THE WALKING DEAD - SEASON 2

Rick Grimes and his ragtag crew of zombie apocalypse survivors are back on the small screen Sunday night for “The Walking Dead” Season 2 90-minute premiere [actual running time - 1HR 3 MINS]

Based on “The Walking Dead” comics by writer Robert Kirkman and artists Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard, the AMC television series made basic-cable history last season as the most-watched drama when 6 million viewers tuned in for the finale. The new season jumps from six episodes to 13, and executive producer Glen Mazzara is taking the reins from former showrunner Frank Darabont.

The new season follows Rick Grimes as he leads the group out of Atlanta, to possible sanctuary (and new characters) at Hershel’s farm.



WHAT DID WE LEARN THIS EPISODE ?


1, Don't let ' Squinty McOld Dude [Dale] in charge of keeping lookout ...... even with binoculars, on top of the RV .... 50 zombies marched down the highway to within 20 yds of the group before Dale spotted them ...... and then, having allowed the 'not very stealthy' herd of zombies sneak up to within touching distance ...... DON'T allow him to be the moral compass when others want some more control over their own lives.

2. The group still haven't found a replacement hose for Dale's RV.

3. Daryl would rather drive a 1960's British chopper [sans baffle] than any number of  modern motorbikes that the group pass on their journey.

And to those at HITFLIX.COM who wrote " A MASTERCLASS IN SUSPENSE FILMMAKING " ..... I suggest you watch Season 4 of Breaking Bad if you want to see real suspense.
