trailer: Oh, just watch it for yourself, and speculate away....

If you haven't seen it...Watch a very good 3 min video trailer (scroll down)

Still watching my way through Season 3, trying to catch up.

They all die in the end.

And then they come back

Prediction 1: Rick will navel-gaze about retaining his humanity in the face of the horrors all around him. He will undergo a variety of leadership crises but the group will rally 'round him.

Prediction 2: Glen and Maggie will tell each other endlessly how much they love each other, even if they get separated and have to do horrible things just to survive.

Prediction 3: Darryl will continue to see himself as an outsider, despite the fact that no one has ever tried to make him feel like it and he has been central to the group ever since it started.

Prediction 4: More of the same post-apocalyptic angst and boo-hooing we saw last season, which made it almost laughably dull. They're going to lose a lot of viewers if this season doesn't step up the action.

All contributions are for the current quarter expenses.



FReepathon day 40.

Two percent a day keeps the 404 away.

I have never seen it either. We see walking dead in our job too. I did read something yesterday on FR about Doc on show saying this will be our extinction level event, what takes us down. I think the poster meant this ebola would be our E.L.E. Maybe I should go back and watch all the shows. I never even saw but three or four of the Soprano shows. To much TV makes the I.Q. drop.

" Beth's alive!"

Yawn, LOL. They need to keep her away from Daryl; she makes him lose his mojo and act like a teenager. Carol's much better.

I happened across the alternate ending of the last scene...you know, "They're screwing with the wrong people." They filmed it two ways. The un-aired one is on Youtube.

Prediction 4: More of the same post-apocalyptic angst and boo-hooing we saw last season, which made it almost laughably dull. They're going to lose a lot of viewers if this season doesn't step up the action.

Prediction 5: IronJack is still going to watch TWD no matter what........And as for all those lost viewers? They're going to keep watching too.......

[CatherineofAragon]

It’s the best show on TV. My sister in law and her husband used to roll their eyes at it. Then they watched an episode and got hooked, started ordering every season on DVD.

[Vince Ferrer]

Prediction 6: Glen will die.

[IronJack]

One can only hope ...

You’re right about that. It’s beyond disgusting.

"Prediction 4: More of the same post-apocalyptic angst and boo-hooing we saw last season, which made it almost laughably dull. They're going to lose a lot of viewers if this season doesn't step up the action."

Yeah ahhh season 4's premiere EP had 60% more viewers than season 3 and had 30% more viewers on average per EP in Season 4 as opposed to season 3 and was the most watched cable TV show in the USA.

So yeah I can see a REAL DANGER of TWD losing massive audience share unless thet change their format to suit you...

(Yes, the above would be sarcasm...)
