1) It's about goddamn time (yay!)

2) It's on AMC? (boo)

I have serious concerns whether or not a non-premium cable channel can do this series justice. There isn't a lot of gore in The Walking Dead, but when there is gore, it is purposeful and GRAPHIC. I mean unflinchingly graphic. Last House of the Left (the original) graphic. And I think it's utterly crucial to the storytelling. I really hope HBO or Showtime would have picked this up.

Oh well, it will be interesting in any case, and AMC has a good track record with their series, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
