[Official] The Walking Dead S2 - Spoilers and Speculation

[PandaVamp]

The end has come way faster than many of us probably wanted, but that's how it is, and well, at least we have a second season to look after.

While we wait, we can already start talking about what's next for The Walking Dead.

Going to open the speculation with a nice Q&A where The Walking Dead Comic Book Creator Robert Kirkman Answers Fan Questions, and of course, includes in his answers some potential plots for the next season.

Enjoy!

I saw another good article earlier over at blastr: http://blastr.com/2010/12/the-surviving-walking-dea.php

[PandaVamp]

Excellent article, b3rt4!

I particularly can't wait and hope enough for some badass Andrea.

[b3rt4]

I sure hope Merle will be back at some point. But now that they're most likely leaving town I doubt we will ever see him again.

[PandaVamp]

Oh no! Merle has to come back somehow. I don't know how, but he has to. I don't think they'll leave it out.

I mean, his reunion with the group of survivors is potentially too explosive to miss. Not to talk about Daryl... it would be quite interesting to see how he's going to react/what his dynamic with Merle is going to be if he comes back as a threat.

I'd be surprised if Merle doesn't show up as

part of The Governors entourage.

I've never read the comics, but I understand the Dixon brothers are not in it, they are only on the TV show. Therefore, the writers are free to do what they want with Merrle.

I'd like to see him again and I think there is a chance he will turn up. He chopped off his own hand, cauterized the wound, end escaped. He is one resourceful redneck! And I imagine that the survivors (all of them, not just our characters) will gravitate toward some kind of safe zone. You never know who you might run into.

[brentoid]

i'd say its a nailed on cert he's coming back , you dont go creating a new kick ass character like that & not have some plan for him.

the entire cdc plot wasnt in the comics either, they've deviated a lot from the source material, which is a brilliant thing, you can sorta see things coming up, yet not be 100% what they are doing.

Finally! We get some little spoilers.

Enjoy!

Kirkman Hints at New Characters

Here is some more information on some of the new characters for this season:

I wonder if "when he accidentally shoots a fellow survivor" refers to a regular, reoccurring or guest character.

So what is your opinion of this new information? Are you excited? Disappointed that the inclusion of The Governor hasn't been officially confirmed yet?

The first photos from season 2:

It looks like the budget worries were all for naught because the makeup effects in these photos are amazing (easily on par with season 1). The eyes on the zombie in the first picture look especially creepy

It looks like Shane will be getting into some trouble. Do you think the show will kill off Shane this season? I have not read the graphic novels but I heard he was killed when he was thinking about killing Rick in the graphic novels early on.

Here's an intervew with Kirkman over at amctv.com. I have never read the comics so I don't know who Hershel is or why his farm is significant, but we are going to se it. Also,

a love interest for Glenn!

Not sure if that was a tag-worthy spoiler but it was my first try with invisible text!

shane was shot by carl in the neck, after he had pulled a gun on rick...all to do with him not being able to have lori, no longer being the leader of the group...and the zombie apocalypse, thats bound to have a effect on yr mental condition...this happened in the woods outside of atlanta, so they could still do that, as they are only leaving atlanta now...
