Grab your shovels and crossbows and watch your back, because this Sunday the dead return!
Season 4 of AMC's ratings juggernaut The Walking Dead has us wondering just what to expect - and the unknown is always scary, right? We had quite the body count last season that's bound to find our surviving characters in a shattered state of recovery.
The series has another new showrunner - Scott Gimple, who's written some of the show's strongest episodes, a good sign. We don't have a clearly recognizable setting initially that compares with the farm of season 2 or Woodbury of season 3 - though it looks like we're going to be returning to the prison as season 4 begins. Michonne appears to have a horse, which gives her a nifty Samurai vibe!
There are bound to me new characters and new threats this year, and potentially more casualties, as The Walking Dead has come to rival Game of Thrones or Sons of Anarchy as a series where cast members read their scripts nervously. But one thing's for sure, The Walking Dead has always put character front and center, never letting us forget that the survivors of this horrific outbreak are people - good, bad and ugly - all the while serving up extreme doses of suspense and terror. When someone is lost it moves us - we care. The Walking Dead is a show that refuses to play it safe, and that unpredictable depiction of society's aftermath has struck a nerve with viewers in a major way.
At my house, we're more than ready for Sunday, whatever it may bring...
