The zombie apocalypse is real… in “The Walking Dead”. Season 5 comes back October 12th
(Sunday), and I couldn’t be more ready.
If you haven’t been following the show, here’s a brief summary up to
season 4:
I’ve
been waiting for this season since the last season ended. From what I hear, the beginning of the
upcoming season (season 5), it’s going to be super intense. That makes me nervous because my favorite
character is Daryl, hasn’t been bitten or killed yet and it concerns me that
the show makers will kill him off. It’s
clear to me that the people who are creating the show have no mercy for the
fans favorite characters and will kill anyone that follows their plot. I only believe this because in the previous
seasons, we met a man named Hershel who became a favorite for the fans but they
gruesomely cut him out of the picture. Daryl Dixon was never originally
supposed to be a favorite of the fans but he has certainly grown to be. There is merchandise for “The Walking Dead”
and I’ve seen a lot of shirts with “If Daryl dies, we riot” etc.
I
think the show has done an amazing job and it hasn’t gotten boring yet. They’ve been really successful. Since the start of the show, they’ve created
an app that allows you to transform a perfectly normal and sweet picture into a
gruesome “walker” or zombie. They have
created a lot of merchandise following the show like survival kits, bags,
clothing, zombie masks, Rick’s sheriff badge, etc.

The
show is based off the comic strips, The
Walking Dead. Of course the show isn’t
going to directly follow the comic series, but since the creation of the show,
there has been an increase of buyers of the comic series. The success of both has TWD (The Walking
Dead) popularly talked about through social media. Facebook has a fan page; twitter has a
profile, etc. TWD is being transmitted
any and every way to all viewers.
