Well, one [...]

It may seem like a pretty simple thing, playing the part of a zombie on The Walking Dead, but those that get to don the rotten flesh make-up and take swipes at the show’s heroes have some serious training to do before they’re let on the set. Production for the fourth season of Walking Dead [...]
Between The Walking Dead and Mad Men, AMC has been kicking ass and taking names. So it’s only natural that they’d want to push their success a little further by taking on yet another genre project.

By now we’ve all seen the finale to season three of The Walking Dead. And it was, how should we say it… less than expected. While the season was praised for it’s direction, the promised battle of the prison and departure of David Morrissey’s Governor really left fans with fleeting expectations.

Now that the dust has settled on the background character blood drenched season 3 finale of The Walking Dead we can finally start to look towards season 4, right?

As the third season of AMC’s The Walking Dead slowly slugs its way to the final episode, it’s safe to say that the run has been a bit of a quality roller-coaster.

She was easily one of the most anticipated characters to come off the page and into AMC‘s The Walking Dead, and Danai Gurira has simply nailed it with her Michonne.
