I'm so jazzed for this series.

I always thought a zombie apocalypse scenario would be perfect for a TV series - my thinking was something along the lines of World War Z but serialized. Movies about such things are too rushed, don't get into character development, etc. The most interesting thing about zombies is not the zombies themselves, but how people react to the end of society and the constant threat of a nameless, inhuman threat.

I haven't read all of The Walking Dead, but boy was I happy that this was the property they decided to translate to the small screen. I have definitely enjoyed the comics I have read, and I was overjoyed that AMC is doing this, as I would only really trust them or HBO to do it justice. I breathed a big sigh of relief when I found out it wasn't going to be ruined by CBS, ABC, NBC or FOX.

Halloween can't come soon enough!
