Work resumes on Telltale's final 'The Walking Dead' season

You might not have to wait too long to find closure for the final season of Telltale's The Walking Dead. Several weeks after rescuing the franchise, Robert Kirkman's Skybound has restarted work on the season using "many" of the people who worked on the game the first time around. It even promised that it would announce release dates for the last two episodes "soon."

You might lose access to previous seasons of the game as part of a "transition," Skybound said. However, the company promises that you won't have to buy the season again just because of the change in ownership.

    Well, Breaking Bad and DS9 were both shows with slow and mediocre beginnings and they turned out to be good; in fact, I'm still kicking myself for not giving Breaking Bad a chance.

    But I did see the first few episodes of Walking Dead and only got a bunch of race-mixing propaganda and a ham-handed finger-wagging about bad Nazis and that bad Nazis should be handcuffed to immobile objects and left to die. If the first few episodes of that show were already that ham-handedly Dick and Jane about racism, then I'm probably gonna have to put up with bullshit public service announcements for the rest of the series. No thanks.

    Additionally, the zombie fad -- which was already overhyped to death -- was starting to die off (heh) just as Walking Dead went on the air.

    In my humble opinion the last good TV series was Drawn Together. The last good movie that wasn't complete shit is Birdman, and that's significant coming from me because I hate self-referential movies about acting.

      And the racist handcuffed to the roof threading into a *LOT* of other plotlines throughout the next 2-3 seasons and had an effect long after that.

      Having said that, the stupid remains, and just to be even funnier, it's now been lampooned by Z Nation, which imho is turning into the better zombie show, even with their stupid and sudden character deaths. Having said that, there are a few characters in Walking Dead who managed to survive long past their comic-related characters demises who are worth watching, but overall it's a bunch of whiney stupid people making the same sorts of mistakes season after season. It kind of makes you wonder how they lasted as long as they did.
