They weren't kidding about taking the TV show in a different direction than the comic.
In a move that should come as no surprise, AMC has renewed “The Walking Dead” for a third season — and they managed to do it without engaging in a prolonged dispute or firing the showrunner. Good for them!
More than 7 million people watched the season 2 premiere, and nearly 5 million of those were in the adults 18-49 demographic, both enormous numbers for a scripted basic cable drama. The second episode averaged 6.7 million viewers for its first airing, with more than 4.5 million 18-49 viewers. [HitFix]
When I went to the “Walking Dead” panel with comic creator Robert Kirkman last Friday, he was coy about the possibility of a third season, but everyone in the audience was like, “Yeah right, like it won’t happen.” This is just the smart, obvious thing to do. Like adding dinosaurs to the show.

It was worth delaying the post to finish the Photoshop.
On a side note, anyone else have their arms and lower back go numb watching him carry his son for that run through the field?
director: ‘Sorry, just one more time Mr. Lincoln, we accidentally had the catering van in the background of that last take!’
The group makes so many horrible decisions I can’t see them surviving past season 3. They’re lucky they have that Asian guy around to keep them alive.
what show isn’t improved by dinosaurs, not terra nova category?
Maybe the dinosaurs could be zombies too?
Time for me to start watching this show too.
