Not entirely surprised. And boy what an episode it was!

It was one hell of an episode. It's one of those shows that ends and no matter how late it is and how early you have to get up in the morning - you want more and go to bed thinking about it slightly amped up going over the events in your head.

Not a single person I know wasn't watching it. I mean we are talking people I would never in a million years would think would sit through a show about zombies and that "violent." I say "Wow that was an amazing show" and these people "I agree!" and all I can think is "wow, it must be good if they are watching it."

I think I only saw one person "not liking it" but at the same time was being negative about the show before it even started.

Yea, we had a countdown going on here at my house waiting for it to come on. Everybody was watching this. I was on Twitter during it and nothing but tons of #WalkingDead stuff filling my timeline. I think it broke Twitter at one point lol

It was an awesome show. I know some people were a bit suspicious, knowing how critical this season would be for the series. I think they proved their worth and then some. Amazing episode. Didn't even feel like 90 minutes to me. And talk about a cliffhanger!

Crazay4711d ago

We watched Season 1, then the Webisodes on Saturday night through Sunday afternoon in preparation of Season 2.

My mother and a few other people I know who aren't into Horror movies or shows and they absolutely LOVE this show and were downright giddy with anticipation this past weekend.
