The Walking Dead "spinoff" & Season 5 About a month away. Looks like someone's channeling Grizzly Adams. "Robert was probably trying to clarify that this isn't a real spin-off because fans keep suggesting TWD characters for the 2015 show, or hoping for overlap. You never know — TWD is doing so well for AMC that they may go ahead and greenlight a real spin-off for, say, the Dixon brothers or Rick and Shane: The Early Years, but this "companion series" isn't the place for delving into our beloved characters' histories. The new show will still cover the zombie apocalypse, but it may not even have Walking Dead in the title. Many real spin-offs don’t (Frasier from Cheers, The Jeffersons from All in the Family, etc.), so bythe companion series may want fresh branding. Or maybe it’ll want to piggyback on the title, and do something like The Walking Dead: Day One or The Walking Dead: North Pole, or whatever. Maybe they should start with a Sharknado-ish title and go from there. The AMC brass recently said the spin-off is still only in the incubation stages as they try to zero in on what they want it to be about. It's still supposed to show up next year, so we'd be surprised if the next few months didn't bring more concrete details." I'm excited especially since it'll be in a different places with its own storyline exploring different avenues. | |

Hmm, somehow, the preview doesn't make me all that excited about season 5, however, I'll still be tuning in anyway because I'm such a fan of the show. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

I downgraded my cable package so I don't get AMC anymore so I will have to wait until Season 5 comes out on DVD/Bluray next year. I guess I can watch the episodes on amazon but that will be paying for it twice. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley
