On October 13th, AMC’s thriller The Walking Dead will return to televisions all over the country with a new season full of action and cliffhangers from the prison.
The hit TV show has turned viewers at Central into loyal fans who have waited for the new season to start and answer questions left from the last season.
Senior Kyle Disch, who has watched the show since its premiere in 2010, says he does not know what to expect in the new season.
“I hope they go back towards fighting more zombies,” Disch said. “ The last season was focused more on fighting other people instead of zombies, which is why i didn’t like last season that much.”
Last season, main character Rick Grimes and his zombie fighting crew were poised with a threat much worse than the zombies themselves. Phillip Blake, a.k.a. The Governor, made it his mission to wipe out Rick and his crew at the prison, but fled when his plan fell through. This kept viewers wondering if they would ever see the one eyed threat again.
Senior Brian Wilson thinks the governor is still the prison’s biggest threat.
“The governor doesn’t care about anyone else,” Wilson said. “He does everything by what he wants to do and what will be the safest for himself.”
The Walking Dead’s new season, which consists of 16 episodes, will be broken up into two eight episode sub seasons. The Walking Dead has been using this technique since its second season, and other popular shows such as Breaking Bad have done the same.
“I don’t really like it because it makes us sit and wait,” Wilson said. “I think the cliffhangers are too big to leave unanswered for a while.”
New episodes of The Walking Dead are on AMC every Sunday through December 1st.
