(Before we start, I know what you’re probably thinking.   “Whoa Dude, first Fear Fest and now Walking dead recaps?   Are you taking over Omega Level?”   Well, no, the Brothers Omega will return with more regular postings when their daily lives are more settled.   And shame on you for suggesting otherwise.   Sometimes Superman and Batman have to put in time on Clarke and Bruce.   The same rings true for Caffeine and Rendar.    I was tasked to write the recaps because of my familiarity with the source material, and my deep knowledge of zombie arts.)  

We start season two with a woefully written   message that serves as a reminder of what happened in the last episode of season one.   We are reminded of the CDC and Dr. Jenner, who I’m surprised they didn’t just name Mac Guffin.   I’m not the goodest writer.   I can however recognize lazy writing.   The last three episodes were rife with it last year.   The first five minutes were harrowing.   Will the bad writing continue?   Did they bad writers stay when Darabont left?   The answer is no, the bad writing will not continue.   I look at the terrible exposition as an example of where the show could have gone but won’t.   Season one may have collapsed like a certain baseball team I follow, but I can hope and dream that season two will swing for the fences again.

Fuck to the yes. Click the image to enlarge this sexalicious promo poster for the upcoming television adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s Walking Dead comic book. Word, that’s an enormous sentence. Anyways, I am one of the legion of dorks awaiting this premiere. AMC screams quality. Mad Men, Breaking Bad and Rubicon are three of my favorite television shows, and I’m pretty sure I can already chalk this up to joining the list.

When the four and a half minute trailer for Walking Dead dropped at Comicon this year, geeks and necrophiliacs alike orgasmed in glee. It was apparently of the most righteous awesomeness. That’s probably not a sentence. Anyways. Today the trailer was released officially (as opposed to the grainy bootleg copy you’ve been fapping to), and god damn, I’m excited.

It looks fuggin’ fantastic, and it premiere on the most apropos of evenings, Halloween. Hit the jump to check out the trailer.
