It always comes down to this: At any moment, a zombie could leap out of the shadows and end your life. At last, it seems like there is a cause that unites mankind to end all our petty squabbles. But no. It's never that simple. Now Rick has a gun to his head.

    The The Walking Dead started out strong with an innovative concept and diverse cast of characters. Too many characters and poor pacing severely weaken the product.

The members of the group have to start a new life once again.

Then he finds Maggie shacking up with Glenn the very next morning. And THEN Rick comes out of the blue and asks Hershel if his group can stay in his house (you know, since more rooms are now available). And THEN Hurricane Lori strikes, and that is the final straw for Hershel. Not only does he almost slap a pregnant Lori, but he puts a gun to Rick's head. Later on he agonizingly confesses to Otis just how close he was to pulling that t more
