The Walking Dead Season 3, Episode 1

Season two of "The Walking Dead" was hit or miss with me. Parts of it dragged on, but the last few episodes were some of the strongest in the television show's run, giving us confrontations the show had been waiting a long time for (Boom! Rick, Andrew Lincoln, and Shane, Jon Bernthal) , getting us off the farm, (Splat! Lots of zombies) and telling us several big series revelations (Shock! We're all infected).
