Can't really blame them, can you? They worked a long time on 1 season, then they needed to find out if it was a success before they could make a next.

I don't see what the big deal is. The first season was six eps and you had to wait a year to see more. It's not like you already got used to watching 13 eps of this show a year.

Now Mad Men...that's been killing me.

Yes, but AMC only ordered 6 episodes. They then ordered a full season, but that's really beside the point. Other shows take a mid-season hiatus as well, like Supernatural, but come back much sooner. In the end, I think the term "hiatus" is what bothers me. They should just create a new model of "mini-seasons" and be done with it: 6 episodes fall, winter, spring, with a break in the summer.

Prof S hit the nail on the head.

The issue is also pacing....if you are going to have a "mini season," then pace the damn show! I don't know if you all forgot, but Season 2 of the Walking Dead wasn't a stellar tour de force from start to finish.

The writing is not aligned with a "mini season." Maybe they can fine tune that with new expectations for the next season.

I swear, Lori is on the top of my need to go list.

Aside from some false drama, the Rick stuff was the best stuff this episode

I didn't even know it was on tonight. I lucked out by just happening to be looking at that channel right when it started.

The bar scene was intense as hell.

I actually forgot this show was on. Good thing torrents...bad news AMC. I mean can you blame me? Archer and Justified, yo. The hiatus really threw off the show's groove. We'll see how viewer ratings hold up.

I like the part where Daryl called Lori "Olive Oil."

Next episode: "I'm not helping, fucking spaghetti!"

Okay, so now that we have the negatives out of the way...this was a really good episode. Another step in the right direction. The bar scene at the end was awesome.

I mean, it was a metaphor, right? Kind of like Rick was being put into Hershel's shoes for a few seconds with these new strangers who want to camp out at his place. But of course they are more sinister so he had to pop them (okay, that's cliche, but it's a good cliche). I give this episode a mother fucking A-. The show has finally broke that barrier for me.

They also ended the episode with a Clutch song. How did the guys at AMC know that Clutch is like my favorite band?

Is Rick the "regulator?"

That I would get lost along the way?

Dream with the feathers of angels stuffed beneath your head.
The regulator's swinging pendulum.

Come with me and walk the longest mile.

Is his wallet leather? Is his wallet fat?
For not a year later it's got you lying on your back.
You should have closed your windows and got another dog.
You should have chained up all the doors and switched up all the locks.

And how many times have I prayed
The angels would speed me away.

Dream with the feathers of angels stuffed beneath your head.
The regulator's swinging pendulum.

Come with me and walk the longest mile.

Seems like the mid-season break didn't stop its momentum at all.. if anything...

'Walking Dead' return delivers massive ratings

AMC’s midseason return of The Walking Dead broke the show’s previous records.

Walking Dead had 8.1 million viewers and 5.4 million viewers among adults 18-49. That’s the biggest series drama telecast in the adult demo in basic cable history.

Well that's good, I guess Prof S won't have to worry about the show losing it's funding other than what was already cut to pay for Mad Men.
