One of the best series on television, certainly the best at delivering suspense and horror, returns next Sunday. And this season, “The Walking Dead” promises to reveal where and how the Walker phenomenon began.
The secret of any successful series rests in either never changing anything (“Two and a Half Men”) or continually upping the stakes.
And when you make a major revelation such as the one “The Walking Dead” promises, the fan boys will inevitably be all over you if the explanation offered doesn’t fit with some obscure moment back in Episode One.
For me, that’s the reason “Lost” and “Twin Peaks” climaxed to such mass disappointment. Both had gone so far to hide what they were up to that ultimately no solution could satisfy those paying attention.
I’m betting the writers on “The Walking Dead” are smarter than that. Unless of course, their reveal is something like what follows…
Enjoy Your Sunday.
